Hey everyone :) I am a Canadian national who has been in a relationship with a Dane for a while now, living with him since around April 2009 (so going on 3 years now). The relationship is well documented (tax reports, utility bills, etc.), as I knew this could could come in handy as an internationa...

Hi All, I have a question, and your expert advise is needed. Here is the back ground: I am holder of 4EUFam card which is going to expire later this year. I was married in Ireland in 2006 and got divorced in Poland in 2011 and got my 4EUFam card retention exercising my own treaty rights. My Questio...

Irisheddy, Can you tell me what you mean ? She was on socilal, lost a job, now she is back to full employment, been working 6 out of last 7 years. Why would that matter if she was entitled to it while looking for a job ? Any link you have ? For Irish Citizenship, you should not have claimed social ...

If within the last 3 years, then yes.

Hence PR might be relevant

Hi: I need some advise with this issue! Last week my husband got refused his residency under EU1 because according to them he did not provide for evidence of identity. They waited until the last day of the application process to tell us this. When we submitted the application 6 months ago, we sent ...

I read elsewhere on this forum about an Indian doctor who was turned down for citizenship for the exact same offence. It does seem unfair when you consider how common it is and how the guards turn a blind eye to it even when it is blatantly done in front of them. I actually thought the official pol...

Does any one know good lawyer who can represent me in this case . I heard if Lawyer informs about the situation the court may not convict but fine me to the court poor box or any charity If you get fined, you are convicted. Fine only concerns a sentence for the offence one is convicted. You may get...

relax, it was funny however.

It was not a ruling under Directive 2004/38EC, as the heading of your post might suggest, but rather under Article 41 of Irish constitution. I thought that the "reverse discrimination" situation arose from the statutory instrument transposing directive 38 into the Irish system. This appeared to cre...

I got court summons for breaking red light while cycling. If I plead guilty then will I have a record as traffic offence?Is this to be declared when filling citizenship application which asks have you committed traffic offence?. DO YOU HAVE ANY CONVICTIONS IN THE STATE OR ANY OTHER COUNTRY (INCLUDI...

On ours it was that my partner held Spanish Residency so our child would never have to leave the union basically. Not surprised that the Government would try that angle. It is perfectly arguable too in light of the specific facts and reasoning in Zambrano and the difference of attitudes in Dercei (...

Spouse not working?

When did they stop working? Why did they stop working? (I ask due to what the Directive says in those positions) Is spouse still living with you?

Hi everyone, can my in-laws and Irish friends be my referees for the application or does it have to be somebody who is not a relative or friend like employer or GP? Thanks in advance. Quick question, Do they actually call up the referees you list on your application? Afterall if they have referred ...

Further to the debate resulting from McCarthy 2011, has anyone noticed any differences in applying for an EEA Family Permit (and the resulting residence permit etc)? I am a dual citizen of both the UK and Ireland and plan to apply for an EEA Family Permit to bring my partner to Northern Ireland to ...

i think this is so that to show that your spouse as your dependant, has access to the funds that you hold. if you have a bank account and she has access to that bank account, that shows that she is your dependant, and you support her... that would be my thinking... Very valid point. But it can be e...

I'm British. Wife is non-EU. Want to apply for Residence Card on the basis that I'm exercising my EU Treaty Rights because I'm self-sufficient. However, just been informed by INIS that all my bank accounts should be held jointly in both my name and my spouse's name. Is this correct? This can't be r...

It depends on the situation. Did the offence and conviction happen before making the application, and if so, did he disclose that information? If he did not disclose that information, the refusal was justified. Failure to disclose is an automatic refusal However, very different story if the event ha...

Who the hell do you think you are to make a comment like that to someone you don't even know? Calm down, it is an Irish saying, it is not meant to offend anyone at all! In other words, now that you have Citizenship, do what you have to do to get that document and not be awaiting another 6 months fo...

At least you were married, so you have guardianship rights. I recommend, whether by court or formal agreement, preferably the latter (and she can confirm in a letter) that you ensure that you have regular access to the child. I would suggest that you pay maintenance, even if mother does not ask for ...

If u have a genuine case there is no risk taking legal proceedings,especially if you are within Ireland,sure few people outside the state were granted visa late last year/early this year,even non eu spouses of Irish citizen were granted visa early this year.Check visa decisions on their website for...

The Irish system doesn't lend itself to "class actions" in immigration cases. Most good solicitors will act for free or a small fee if they think the case has a fair chance of success, as they are likely to be awarded Costs from the Dept by the Court. The State is trying to restrict the amount of c...
