runie80, Your case is a lesson to the Irish government,athough they have no right to keep people stranded.Yet you can also make your own decision to run away from a society that is only interested in what they can get from you and not on your welfare. If expats are taking such a U turn decision,in t...

Good bye, Runie!!! I wish you the best of luck in England! You have really been helpful to me on this site, and I am sorry the conditions under which you are forced to leave. I must admit, I may be leaving by the end of the summer (if you can even call it that!). I am just shocked and appalled that...

OK, you continue to hang onto that straw, and I continue living my life ... And btw... I am still not convinced 8) There is no need to be confrontational,this forum is for sharing of valuable ideas.Equally,people may also learn from others practical/professional experience.The world is all about le...

I am not sure why so many people see the Jia case as important in the context of our situation. As far as I understand the Jia Case was about the residence permit for a non-eu parent of a non-eu spouse (who was legally resident in Sweden due to being married to a german citizen). I am not a legal e...

Sorry to be away for a while.Its sad that the long waited Kumar case went negative.Although i never expected anything from the case,especially when the bases of the case were not known.In any case the Jia case is still the clear route as far as the Irish article3(2) is concerned. I sincerely encoura...

...Community law does not require Member States to make the grant of a residence permit to nationals of a non-Member State, who are members of the family of a Community national who has exercised his or her right of free movement, subject to the condition that those family members have previously b...

This a floodgate for people in same situation to send petitions to the Petition committee.It does no harm,but more to your favour.

As i ever spot out in my posts,appeal the decision and you may have claims for delays in decision and lost of earnings.The European parliament petition made this correspondence- Summary of petition The petitioner, who is a Polish national and who has resided lawfully in Ireland since 2004, complains...

Well the Jia case is still standing without further challenge.
No ranting today,but the Irish should what is right.Remember in all her refusal decision,there in no mention of removal or to leave the country.If they do,Article 8 will challenge such action.

The issue in the directive in question has no relevance to spouse/family member of an EU national.Its centred on the rights of third country national legally residing within the EC member states and their family unification. The cases of members of this forum is derived from Directive 2004/38/EU. I...

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...

In a previous post,i said people should not relie on thie Kumar when we don't know the full summary of his/her case.Cases are treated on individual basis on its own merit.Remember,Akrich was having poor immigration history.Do we know the immigration history of Kumar ?

microlab,

Thanks for your opinion.
Its good to rant at least for once as a solidarity for those struggling in the hands of the DoJ.

Write HO a letter with your queries.

BigAppleWoodenShoe : I know this topic relates to non-EU marriages to EU citizens and their residence problems in Ireand. Joe80 asked a question though, and he is in a different situation to you all. Perhaps we should move his question to another post to as not to cause confusion. This forum is for...

Birdy,

Now that it has come to this level,don't forget to collect your tax back before you leave.

This not an issue of side taking.But is all about what is equitable and fair,especially when it affects people's life.
Lets wait and see what the court says.

As for proving your relationship before you get here. Yes, but I'm guessing that now that as a Spousal Visa application for non-EU spouses of EU (not Irish) citizens, is now quite similar to a Tourist Visa, i.e. it does not afford residence rights (only the initial 3 months), nor does it allow the ...

scrudu, I bluntly disagree on some of your points and sympathy for the DoJ.The system is a complete failure and ineffecient public administration.The EU commission clearly set out in a 2002 Communication from the Commission and is also implicit in Article 11 of Regulation 1612/68/EEC,the rights of t...

walrusgumble,
I can't understand the defence you are putting on here.Educated guess suggests,its all off track.Thanks for your contributions any way.

Well I got married to a EEA citizen in 2002 and in 2005 I applied for EEA family permit to live in the UK and I have my visa finally but my family is still in Turkey and especially my brother is struggling to live there. I did not want to include my personal details when explaining the situation. S...

Well,just allow the Irish(government) to remain in a paradise of ignorance. A recent case in the UK was ruled againt the UK immigration services-COA is an impediment to marriage(Article 12 ECHR).If the Irish are planning a new Immigration bill that will compel people to report intention to marry to ...
