Surprisingly I talked to one of their people today. Had to dial about 30 times, but finally got through. I got a call from one of their people on Friday regarding my wifes application, and just wanted to follow up on that call. Unfortunately he was not available, but the lady on the phone checked on...
Good Question. My wifes application is overdue since the end of january (Justice Department received it at the end of July). We were told about a Lawsuit against the Justice Department regarding the EU1 application. I asked Solvit to investigate, and they confirmed that there seems to be a legal cas...
Hello, today I got a response from SOLVIT, and there really seems to be a court case: I have contacted the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform in relation to your problem with the application for your spouse, Ms. XXX and her Irish residency application under Directive 2004/38/EC. I am in ...
opened another thread, but thought I would put it in here as well ... I just called the EU Treaty right Section to follow up on my wifes EU1 application (over 6 months already), and the woman on the phone dropped a bombshell. She said the EU Treaty Rights Section has been taken to court regarding th...
Hi, I just called the EU Treaty right Section to follow up on my wifes EU1 application (over 6 months already), and the woman on the phone dropped a bombshell. She said the EU Treaty Rights Section has been taken to court regarding the EU1 process, and until the Court Case has been settled they won'...
We had the same issue. According to Immigration It is not possible to get a tourist visa extended in Ireland while you are waiting for the EU1 application to be processed. You also cannot get a Re-Entry Permit issued. According to them the ONLY way is for her to leave the country and to get back is ...
Hello, my wifes EU1 application is now slighlty over 6 months old. Today she called Immigration, and they told her that they are not able to process them within the legal 6 months frame anymore. According to them she will have to wait for another 1 - 2 months. Anybody have an idea what we could do n...
Hello Zaid, as my wife is covered via my companys health scheme we provided a letter from my employer that she is covered via VHI. I think the proof of health insurance was mentioned as a requirement on one of the documents. We tried to apply for a PPS number, but didn't manage to get one. But it se...
Hello Zaid, the EU1 process def. takes up to 6 months. It appears that most people got their response after about 5 month. My wife applied at the end of July, and we still haven't received a response. So better prepare yourself for the full 6 months, and def. apply as soon as possible. Cheers, Daniel
Wow. sounds good. Seems as if they are now really pushing for it. That means my wife will hopefull hear soon as well. 4 months and almost 3 weeks as well at the moment.
So, if I read previous threads and responses correcly, then some people who applied in the middle of June should be due their response by now. Did anyone else hear anything lately?
I was hoping they would go for a big push before they go on their XMAS/NY break.
Yes, that's more or less it if spouse is a EU national. When we applied for the residence permit via the EU1 form we provided them with Evidence of our relationship (pictures, wedding certificate, financial statements, previous visas, evidence of my employment, evidence of health insurance for the m...
As you don't need a visa for Ireland, and can go almost everywhere without a visa as well you won't need to formally apply for an Irish Visa. When you arrive in Ireland you apply at the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform for the Residence Permit (Green Card) via the EU1 form. The applica...
We tried applying for a PPS number for my wife today. We are in the same boat, as my wife is awaiting the approval of the EU1 application. But they said that they can't issue a PPS number until we have the residence permit approved. We even had our marriage certificate and the 69 number with us. The...
We called them via 1890-551 500 and then press 3 and next option choose 3 again. They only answer the phone MO/WE/FR from 10-12.30 and 14.00-16.00, I think. In our case it is especially depressing as my wife just got offered a (rare) job in her line of work, but the company won't be able to hold the...
I am german and my wife is thai. We tried to apply for the D-Spouse Visa. According to the Thai Consulate in Bangkok we couldn't apply for the D-Spouse visa, as we were not legally married at the time we applied for the visa. They told us we could only apply for a tourist visa. So that's what we did.
Hello, with Interest i have read a few of the recent topics related to the EU1 residence application for the spouses of Non-EU citizens. Has anyone already gotten a decission? I am just curious, as I am currently waiting for my wifes to come through, and it seems to take forever: My story is as foll...
