This is the artical in The Irish Times Re High court ruling!!
Last week I went over to the GNIB to try to get them to stamp my passport so I could enter another EU country (temporaly) even if my original tourist stamp for Ireland was expired.What is really galling is that a work permit holder from a Non-European country would seem to have more rights to bring his family over than a European citizen in Ireland...
That is absolute rubbish. People often do make decisions based on climate (Australia). BUt that was not my point. Why stay somewhere if you are clearly not welcome, never mind the arguments about your 'rights'BigAppleWoodenShoe wrote:@ Joesoap101.
You don't move to a country because you like the weather, or because you think it's pretty. You move to a country because you like the work there, because you think it's good for your non-european wife to enjoy an European way of living without the barrier of language. Because you like the people and because you think there is oppurtunity for you there.
If a had chosen a country on the basis of weather and prettyness, I'd be lounging in Aruba right now.
Wouldn't help. I provided the DOJ with proof of living in the UK for 2 months before coming to Ireland with my husband and still got declined.stmani wrote:if i leave ireland for a month or so and live in another EU state and then come back here......would that make any difference?

I agree. Let's all get together. How about our house? I'll start a new topic and we can get a general feel for it??archigabe wrote:Yes, I heard from another source that Kumar had been living illegally in Belgium and the UK, so the High Court conveniently used the Akrich case to decide on his application. That's so unfair to the rest of us who have not broken any laws and who are following the law to the letter.It's a lost cause if we wait for the Kumar case to go to the Supreme court. I think it's time for us who have no immigration violations to get together and launch a lawsuit.
I was also advised to send an appeal to the DOJ since I received a denial letter so that there was no danger of them deporting me.I would suggest everyone who's been sent a denial letter to send an appeal in writing to the D.O.J
Where are you now or going joesoap? You thinking of the Netherlands? Have any info on it? at least the language will be easy for me.joesoap101 wrote:That is absolute rubbish.

You may 'like' the Irish people but they dont really 'like' you, as an immigrant who they view as a sponger/asylum seeker. The attitude of the Dept of Justice is completely reflected in the general population. If you dont see this, then you're living in a dream world.
You might be better advised to go live in the Netherlands for 3 years and obtain citizenship for your wife, it makes much more sense- as apposed to 7.5 years in Ireland.
My native language is Afrikaans which is similar to dutch. In fact it is called Spam dutch so it would be easy for me to learn as I can already understand a lot of it. I also speak German (but am losing it fast as I'm not practicing!) And.. strangely enough Zulu. But I don't think there are any countries that I would want to live in that that would help mestmani wrote:how come the language easy for you!!!!!!!!!!! for me thats the only reason stopping me from immigrating to neitherland or belgium where people get citizenship in 3 years.............
That sounds cool!

I'm going to Boston in a couple of months, I'm not necesarily a big fan of the US but no one can deny that it still offers excellent opportunities.
If you speak Afrikaans, living in the Netherlands is made much simpler. You will understand most of what people are saying in a few weeks- learning the language is also relatively easy- although the grammatical differences between Afrikaans and Dutch are substantial. You will be able to read newspapers and understand the news on TV.
There is a substantial South African community in the Netherlands, but I dont think its particularly easy to find employment, but it is do-able. I lived there for almost 2 years- quite liked it, it certainly is better organised than Ireland and you wont get MRSA if you go to a hospital there (you wont wait for days on a trolley either).
Keep in mind that the Netherlands is an egalitarian society- this may not suit everyone... It seems that most Dutch workers ends up earning the same wages due to the tax system- I remember when I lived there, the government collected too much tax so everyone got 60 euro in the mail, it was great even though a relatively small amount!
