Work permit - EU1

has anyone heard about the kumar vs justice dept case whts happened i dont see any news or posting on the issue

Hi Peter,

there are several threads with Informations on the Kumar Case somewhere on here.

The case has been ruled in favour of the DOJ. Probably partly due to Mr. Kumars circumstances (previous illegally staying in the UK and Belgium). AFAIK the case now goes to the supreme court, which is expected to take about 2 years.

According to Solvit the DOJ has recenly issued a few temporary (2 years) Stamp 4 residence cards to people affected. But it is not known yet what the criteria for the Issuing of these temporary cards were.

Unfortunately I can't help you with the residence permit route, as we choose the route to leave Ireland instead. I know that Static got it. She posted about it somehwre on here. You might want to PM her for further Infos.

Cheers,
DSAB

i am a asian married to a eu citizen i do have a job offer (managerial)
does it help?
this eu1 crisis is taken over our lives and we husband and wife have not had a good night sleep since.
please let us know about the work permit

I've found it hidden on the entemp website... they probably just added (ofcourse they won't put new things on the frontpage... I've called them yesterday to answer questions.
appearantly the permit is for 12 months and can't be renewed. i asked for clarification, the answer was "it might get extended". i have no idea why it can't be renewed. asked how long it takes for "fast tracking", the answer was "2-3 weeks".

website how to apply for the workpermit is here:
http://www.entemp.ie/labour/workpermits/marriedtoeu.htm

the form which needs to be used:
http://www.entemp.ie/publications/labou ... itform.pdf

see: http://www.workpermit.com/news/2007_03_ ... delays.htm (old news but nothing was said on DETE website and immigration officers/consulates/embassies all point to use the EU treaty rights which will lead to long waiting for rejection when you didn't live in another EU country before coming to Ireland)

You can apply for the employment permit, it's free anyways... in the meantime send an appeal letter to DoJ and complaint letters about DoJ regarding not complying Directive 2004/38/EC to many organisations who can help
what i can advice is:
- contact SOLVIT
- contact MCRI (will support us), ICI, local politicians (look on , TDs, new Minister for Justice Mr. Brian Lenihan, Members of EU Commission, Members of EU Parlement.
- more... see in the other treats in the forum
