If the op was saying, eg 2 years relationship with at least 1 year - 1 1/2 years co habiting and maybe eg a child, then my fears would not arise But one could argue that time spent in a relationship, not living together, was still in a durable relationship. Just because we didnt rush into living to...

She said that Ireland's tranposition of the directive says we have to be living together for 2 years :( And she said also another thing that might be a problem is that I have never lived in Britain and the directive is based...

Hi Koded I would say write them a letter explaining how and where your marriage took place and why the embassy has stamped it. In relation to the other info. Is your wife paid weekly? If so, submit her payslip with that letter. If not explain that she has not been paid yet as you have only been here...

Contact your local TD and ask them to write to DOJ asking for an update of the case and to remind them that by law they have to give you an answer within 6 months. You could also quote the recent case by John Tagni, who won against Minister for Justice, for not processing the application within the ...

I wasnt aware of an EU Treaty Rights office in Cork, but even if there was, it's way to far for me to travel just to enquire on the status of my application.

Guess i'll wait til Monday and see if they post anything to me, if not, i'll head back into Burgh Quay and take a number.

Thanks guys :)
