I had thought about that but don't want to spend the money if we don't know the outcome. So my partner and I had decided to go to the US to marry, and have a reception here. I was actually more worried about telling my partners parents, they were really looking forward to a family wedding and not ev...
Ok I am in a bit of a panic so I hope my post is coherent. My partner (Irish citizen) and I (American citizen) had applied to marry at the registry office in Dongeal. We had our in person appointment about 2 weeks ago to give all our documentation etc. I was previously married in the US and divorce ...
Hi Maurox, First you might want to check and make sure you sent in the correct form. After receiving the family permit, I think the next form for her to have sent in would have been the EEA2. I'm not really sure about the timeframe, it seems to vary. They usually never give you any other info other ...
Clairey, I think the initial EEA family permit is good for 6 months. He would then apply for a residence permit from within the UK within that 6 month period and that residence permit is good for 5 years. After the 5 years, he then applies for permanent residence (akin to ILR) and 1 year after that ...
I'm afraid that I can't answer all of your questions, but I do know that you cannot marry your partner in the UK. She would need a Certificate of Approval to marry from the Home Office and would not be able to get it due to her status. An option would be to marry in Brazil and apply for a spousal vi...
I would think that as the spouse of an EU citizen you would qualify for an EEA family permit, which grants you residence as a family member of EU citizen exercising treaty rights in the UK. I'm not sure of the particulars of switching from work permit to EEA family permit, but I'm sure someone much ...
As far as I know, you can still claim anything you are entitled to as a British citizen, but your husband would have to be able to support himself. I know many people that are married to non-British citizens and the British spouse claims for things like tax credits, child benefit etc. Your husband a...
Thanks for the additional info. My partner has been in NI since Oct. 2004 and was residing in NI when she was born. I only recently found out how to go about reporting her birth to the consulate and getting her an American passport and have started that process. With regards to British/Irish citizen...
Thanks for all the info. We're planning on getting married in Donegal. Easy to meet the requirement as we are in Derry and can stay in Donegal and my partner can just commute to work for the 7 days or however long. We aren't going for the UK visa for a couple of reasons. First, my overstay would be ...
Civil marriages are solemnised in the office of a Registrar of Civil Marriages (click here for fees). Persons wishing to have a civil marriage must serve notice upon the Registrar of the district in which they reside. If the parties intending marriage reside in different districts, notice must be se...
Thanks for the links. I still have a couple of questions so I'll give you a brief background of my situation. I'm American, partner is Irish. I came over summer of 2004 on a 90 day Irish visa waiver, was going to stay with a friend in Northern Ireland til partner and I had permanent accommodation in...
Hi, I have been trying to find out the requirements for marrying in Ireland. I have been to the appropriate government sites and it seems a bit confusing. My biggest probelem is the residency requirements for marriage license/certificates are confusing and I can't find what documentation they need t...
