Ireland Spouse Visa - Non EEA National

[frafiq]

Hello,

I am on critical skills permit and my permit ends in first week of January 2017 (31 Dec 2016). I plan to apply for spouse visa in May 2015 and as it is stated on inis website that it normally takes 6 months to decide so I assume that my wife would be issued a visa in Nov 2015. Now the question which comes in my mind is would she be issued a visa at all or her application would be rejected because there would only be 2 months left in expiration of my permit and the visa is issued if one wants to stay in ireland for 3 months or longer as stated on inis website?

"If you wish to come to Ireland to reside for longer than 3 months with a family member who is an Irish citizen or who is permitted to reside in Ireland you can apply for a long stay (join family) single entry visa"

Note: I am a NON-EEA national. Permit started in January 2015.

Thanks
