Hello everyone,
I (non-eu citizen-Turkey) and my husband (eu-citizen-Dutch) are about to move to England from Ireland. After reading the UK board, we have several questions.
1) How long does it usually take to get the Family Permit visa? Anyone here who applied at Dublin embassy?
2) Thanks to Irish immigration (the reason also why we are leaving here), I have no paper saying I am staying here legally. We were tossed around since our arrival in June, namely in between Garda and Dept. of Justice, and after wasting our two and a half months, Garda sent us to the Dept. of Just. saying we should first get through with the EU1 form and only after that I can register with Garda to get that stamp 4 and greencard. My D-Spouse visa is ending this week. I have to wait at least 5 more months to get that residence card and the Garda greencard. So I have nothing to show to the embassy that I am staying here legally. (I can't leave the country and come back either). We want to move to England together so we want to apply for the Family Permit here. I live here, not in Turkey. I haven't even lived in Turkey for the past 6 years so my country of residence is currently Ireland but how do I prove that? Any suggestions on this dilemma?
3) After finally arriving in England, what should my next step be? Should I apply for the EEA2 right away or do I register with the police etc?
4) From what I read here so far, it seems like the EEA2 applications take a long time to process, maybe the whole 6 months. Since the Family Permit is for 6 months, what do I do if they don't get back to us about the EEA2 before the Family Permit expires? Can I renew it in the UK or do I have to go back to Turkey?
Thank you all so much for reading and helping us out. Good luck to all of you!
