Hi all, I have been looking around some boards and websites and ended up confusing myself more than actually answering questions!! :? I am Irish, My GF is Brazilian, We are planning on getting married shortly. ( We will be getting married abroad, in the US). She currently has a study visa and works...

Thanks for your honest reply! Basically she can't apply for a visa at the Irish Embassy at the moment because she has no status presently, and she was sentence for 9 months. If you are applying for EEA family permit for UK then under EU rules you don't have to have the immigration status in any cou...

Basically she is from a "visa nation" and she doesn't hold a residence card issued for family members by an EU country. However we want to travel together although she doesn't have...

thanks for the response.... sorry let me rephrase it ... What i was trying to ask was,- what do INIS check as part of the application checks when the EU citizen is self-employed. I already know that if the EU citizen is employed they call the employer to verify. My question was what do they check i...

Thanks so much .. How do I know if do I need send anything else to them ? Hi, When you will receive the acknowledgement letter from EU Treaty Right Section they will inform you what document you need to send them.

I have applied for my visa around the end of feb. Just wanted to know for how long would I have to wait to get my visa. If anyone reading this have been in the same situation, how long did you have to wait until you got your spouse visa. Isn't there any way to get it faster? By the way i'm from pak...

Hi Guys, just a quick question regarding the on-line residency calculator. My friend is an EU CITIZEN since 2007 so he does not have a green book. What should he enter on the "stamp type" box? Also would they accept the application form without the residency calculator? If is not needed, should we ...

My husband, a non EU national was refused a Schengen Visa from the Belgian Embassy today in London.

My husband has had 4 previous Schengen ...

His spouse (EU citizen ) can move to Ireland and you friend has right to be with his spouse. EU citizen has to exercise their EU treaty rights...

Total tripe. That solicitor ought to read the rules a bit more. There's nothing the Irish Nationality and Citizenship Act that states that it's necessary to switch or otherwise be resident under "Irish National Law and spend 3 years on that". Notwithstanding the provisions of section 15, the Minist...

Thanks again for you reply. I think you are right. They could raise that issue that I don't have 3 years residence under Irish national law and I am still on EUfam. I hope someone else can shed some light on this one. I am also waiting for a e mail back from INIS. Thanks again for your time.

Regards,

Thank you for your reply.. I don't understand how its going to complicate anything? I just want to find out if I can apply now for after 1 and half years or may be 2.. If I can apply now I will save about year and half. I hope you know what I mean..
