Thx Vinny, the link that you provided is bang on. Do you think it is unusual for home office to ignore or reject other EEA country's unmarried partner equivalents. Don't you think that it is quite ignorant?vinny wrote:You seem to have sufficient proof. Appeal and reapply.
Six years as a student and they won't count your student period. My valid duration only start from 2007. I am qualified to apply for citizenship, but the new rules in Ireland stated that you have to be in the country for at least 365 days continuously upon your application. I went home for holiday last November and therefore will have to wait till Nov 2012. SickeningRolfus wrote:You have been living in Ireland for more than ten years. Can't you solve your problem by applying for citizenship?
One thing that might have caused the refusal is the Department of Justice or Immigration in Ireland only issued me with an A4 page letter to certified me as an unmarried partner status. I got this one page letter in April 2010. Since then, I have to renew every year in the local immigration office. I have to bring this letter together with the utility bills to show me and my partner are still living in the same address, in order to get another year of renewal. I also got a resident card for every year from the renewal but the card only show stamp 4 but not unmarried partner.Obie wrote:In addition to the above, i believe you should appeal and reapply. That way the ECO/ECO will have 2 opportunities to review your application.
If they are satisfied fine, if not, you will have the opportunity of an appeal without you time being wasted any further.
To succeed in obtaining residency as unmarried partner in Ireland is pretty difficult.
I find it strange that one would succeed under Irish rule and fail to obtain an EEA family permit, when the authorities are satisfied you are living as common law partners.
