Been living in Ireland from 2 December 2011, with my wife and I have been in full time employment since 20 December 2011. Wehnwe...

Hi everyone. Just trying to get some information together for future reference. Quick background. I am a UK citizen, married to NON-EU national. After a visit visa refusal to the UK (they did not believe she would return home after visit) I moved to Ireland and got a job. Been here and working since...

Does the dependency have to be in the old country or the new one? I'm a little confused.

Well the letter of invitation (from my wife inviting me to Azerbaijan)for the visit visa for Azerbaijan states that I would be living at that address. This was supplied to the Azerbaijan Embassy in London.

Could this help in anyway?

No. nothing. I was going for the long hall but then decided to come here.

Going to be a tough one.

Thanks guys. Good reading material.

Adlexy. What did they say in the refusal for the mother-in-law?

How can one provide proof that we stayed under the same roof in Azerbaijan?

What I was thinking was sending western union payments of say 200euro every month for the next 5/6 months and keeping the dockets as proof off dependency? I don't know if this would suffice or if she should simply go down the general visitor category with family ties for reasons to visit. Things tha...

To confirm - If you are Irish, you cannot bring your NON-EU spouse to ireland without a visa using the EU Directive/2004/38/EC. This is only applicable to other member states of the EU but not your own "home" country. For example. British (UK) national wishing to visit Ireland with NON-EU spouse. IF...

We got ours in 5 days (including postage to and from the embassy). You only need yours and your wife's passport and your marriage certificate. If not in English this...

I think you have to apply from your country where you are. If you could take a holiday to Turkey, I think you may be able to apply if you are actually in that country. Ankara issued the visa the day they received the application. It only took 5 days for me because we had to send our application from...

Don't worry about it going over 3 months. I know it does get stressful and nonsense runs round you head but it's really not a problem. Your husband has a right to be staying in the state whilst his Residence Card application is being processed. We submitted my wife's Residence Card application on 3 ...

Being employed there are deductions from your wages (PRSI deductions I think). I presume they are deductions like in the UK for national health services.

As I am paying into this, I am paying into the country so I don't think we would be classed as being a burden to the country.

Solvit, on the basis that the Irish authorities have endorsed your wife's passport with a stamp that causes to strip her of her right to work. However, practically speaking, you've been promised temporary stamp 4 next week, so by the time the Solvit case is opened it will be closed again. Do you th...

I provided proof of address with 2 letters from the bank and 1 letter from the revenue. Also, my contract from work states my address.

They also returned the documents to the address which we received? How does this proof different from the additional, not required documents?

INIS are not entitled to ask for various proof. The only thing you have to prove is that you are exercising your treaty rights buy providing contract of employment. There is no requirement to supply rent books, rental agreements, utility bills pay slips etc etc. I could be living as a traveler in a ...

Yes - She simply put a stamp in her passport, to make the type C visit visa extend from 1.5 months to the full 3 month term. We arrive on 2 December 2011 and it should have been stamped then until 2 March 2012 but the guy only done it to 15 January 2012 so she has just made it to 2 March 2012.
