does anyone have an actual experience getting into Dublin? my wife is a non-visa national and we won't be able to apply for an EU1 or whatever it's called as i'm currently living in scotland. our plan is for my wife to fly into Dublin and to settle there. as my wife will not have a visa (being from ...

thank you for responding and apologies if i came across as being short. all i am asking is for what you've just provided. a spectrum of possible outcomes that may occur.

you're telling me things i already know.

what will happen to my wife if they decide that is the course of action required and that she is to be removed?
how long will the process take and where will she be kept?
what will happen to my son during that time?

she has no negative immigration history apart from overstaying for 4 months. she has also failed to obtain a spouse visa (which i personally don't deem to be negative immigration history). we've made a decision that she's going to try to get into Heathrow and see what happens. i think it is unlikely ...

so you're saying she'll have a better chance to fly into Ireland than to London?

i'm confused, isn't FLR(M) the spouse visa? we don't meet requirements for that.

flight is already booked to come into heathrow.

yep i know that's what we need to do. i'm trying to make sure we've done everything possible to ensure she does. i'm not worried about once she gets here, just want to be as sure as possible she'll get in. the worst possible situation is they tell her to turn around and get on another flight back to ...

she's in NZ with my son. she intends to come back in the next 2 weeks and i want to do everything i can to make sure she gets in.

yes, we do not plan to be here for ever, maybe another 2-3 years.

i assume you're an immigration lawyer? would you be able to assist us?

thanks, Obie. are you able to provide some more information on the specific circumstances? are they similar to mine?

agreed, she'll need to overstay the visit visa before she'll be able to apply. if she gets temp admission though she'll be able to apply immediately.

does anyone know a good immigration lawyer that specialises in removal cases?

our plan is once she's in the country to get a FLR(FP) application completed and sorted.

anyway, how would NHS know? they wouldn't have a clue i'm sure.

we're going to give it a go and see what happens. i still cannot believe that they will 'remove' a commonwealth citizen with a British born child who has made their life in the UK in the past 5 years (legally) and the reason why her visa was declined was due to a technicality. if they do, i will be ...

it seems to me we would at least have grounds to argue our case against administrative removal (under ECHR), which would mean they wouldn't be able to 'remove' her immediately, do you agree with this?

what would be 'sufficient'?

hi casa, was just reading about administrative removal and came across this: 4 Deportation and administrative removal are prohibited if either would be contrary to the United Kingdom’s obligations under the Refugee Convention or ECHR. wouldn't separating a mother from her son violate our right to f ...

ahhhh 'welcome'

i hope you'e right mate. thanks for the response.

i'm merely going to exercise my right under EU law to have my wife live with me in a member state and then obtain the correct documentation to allow my wife to live in the UK. can you explain how that is cheating the system?

didn't get your last sentence sorry.

Hi, we are going to move to Dublin to exercise my treaty rights for my wife to get into the UK eventually. My wife will be arriving on a NZ passport (from NZ) on her own with our baby son (British). What should she expect the immigration officer at Dublin Airport to say? What documents must she have ...

ok, and how about the question around the imm officer in dublin? does my wife just need to say she's meeting me and we're going to settle and try to find work here? any evidence needed or anything?

she's going to need to clear customs to get her bags and board her next flight - might just change the flight to go direct to dublin.

can she expect any issues with immigration officer at dublin airport? i've read it's her right to be here as long as she's meeting me. just wondering what to expect.

thanks Casa. let's talk Surindher Singh route. if my wife has a flight to London booked, and we want to go to Dublin to begin exercising our treaty rights, will the ECO officer allow my wife through London in this case? She hasn't got a direct flight to Dublin therefore will have to clear security ...

i don't think there's anything noting the refusal in her passport, will check. under what circumstances is she NOT allowed to appeal if she is denied entry? if we get down the route of judicial review, where would she stay whilst waiting for this? this information is a bit hazy online and just ...

casa, can you confirm that when you say they would put her on a plane back to NZ, that that is in fact a deportation order? and in that case i understand we would have the right to appeal, is that correct?

can i just ask, have you seen people in our situation have this happen to them? or are you applying a general comment based on the immigration rules? reason i ask is that the immigration lawyer i spoke with was adamant he has had significant number of people come in and if they have a British child ...
