Irish Spouse Visa Appeal refused

[nettan]

Hi All, My wife's visa appeal was refused today for the following reasons
1. Relationship History and Status
2. ID
3 Insufficient financial documentations

These issues were all addressed in the appeal that was submitted on 11/04/2013. Many evidences of relationship like pictures, email, visit stamps(3 different occasions spanning over 4 years before the wedding), letter of employment and 6 months bank statement with balance over €1000. Copy of Irish passport and many more identification documents.

Kindly advise on what next to do..We gave more than enough evidences while appealling against the issues raised in the initial refusal. Only one of the initial reasons was excluded this time (Evidence of communication after wedding and evidence of financial support from me to her)

Please if you know of a good immigration lawyer kindly recommend one. We have waited for over 10 months altogether. The situation is desperate.

Many thanks.

very surprised.I know someone who is in process of making application even he is not in possession of Irish citizenship(stamp 4 holder).I would suggest you to check with immigrant council of ireland before u make move to check with solicitor.I thought all they need is evidence of relationship and required threshold.

I am not irish yet but i was advised by someone to wait till i get citizenship and then apply.

initial decision took 6 months..We got a negative decision a week after i recalled my wife's passport in protest. I would suggest you speak to a lawyer before applying..The whole thing sucks

I submitted printed pictures.. The term ID is vague. they did not specify what it means in the refusal letter but only made reference to their website for documentation requirements for Irish spouse visa application

[courny]

i read on the immigrant council recommendations that digital pictures are better as they show the time stamp for the pictures taken. especially to prove relationship existed before marriage.

the website does not give the complete list. ull have to combine the required documents list from the website, embassy recommendations and have a good look through all the refusal. there is a general pattern.
ive spent days looking through it and you can easily pick out which ones are spouse visa refusal.
honestly i added atleast 5 or 6 more documents

Nettan,

sorry to hear this. I am suprise they've refused. How long did it take before they refused the Appeal !!?

You should have appealed with a lawyer though. That is the best way to go.

Go talk to a lawyer and see what he/she says. You could also see your local TD.

Good luck,
Nanette

Hi,
You do not give your wife's nationality .Where were you married, is the marriage recognised in Ireland. The amount of 1000 euro in the bank account is low . When you apply eg for a study visa for a non eu the required amount in the bank account should be minimum 7000 euro. I think if they wanted to pick on something it should have been this . Not the vague reasons given.
The Irish embassy in the Philippines no longer accepts phone records or e mails as proof of a relationship.

I am of the opinion that it is easier to get married or have a civil partnership in the UK. This is recognised in Ireland . In the application it is clear that you do not intend to stay in the UK after the marriage. Then apply from outside the country for a visa to come to Ireland .
Your case however shows even with a marriage its difficult. I suggest the local TD . I find solicitors in these cases have no magic formula.
Never take the advice from just one official be it immigration or any government dept. There are those that 'make it up as they go along'
A positive decision could have been given by another official luck really !!
I would say realistically a relationship should be tested 2 years is reasonable .Experience .

I was refused for Ireland Visit visa in 2012. I am planing to use that Suringh Sign Rouse,will the previous refusal affect my application in anyway? please could someone help? Thank you guys

[atkin]

I applied to the UK for a Civil Partnership visa for a filipino national and this was also refused. I spoke to a lawyer after and she told me that they would not grant a visa as both of us are not living in the UK.

I will try again next year to apply for a tourist visa for my friend to come to Ireland.
