You should apply for the Schengen Visa with the German Embassy. We (me being german) just applied for my wifes Schengen visa at the German Embassy without mentioning where we were going and got Issued a mutiple entry Visa valid for one year. We sent it via mail and all we needed to send were the two...
AFAIK several boardmembers have already relocated to the UK and Northern Ireland. I moved with my wife to Nortern Ireland, as I was able to cut a deal with my employer that enabled me to keep my current job and to work more from home. We were not sure what to do, but now we are really glad we did it...
No, that's def. not true. My Wifes EEA FP was valid from the 1st of July 2007 to the 1st of January 2008.
We sent in the EEA1 and EEA2 on the 6th of July, straight after we sent foot into the UK, and we got the Residence Card for me and the Residence permit for my wife within less then 2 months.
In another Topic i saw the following: "the Residence Card is only issued to family members of EEA nationals other than nationals of the UK." I applied for EEA1 together with my wifes EEA2 application, and I received a Blue UK residence Card, but my wife only get the Residence Permit Sticker in her p...
First of all you should apply as soon as possible via the EU1 Form. The quicker you apply the quicker they might respond. :roll: (good joke, I know) To apply for a work permit while the EU1 application is pending your will need to find a job first. A company has to be willing to support your work pe...
The EEA1 is the residence Permit application for an EU citizen. This is not really required to have or do, and most people probably wouldn't apply for it. The EEA1 application has a processing time of roughly 6 to 8 weeks. The EEA2 application is for the Non-EU Spouse, and has a processing time of a...
Hello together, as some might know me and my wife were one of the affected couples of the Irish EU1 fiasco. I had been living in Ireland for more then six years, and married my non-EUwife after a five year (proven) relationship in June 2006. We had applied for residency for my wife via the EU1 form ...
You will need to take a deep breath... :wink: We appealed at the end of March 2007, and had no response at all until July 2007, when we left Ireland. I am sure if we would have stayed we would still not have had a response by now. We also sent 2 reminders, which wnet unnoticed. We also sent a letter...
just as a sidenote...you don't necessarily need the passport for the National Insurance number, but it might help. They have a way to verify it directly with the home Office. My wife applied just with our lease, a household bill, the letter from the home office and some proof that she had applied fo...
I will send you a PM with a few links from my Househunt and a few tips. I am driving to south Dublin 3 times a week (2 days Work from home), but I arranged my working hours so that I get around the traffic. I leave the House at around 5.40 to be at work at 7 and leave at 3.30 to be home before 5. Th...
Helloo Sara, you might be looking for this one: http://www.ind.homeoffice.gov.uk/applying/eeaeunationals The current dates are at the bottom of the list. Cheers, DSAB Hello everyone, Just a quick question: Where can I find the web page containing the information regarding the EEA applications they a...
And with the big difference that in the UK the NON-EU spouse is allowed to work from the day you arrive with your EU spouse, and in Ireland only after they approved your application, which takes anything between 6 and 9 months, it seems.
I would recommend to leave Ireland asap, before they get wind of the fact that you are illegal. There are no exit controls in Ireland so nobody will ever know that you overstayed in Ireland. Then I would recommend that you apply for the EEA Family Permit in Egypt, which shouldn't be much of a proble...
Dimey.. if you are currently exercising your EU Treaty rights abroad, can't you then go back to the Netherlands and be considered as a EU citizen and not a dutch citizen? I am german and have been living abroad for several years. If I go back to Germany I can choose if I want to apply under german l...
I think it depends which Schengen Country you go to. Some countries are changing the requirements for spouses of EU citizens. I know for example that spouses of EU citizens who are legally residing in Ireland, and have the Stamp 4 Residency (Spouse of a EU citizen) do not need a visa to enter german...
We appealed end of March/beginning of April, and haven't heard a word from them so far. We even sent another registered letter a month ago to ask for an update, but haven't heard anything either. We now cancelled our pending application, as we moved to Northern Ireland. I asked them to confirm this....
hi, i really apreciate all the information that you write here is really important for me and also for my husband. can you tell me or give a link where i can find EE1 and also EE2 forms. i think that the only road for people like me is go to other place. im really desapoint about this, anyway i hav...
I am in Newry as well. Have a look at the UK Forum, very good informations there. The following is assuming that you are a EU citizen from one of the "older" EU member states. There are slightly different rules for citizens of the "new" member states afaik: You will need a EEA Family Permit as an en...
We sent the following to make sure we covered all areas: - both original passports - marriage certificate - letter explaining our situation and how we met and got married - letter from employer confirming my employment, employment start, annual salary and private health insurance for me and my wife ...
I went that route. We moved up last month after being fed up with our situation in Ireland. I (EU citizen) am still employed in Ireland, and can work from home two days a week. That way the driving won't drive me mad. We applied for the EEA1 and EEA2 3 weeks ago, and my wife (non-EU) already has sta...
Yes, it states that you are allowed to work, confirms that your passport is with them, asks you not to disturb them while they are processing your application and give you a hotline number that can be called by any employers if they need any verification on your status.
I guess it depends what you do for a living. My wife has a Master Degree as well, and companies were just not willing to get into anything work permit related. Even when she explained that was entitled to one, and that it would be fast-tracked and be free of charge they were unwilling to go with it....
