Non EU Parent of Irish Born Child

I have Stamp 4 and I am eligible to apply for naturalisation but I just haven't had a chance to do so yet. But I have given birth to my child in Ireland whom is now Irish born but his father is a non European national still living in his country. I want my husband to join me and our baby here in Ireland, how do I go about doing this now? Does the Zambrano case apply? What do I do? I would appreciate any advise!

If your husband can travel to Ireland then he can make an application for permission to remain on the basis of Zambrano. In general, it would have been better if he had travelled to Ireland before the birth, as the Zambrano right is stronger if the non EU parent is living in Ireland from the time of birth, so show the bond with the baby is from birth.

This table below shows the number of Zambrano applications, broken down by case-type, received from 1 March 2011 to 30 September 2013 (which is the latest date for which figures are available).

The case-types are split by case outcomes, including cases refused and cases granted. Cases which are still are still awaiting a decision come under the ‘pending’ category.

If either parent is legally resident in the island of Ireland for 3 out of 4 years immediately prior to the birth, then the child is entitled to Irish Citizenship, in theory the fact that the father is married to someone else should not effect this fact.

But you will need to provide some proof of the fathers residency. I would imagine that you might also need the father listed on the birth cert, while not essential, again, it does towards proving entitlement.

Dear Gerald

Thanks for replying. As you mention that if i have proof of my boyfriend is father of my child which i have it in Hospital and our GP. also its mention on BIrth Certificate. so can you please explain how do i do application and what documents i need from my boyfriend side. one more thing as my boyfriend is not divorced yet so would be OK for it?

The requirements are listed in the Citizen Information website, you need the following.

• The Child's Full Birth cert.
• The parent's passport as well as a detailed note indicating which pages contain immigration stamps covering the reckonable periods of residence. If the passport office is unable to confirm the required three years residence from the passport, the parent will have to get a letter from the Garda National Immigration Bureau (GNIB) to confirm the reckonable periods of residence.
• The parent's registration card issued by the GNIB

The parent must have been lawfully resident in the island of Ireland for a total of 3 or more years during the 4 years immediately before the birth. (This does not include periods awaiting a decision on refugee status or residency granted specifically for the purpose of study.). Since you do not meet these requirements, you need to use the Passport and GNIB card of the father.
