What citizenship is your wife? And the passports are not signed for anyone, or just for your wife?AmeenNassir wrote:I recieved an email today from the INIS stating that my wifes visa has ben rejected on the grounds that her passport is not signed.
I dont understand this reason as all of the passports issued from her country are not signed in the same way British or EU passports are.

So what exactly did they say in refusing to issue the visa? Did they refuse in writing?

How would you prove to me that a Yemeni passport does not need to be signed? Are there pictures of the standard data page (and the facing page) somewhere on the internet that I could see? Is there a written description from a Yemeni ministry that explains this?
How easy is it for you to just reapply? Are you in the same city as the Irish embassy?
andSTATUTORY INSTRUMENT
S.I. No. 226 of 2006
(3)(b) The Minister shall, on the basis of an accelerated process, consider an application for an
Irish visa from a qualifying family member referred to in subparagraph (a) as soon as
possible and, if the Minister decides to issue an Irish visa, the relevant Irish visa shall be
issued free of charge.
(2) If there is no Yemeni requirement that the passport be signed, then it is valid. (Some countries specifiy that their passport is valid only when signed).Directive 2004/38/EC
Article 5 -- Right of entry
2. Family members who are not nationals of a Member State [may sometimes be required to have a visa].
Member States shall grant such persons every facility to obtain the necessary visas. Such visas shall be issued free of charge as soon as possible and on the basis of an accelerated procedure.
From my experience there is no "accelerated process" done by the guys at the INIS. They are not really taking into account EU Freedom of Movement law AT ALL.nad2107 wrote:how long does the case take in the accelarated process as we applied about 6 weeks ago n got told another 6-8 weeks when we rang last week
OK. That is fine.AmeenNassir wrote:Although just to state that I am already in Ireland, my wife is still in Yemen.
Ameen - in your experience, how long did the INIS take to issue your visit visa?AmeenNassir wrote:From my experience there is no "accelerated process" done by the guys at the INIS.

No surprises here, these guys can and probably will refuse your application for any reason, albeit unjustly!AmeenNassir wrote:Thank you for your enquiry. I regret to inform you that application 8145402Directive/2004/38/EC wrote:AmeenNassir:
