Hi everyone,
My wife will be applying for the EU1 Residence Card in Ireland while we are there on a Short Stay Visa.
As far as I can read, the EU1 application is delayed - a lot! Right now it says 10-12 weeks to get the acknowledge letter. The Short Stay C Visa works for 90 Days, which is approx 12 weeks.
When applying for the EU1 Residence Card, they need 2 payslips from me as a financial proof. But the problem is that I won't be working there for 2 months prior to her arrival since we arrive together.
So my questions is: What's gonna happen if she applies for the EU1 after 2 months (= 1 month left of the Short Stay C Visa), and then the Short Stay Visa expires?? Is it possible to get the short stay visa extended while waiting for the EU1 application to be acknowledged? Is she allowed to stay in Ireland after the short stay visa expires, as long as she has handed in the EU1 application form? Or would she have to leave after 90 days?
Or does anyone know if it is possible to apply for the EU1 residence card as soon as possible after we arrive, and then provide them with the payslips later on (as long as I can provide them with a contract AND eventually a bankstatement with sufficient money?) when I get them?
Hope someone can clarify this for me.
Thanks!
