If member states implement Laws so perfectly and as required, i don't think there will be need for a National Court or a European court. The reason we have them, is to ensure your rights are upheld, if member states try to violate them. The UK and Poland have signed up to the laws in question, and i...

I think a particular individual is only keeping a low profile. I don't think she has been banned. I suspect she has come to realise how inappropriate her actions were and decided to take a break. She did acknowledge on another thread that she deserved to be banned. I am sure the authorities realised...

The directive is true indeed, but sometimes it seems like it isn't. Myself and 3 of my other non-EU family members are living in Ireland under the directive. In regards to the UK and other Schengen states, you have to persevere and be assertive in order for your rights to be upheld. They request sev...

You can claim tax credit in both of your names and that will not affect his application for spousal visa or ILR, when the time reaches.

Also you can continue claiming income support, as long as his presence does not lead to you having to claim additional benefits other than the one i mentioned above.

You can also contact SOLVIT along the way. Article 5 Right of entry 1. Without prejudice to the provisions on trav...

Congratulations Tony on finding your soul mate, and other half. You have found a good thing indeed. In regards to your query, can i just ask what your nationality is, and in which capacity you have been living in Poland, ie (how have you been exercising treaty rights). You can use the rules you ment...

She doesn't need to register under the WRS, if she was self sufficient. However, she will need to provide bank statement and medical insurance. If the people she was living with, can attest she was living with them, and they were providing for her needs, then she can say she was self-sufficient. Was...

If you read that statement carefully, you will notice that you only need to provide that evidence if you have been married before. If you haven't, you need not worry about it.

Hi mate, Was there a stamp on her passport. I thought they are not supposed to stamp her passport. Did she come in before the A8 accession. If she can prove she has been in the UK for 5 years, as a self-sufficient person, she can apply on form EEA3 for a Permanent Resident Certificate. I am unsure w...

Perfectly right and apologies for the wrong info.

I am unsure where i read the 18 years thing. Having re-read the law again, i realised it is not a requirement.

However, If you wait until the birth of the next generation before you register, you will be unable to pass on Irish Citizenship to them.

Thanks for the clarification. We were thinking of applying for a GP card, but fear it might be classified as public benefit.

I think that is a food for thought. One more thing, if you pick up another citizenship from another country through means other than by virtue of marriage, you loose you citizenship as well. I suppose they will only take those actions if you hold a dual nationality. I don't think they will succeed i...

I think the medical card is outside the scope of the treaty, so she will not be covered. She would have been entitled to it, if she was living in Ireland but working in another member state.

10 Euros a week on travel. Which part of Ireland is that?

It cost nearly 25 euros where i am living in Dublin, and the system is quite inefficient and incoherent.

I will love to move to that area.
