@ Monifé, so in the end you gave up the EU route and went down the Irish spouse route? I think that's what you've said. Yes and I regret listening to others (family and solicitors) about the EU route. I was quite young (22) and (most) of my family were against me marrying at that age, but it was pr...

I am dual Irish/British. Never lived anywhere other than the Republic of Ireland. We applied before the McCarthy case. I first applied for a permanent residence certificate which was approved. We then applied under EU treaty rights for my (then) partner/fiancé. After 4 and a half months of processin...

Your Irish citizenship does not confer any rights to siblings or ascendants. However, if you have an EU spouse and are entitled to the citizenship of his/her country, then you could make an application under EU treaty rights, although there are a number of rules attached to sibling applications and ...

We used Karen Berkeley of Brophy Solicitors as well and would recommend her.

You can apply to have him added to your jobseeker's benefit claim as an adult dependent. This can be backdated to when his work hours were reduced. When your jobseekers benefit finishes, you will have to apply for jobseekers allowance - this is means tested against his income, so he will be on that...

Flatpack, if you go ahead with the Spouse of an Irish National Application, you will be waiting a further 9-12 months. A better option will be to put a little bit more pressure on the Repat to issue your Zambrano permission. I would send in another letter with a whole tranche of up to date document...

It will work if the person was born a German national (in Germany) and moved to Ireland, and after that, obtained Irish citizenship.

He has to be living in (the Republic of) Ireland with you for 3 years in order to be eligible to apply for Irish citizenship.
