Hi Scrudu,scrudu wrote:If you check out any of the posts from Irish citizens or spouses of Irish citizens you'll see that the same checks/restrictors based on "marriages of convenience" also apply! The only difference is there is no Law or Directive which governs how non-EU spouses of Irish citizens should be handled, hence every application made is a bit of a "hit n miss" procedure!
Check out shellylooney's case for an example of a non-EU (phillipines) spouse of an Irish citizen whose application was refused on the basis of "lack of proof of relationship".
I agree the rights of non-Irish and their families seem to be down the list of priorities for many politicans (as do non-Irish spouses of Irish citizens). It's worth bringing it up as a topic with politians when they canvas at your door over the coming months!
I have my latest update regarding my visa application. As you all know my husbands appeal was still rejected but the letter from Visa section told us to meet again for the 3rd time so that they will look favorably in my 2nd application.
So what my husband did he was here in the Philippines this January for his 3rd time visit. Then after he gone home I have all the evidences from our 3rd meet. I applied again for a new application. Its been 3rd week already since I lodged my papers so husband follow-up in Dublin for the update of my papers. So SAD again that my husband told me they still refused my visa 2nd time for the same grounds.
Im expecting all was ok now bec its in their letter say that they will look favorably in my 2nd application. I don't know what else they like to see or to proved that this marriage was true.
Looking forward for your points of view.
