The "being resident in another country for a day or two" doesn't work. According to the EU Treaty Department the only evidence accepted is a residence Card from that country or Household Bills in combination with a lease agreement. Now you just have to figure out where they issue the residence card ...
There seems to be at least one recent change. New Residence permits are now issued for the full 5 years, and not for one year anymore. A friend of my wife got her residence card issued today for 5 years. She had applied via EU1 in November 2006, but had lived in her husbands home country before (eve...
I did. :-) We are completely moving up for about 6 months. My company offered me a UK transfer for up to a year or however long it takes to get the UK Residence card. After that we will move back to Ireland. By then the situation will hopefully be sorted, and it won't take an eternity anymore to get...
We went to the GNIB office this evening. Not because of some else's success, but because we would have done it anyway. They said they could never issue a Stamp 3 GNIB Card or even a re-entry permit without a written Permission of the Justice Department, stating that the person is allowed to stay and...
Thanks for sharing that info. Funnily enough I had planned to do the same tomorrow, as my wife will be leaving on friday. Will let you know if it works for me.
But why did you have to pay 100 Euros? shouldn't it be free of charge for Spouses of EU Citizens?
Yes, in the Uk you are allowed to work straight away. According to the UK Board you get a Confirmation of your EEA2 application after you applied to the Home Office, and it even states that you are allowed to work while the application is processed, and that the letter serves as prove to any prospec...
My wife will now be leaving Ireland and re-apply for a new multipl-entry spouse visa from her home country. We will also apply for a UK EEA Family Permit, as my job offered me a UK contract, which would allow me to work out of Northern Ireland. We will then get her the residence permit over there, a...
Yes, that applies for all the people who have applied since last June. And that the court case has been adjourned doesn't help either. I just arranged for my wife to fly back to her home country for a nice long vacation and have asked my company for a transfer to the UK. Quite strange, as we like to...
microlab... unfortunately they can since they implemented the new rules on the 1st of June last year. My wifes application was turned down a few weeks ago based on the fact that we haven't lived in another EU state before. Currently we are in the appeal stage, but since the court case has been adjou...
Yeah, that is the issue at the moment. A lot of people on this board have the same problem. Unfortunately the high court case has not been decided on last friday, and had been adjourned until the middle of June. According to Solvit they will continue to process the applications now, but based on the...
Looking at the High Court website: http://courts.ie/legaldiary.nsf/8e97b098452f0d9180256dc2004f82e0/76892a56b779073b802572c90048e206?OpenDocument this must be the case (if the 27th is the correct date) IN COURT 16 Mr Justice Charleton At 1000 o'clock 2005 1050JR A V MINISTER FOR JUSTIVE EQUALITY & L...
Hi Guys, considering that the judgement on the High Court Case will be made on friday what do you think how long it will take the Justice Department to implement the changes (if the court rules in "our" favour)? I guess about two months. they will probably wait for the written Judgement, then it wil...
Hi Static, the Fax Number is 01-6167850. Good luck. That was the only thing that worked for us. We got our passports back within days of sending a fax.
Static wrote:Does anybody have the fax number? Thanks for the information.. tried to find the number but I must be missing it.
Hello Sahil, the Judgement in the pending High Court Case is scheduled for this friday. If they agree with the Justice Departments Interpretation, then we will have to start worrying. But until then we cannot really do anything. My wife got the same letter about 3 weeks back. The one thing I would d...
That somehow doesn't always work. We tried it several times, but they won't issue a re-entry permit until the EU1 application has been processed. I think most people here hope they will get a decission soon. But as you probably already found out, the 6 months timeline doesn't work. Loads of people o...
I have been living here for slightly more then 6 years. We are now married for just under year. We were engaged for a long time, but as my wife's familiy (rightly) insited that she would finish her Executive Master Degree first we had to wait with the wedding. Before we got married she had been here...
Platinum, that's exactly what I asked them on friday as well. Of course they didn't have a response to that. They just said they might have to open up another procedure if that interpretation holds up in court. I have been living in Ireland for more then 6 years. But a confirmation of the current in...
Here the letter we received today: No, doesn't look like it to me. Dear Ms...., I am directed by the Minister of Justice, Equality and Law Reform to refer to your application for residence under the provisions of the European Communities (Free Movement of persons)(No.2) Regulations, 2006, which was ...
No, doesn't look like it to me. Please see below the letter I received: Dear Ms...., I am directed by the Minister of Justice, Equality and Law Reform to refer to your application for residence under the provisions of the European Communities (Free Movement of persons)(No.2) Regulations, 2006, which...
I am at work atm, but as far as I can see they refer in their letter to a Paragraph that is not in the official "European Communities (Feee Movement of Persons) (No.2) Regulations 2006" Documentation that they publish on their own website. So they must have added it at a later stage. And this added ...
Just to keep you updated. We just got a response from the Department of justice. My wifes EU1 application was rejected on the basis that we have not lived together in another EU country before living in Ireland. Wife read the letter to me, and I will put a copy up here later. According to the letter...
