Going back home :( There's no point in staying here. My husband can't do what he came to do here working 10 hours a day, and there's no certainty of a quick resolution. UK is out of the question now, our funds are not precisely abundant or even enough to start all over again. Wish we knew before we...

Thanks guys for the info. The reason I was asking is the following: As soon as I received the letter requesting proof of prior residence in another EU state, I got in touch with the Embassy of Ireland in Argentina. They told me that Ireland was requesting prior residence in another member state to ...

Thanks so much!!!!

Hi Tomás, Sorry to hear about the rejection. I e-mailed you about this, but my main question is: Do they actually state that they cannot grant you temporary residence in your refusal letter? Best of luck with everything. tomasmv wrote: So in accordace with the provisions of regulation 8(1), it is ...

Archigabe said: What is really galling is that a work permit holder from a Non-European country would seem to have more rights to bring his family over than a European citizen in Ireland... Last week I went over to the GNIB to try to get them to stamp my passport so I could enter another EU country ...

Hi Kevarms, Our main frustration is also related to the fact that we were misinformed by the Irish Embassy in Buenos Aires (http://www.irlanda.org.ar/). Just for you to know, that Embassy represents Ireland in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay. In short, though they seem very nice peo...

Thanks BigApple! I thought I was the only one who found the wording complicated and confusing. In regards to the actual impact, I'm also pesimistic. This just confirms that we have a point, and I think we knew that from the very beginning. As I said in previous posts, we don't need a loophole to be...

...Community law does not require Member States to make the grant of a residence permit to nationals of a non-Member State, who are members of the family of a Community national who has exercised his or her right of free movement, subject to the condition that those family members have previously b...

bulmash "A barrister contacted me yesterday to advise that there had been a judgment on Tuesday last from Judge Hanna in the case of Kumar v The Minister for Justice. I attended personally at the High Court, presided by Justice Hanna, and they told me that the Kumar case had been postponed until th...

Bulmash, I hold an Argentine passport (just like the US, I don't need a visa). Last week I was at the GNIB and they made a note (they took my picture and they gave me a registration number) that I was going to leave he country. The BIG difference is that I'm still awaiting a response, I haven't rec...

The decision I mention in my previous post is the High Court ruling. My only question was: "Why do we know that the Kumar case is the one?" I couldn't find the source for that. I don't know if the info that the Immigrant Council gave me is accurate either, but they said they expected the High Court...

Guys, On previous posts it was stated that Kumar is the case we have to follow, and that's the reason why we were trying to attend... Today I called the Immigrant Council and they told me that there are a number of cases (not just one) and that in regards to the one they are following, they expect ...

Hearing postponed until June 26th... Sorry for the bad news. :( I was so upset I didn't even ask the reason for the postponement... Does anybody have that info? I'm guessing it could be: a) The Court is rescheduling; b) one of the parties is requesting an extension. When I got there they had alread...
