A sage indeed! You certainly don't merit being called a sage or come close to one @ all. I'll ignore you because every time "sane people" argue with foolish sages, they beat them with their foolish experience all of the time! Nuff said! Considering (A) You know nothing about immigration and asylum ...
There is someone I know who came in with a visitor's visa over 1 year ago and has overstayed with a view to working out a way to stay here in Ireland in some shape, manner or form :roll: . This person has sought my opinion in confidence as to how to become a documented / legal resident and I have g...
I’m writing as I really need your help. My husband application has been refused (eea family member) as we did not provided his divorce certificate. Now here is the problem and facts: • He was married to an irish girl back in 2002 • They lived only 2 month together after that he went back to his hom...
i wonder how often 'immigration for dummies!' get updated with irrelevant stuff I bet there is an internal dept memo somewhere... 'immigration for dummies!' With the exception of cases actually involving EU law, and if these Non EU people are NOT applying for asylum, how can the refusals being wron...
Thanks for the comprehensive reply walrusgrumble! Just two follow-up questions: 1) How do they calculate exactly how much time you spend outside Ireland since there are no exit stamps given in Dublin airport, only entry stamps? Do they have a system of information they receive from airlines? 2) I'm...

New figures from the Department...
Ok back again, my partner has permanent residency in Spain, he has been there over 10 years. The exercising treaty rights has me quite confused. By just going to Spain is that exercising or would I need to be there for any amount of time? At the moment, it's really out of the question but no harm i...
we know your an ex tea boy from the DOJ but since when on this earth did you need to adopt your own family members. If there was no blood relation, and they just wanted to be good and kind, I agree an adoption process must be followed. That this uncle and aunt mentioned that they would like to adop...
Dear all, I have been living in Ireland since 2001 as a student status. I was then employed and obtained my stamp 1 since January 2007. By February 2010, I was made redundant and I applied for stamp 4 based on my relationship to an unmarried partner of 5 years (Irish citizen). I got my stamp 4 stat...
i think the best is wait for another 1 months .also make sure check the residence stamps in residence calcultar That would only work if the "missing days" were 12 months ago. And then I wouldn't bother posting the question if we just had to wait another month. The missing days were in the middle of...
look up "permitted family members" in SI 656 of 2006 The reason for comparison is to highlight the unjust and morally bankrupt behaviour of the DOJ. hope their conscience stings this Christmas. Look, many children are rared by family members who are not parents, for many reasons, such as Grandparen...
You are correct, he is only a resident of Spain. He holds no citizenship in any EU countries. I can not at the present time go and live in Spain. Without going into too much detail, I suffered a lot of post birth complications with my daughter and some of which I still suffer with today. We current...
Thanks IQU, we have a solicitor through the Immigrant Council since June this year. They are a fantastic organization and I strongly urge anyone with immigration issues to contact them. At the moment our case is being forwarded to council for consideration. We also have a couple of more options whi...
Oh yes we will be taking it up. I am an Irish Citizen, my child is an Irish Citizen. Adlexy I took the same from the ruling as you. Both me and my father took from the letter that they would rather us all in Spain too. Can you imagine even trying to get him a visitor visa considering he has over st...
As is usual in these type of scenario, they make it unnecessarily ambiguous. I thought the essence of the Zambrano ruling is that ultimately, the family stays together, especially where the child want to stay or deemed to want to stay by the parent? So what is the point they are trying to make? Tha...
Sorry, wrote the last post in a temper lol. I meant how can we get money for flights to travel back and forth to Spain for the kids to see there father, (also my partner). I cannot work at the moment due to complications in pregnancy and our first child is only 9months old. Just received the letter...
HI guys , just some few questions please. I am a family member of an Irish citizen. ( dual citizen, british/ irish).We reside in belfast. I like to know if I will require a visa to visit ROI. and what DOCUMENTS I have to get to make me eligible to work in ROI. I have a UK residence permit that was ...
This is what happens. http://www.immigrantcouncil.ie/news-bulletin/2008/209--ici-news-bulletin-issue-32 The Immigrant Council of Ireland has written to the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, asking him to investigate the unlawful detention of an Irish citizen on “immigration grounds” on...
Just like a Chinese national, who was naturalised today? Yesterday he was clearly Chinese, and today after the ceremony, god! The difference! ;) Legally, yes. Did the Chinese National who naturalised today get stopped by the police? Did he get arrested and detained? Link with that? Ok, I know what ...
Ok, this is the point at which I suggest we should all go outside and have a tea and enjoy the sunshine (??) and fresh air (??). The law, as written, is misleading and is bound to be incorrectly enforced. Suing the police is an option for very few people. I certainly would not want to do it. Learn ...
If the adoption is not recognised, these kids are still blood, nieces if nothing else If they had been nieces of EU citizens, would Tom Russell and the Dept of Justice been forced to issue the visas ? Under EU directive 2004/38/EC and Irish SI 656 of 2006 , the answer is yes. Under Irish Law SI 656...
Hi walrusgumble, I guess now we´re on one page and sort-of agreeing on things. However, one more thing: ...that the Commission had quickly responded to your post... Do you mean "quickly" as in "the reply is short" (I´d agree, it´s 1 page not much more than what I wrote), or "quickly" as in "they we...
Instead of answering point by point, I´ll give you a summary. First of all I am not (and never was) talking about carrying ID while travelling, I am talking about carrying ID in everyday-life , such as when commuting from home to work, going for shopping or taking the dog for a walk around the bloc...
It is a very nice escape clause attached to the end of the Irish ID law. Technically it covers the requirements of EU law, but ... It had to exclude situations concerning EU law, or it would be a breach of EU law and the op would be entirely justified. No different with other countries. The reality...
