scrudu, Please let the ''sleeping dog lie''.Conscience is the best judge. The ROI have enjoyed so much benefits from the EU Funds and have no moral reason(s) to toy with the EU citizens and their families living in Ireland.There is no sense issuing a Re-entry when the person in question has got a re...

Archigabe, Great efforts in explaining the bases of EU citizen's residence rights in the ROI. It is a shame that the Irish government and her supporters are flawing the EU directives. The best option for right thinking mind is general disobedience to their transposed version of the directive.A pract...

I do appreciate your efforts to put up your opinion which indeed John have already given a good advice/direction which is within the obit of the Law-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_nationality_law#Descent_from_a_Dutch_parent The issue of asylum seekers need not arise in this case.You should be aw...

If you were born before 1 January 1985 outside the Netherlands as the legitimate, legitimated or acknowledged child of a non-Dutch father and a Dutch mother, you are not a Dutch national by birth. At the time, under the terms of the Netherlands Citizenship and Residence in the Netherlands Act 1892,...

The airlines are aware of the directives.For the Garda,allow them to swim in the big ocean of ignorance and at the end of the day your wife will be allowed into the state. Here is the example.... DIrective 2004/38/EC makes travelling easier for family members who previously had to have an entry visa...

Try and put in your appeal before you travel to Sweden.Your wife can actually travel with you back to Ireland without a visa provided you have marriage certificate during the trip(according to Directive 2004/38/EC).The EU law is very straight forward that you may not need a lawyer to fight EU1 appea...

After 6 months waiting for d-visa and 7 month waiting for eu1, today my wife received a negative response to her eu residency application. It's the usual "applicants must submit lawful residence in another EU Member State prior to arrival" They also write "According to our records, you were origina...

My wife is legally resident in the UK, she has 9 months left on her 2 year marriage visa, she filled in the application form as a spouse and I accompanied her to the application centre where they asked for letters from her employer etc etc, even though I gave them a copy of our marriage certificate...

I'm British and have a non EU spouse, I submitted an application for a visa to the Belgium embassy, they made me fill in the boxes that I shouldn't have to fill in for dates etc, basically they wanted to know every detail about our movement, personal details, means of support etc etc, I wasn't very...

I will give inputs in two folds. Firstly, the EU directive article 5(4) specifies that " Where a Union citizen, or a family member who is not a national of a Member State, does not have the necessary travel documents or, if required, the necessary visas, the Member State concerned shall, before turn...

You are right.Talk talk talk no action=no result. There was a meeting arranged by Static at a time,but nothing happened.Statistics was collected at a time,nothing happened. Bear in mind not all members are involved with the so called EU1.You can take the initiative,contact(PM) the list on the statis...

You can go to Pakistan and get married(the marriage must be legally recognised).Then you can lodge a new application and withdraw the appeal.
Based on the applicant previous history,appeal might not be the easy route.
No comment on Your immigration consultant advise.

walrusgumble, Its a great efforts presenting case laws to butress your case.But the cases have to be brought to context. Firtsly,the legality of the Irish transposition of the Directive 2004/38/EC especially artcle3(2).Which is not in line with the original EU commission text. Secondly,the denial of...

Girl, Are you sure you are ready for marriage at your age. Also don't you want a guy who is able to support you. What if you have kids. I would think carefully about what you are doing. As an Albanian I am sure he is a very nice guy, however are you sure you aren't just blinded by love in this inst...

John,thanks for the intervention.Such antagonistic approach to deficiency drive people underground,its very typical of our modern day society.

The required documents are specified on the form(EEA1&2).
I am sure you have all that is required.

a 2 simple questions here so please do not attack, simply answer does any other eu country allow non eu people, who are in that country but who is not legally entitled do reside there (and possibly had been informed of a proposal to deport them,) and during the time in that country marry an eu citi...

[quote="BigAppleWoodenShoe"]To the first question: Whatever you decide to do when you are in a country illegally cannot be used to force anything. So when you are in a country illegally and you do get married, you have to re-apply for residency, which would sometimes mean you have to go back to your...

Its very sad that people are prophesing what they know little or nothing about.Marriage of an EU citizen to non EU and applying for a residence permit has got nothing to do with legal or Illegal of the non EU. the popular Belgium case and the European Commission v Spain: C-157/03 expressely state- '...

runie80, Your case is a lesson to the Irish government,athough they have no right to keep people stranded.Yet you can also make your own decision to run away from a society that is only interested in what they can get from you and not on your welfare. If expats are taking such a U turn decision,in t...

Good bye, Runie!!! I wish you the best of luck in England! You have really been helpful to me on this site, and I am sorry the conditions under which you are forced to leave. I must admit, I may be leaving by the end of the summer (if you can even call it that!). I am just shocked and appalled that...

OK, you continue to hang onto that straw, and I continue living my life ... And btw... I am still not convinced 8) There is no need to be confrontational,this forum is for sharing of valuable ideas.Equally,people may also learn from others practical/professional experience.The world is all about le...

I am not sure why so many people see the Jia case as important in the context of our situation. As far as I understand the Jia Case was about the residence permit for a non-eu parent of a non-eu spouse (who was legally resident in Sweden due to being married to a german citizen). I am not a legal e...

Sorry to be away for a while.Its sad that the long waited Kumar case went negative.Although i never expected anything from the case,especially when the bases of the case were not known.In any case the Jia case is still the clear route as far as the Irish article3(2) is concerned. I sincerely encoura...
