We appealed the decission and also filed a complaint with th european commission. In addition to that I wrote emails to all the Justice Speakers of the different parties and regsitered letters to the old and new justice minister. None the less we decided to leave Ireland and to relocate to the UK. T...
AFAIK it currently takes 4-5 years to get Irish citizenship. A colleague of mine applied and he is curently in waiting year 3 and was recently told that he should expect to be waiting for at least another 18 months.
I think even the EU1 route will be quicker in the end.
Yes, I am sitting on packed boxes as well. Might even return in a year or so, because then I will have lived somewhere else within the EU with my wife. Still very strange...
Hi together, I thought this might fit in here as well. It appears to be true that the court has decided in favour of the Justice Department in the Kumar Case. I just got the following response from Solvit: **************** The Irish SOLVIT Centre understands that the Court has decided in favour of t...

# EU-Country of worker: Germany # Non-EEA country of spouse: Thailand # Date of application for residence card for spouse: 01.

My wifes (not in Brazil) was done on the spot. On their website they state that they try to process them within 24 hours. But it might take 3 to 4 days in some cases. Probably depends how busy the embassy is.
I doubt he will be sitting in his office the day after he became Justice Minister. He will probably meet his new department heads and the other cabinet ministers first.
I guess first of all these Infos have to be confirmed by another source. And then people have to decide for themself if they wanna fight their way through the courts or if they wanna leave. If this Information is true, the there are not many more options right now. Archibgabe... I also sent a formal...
The thing is that not everyone has the will or even the money to go through the courts to fight for his rights. So we have to rely on these court cases. And in the context of the EU regulation it shouldn't really matter what the history was. It seems Kumars case was the one everyone was waiting for,...
BTW., Ireland has a new Justice Minister since today. So it might be time for each of us to fire off an email to inform him about this unacceptable situation. If enough people complain he might have a look into it. You never know. I already did that. He has his own website, and on there is his email...
I studied in germany and never had to pay a cent. AFAIK studying in germany is still free. You only have to pay if you exceed the average time it takes to finish your degree, i.e. you are in your fifth year of a degree that's usually done in 3 years. Then they charge seomting like 1000 euro per seme...
No, I don't believe that's the case we are looking for. I guess we will just have to wait and see until tomorrow. If there really is another Irish Case (and Solvit and the Immigrationcouncil seem to indicate that firmly) then the postponement of the other case makes sense. The Judge wants to wait fo...
As far as I know today is only the hearing, and not a decission yet. The Judge has 4 cases to hear today (between 11 and 5), and this case seems to be the last on the list. That means we most likely won't get an update anytime soon. Even if the decission gets our way I wouldn't expect the DOJ to iss...
I don't want to dent anyones hopes, but remember that you need a formal job offer, and that the employer needs to support the Work Permit application. Unfortunately a lot of companies are not prepared at all to go through this. Very often as soon as companies hear the word work permit they are not i...
That's just a list of all the the EU directives that have to be implemented by the justice Department. They relate to different things, not only the EU1 procedure. As you can see the relevant one to our cases was implemented in April 2006, but unfortunately wrongly (in our opinion) implemented, as w...
Didn't Solvit say the decission was due on the 8th? ~They should know best. Please see also Statics Info from Solvit: http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=16149 I think the Information regarding the 15th was a chicken up somewhere along the line. enjoy anyway... and be aware of your duty...
Still very strange...
