Malika is correct. You need to be an Irish citizen for 3 years and married to your wife for that duration before she can apply for naturalisation as the spouse of an Irish national. Otherwise, the normal 5 year rule applies. I dont like people advising others wrongly, you do not need three years af...

I am not fully aware of the visa rules regarding American's. If I was to assume that they need to renew their permission to remain every year, then your wife would currently be undocumented. To regularise her status, you would have to apply to spouse of Irish national unit as Agniukas stated. Applic...

I understand that the EU1 form doesn't ask if you also hold an Irish citizenship but what is the Irish authorities view on dual Irish/EEA using their non-Irish EEA nationality? It is a case of "I don't tell, you don't ask, and I can get away with it?". In the UK, the EEA application forms specifica...

You can apply for a EUTR visa to enter Ireland as the spouse of an EU national, although this isn't really necessary as you are both in Northern Ireland and can just cross the border. Once in Ireland, you have an unconditional right to live here with your husband for 3 months, as per directive 2004/...

These principles are based on the Surinder Singh case.
