I don't know anything about asylum seeking but for Zambrano you need the following:
A colour copy of the bio-data page of the Irish born citizen child's passport,
The Irish born citizen child's original Birth certificate - a copy is not acceptable,
A colour copy of the bio-data page of the applicant's own passport,
Two colour passport sized photographs, signed on the back by the applicant,
Documentary evidence that the Irish born citizen child is living in the State,
Proof of the applicant's address and residence in Ireland (e.g. current utility bills etc.),
Documentary evidence of the role the applicant is playing in his/her child's life (e.g. letters from schools, crèches etc.) and
Any other information that the applicant considers relevant to his/her case.
As our child was a small baby at the time we got a doctor's letter to advise that the father did indeed live with us and was playing an active role. This can be from school/creche/doctor etc.,
We had letters of support from friends and family. Proof of address, photo's we had lots of photos.
Just to let you know we were turned down for Zambrano, but we received stamp 3 with De Facto. Maybe something to consider if you can prove relationship history.
Waiting times are long for Zambrano applications. We waited 7months for a decision. We had a solicitor and local TD's backed our case. Hope it works out well for you.
