Thank you for your advice and prompt response. I hope to travel to Dublin to take some professional exams etc. However, as I came to the UK with a visit visa which expired many years ago, I now have a new passport without any stamp on it. This explains why I am asking all these questions. Believe it or not, I had passed the exams in UK, but was prevented from getting registered by my professional body on grounds of discrimination ( age & non-EU ). I can`t fight the institution legally ( no money plus illegal status ), so I am examining the possibility of getting Ireland`s registration and using it to work in UK. This is after I must have got ILR. EU law require all member states to recognise the certificates of all member states etc.
Put another way, my kind advisers are not aiding me in doing anything illegal. I am not an al-quaida muslim fanatic or some body who is ready to destroy other people who don`t follow their religion etc. I am a simple gentleman who overstayed due to discriminatory practices in UK and who just want an avenue to complete his professional training etc.
Thank you.
Here is a tip for you, make an application for the relevant visas in order to enter legally the relevant jurisdictions.
No doubt you are very intelligent and smart and passed the exams but you did not update your legal status in the EU. Sorry to point this out, but the EU is not an open shop, quotas etc are in place. So you should not expect people to help you out when you are tyring to cut corners and trying to take the place of other legal non eu people or worse, EU citizens
THe issue of the EU must recongise all ILR? You don't fall into EU law, unless you are a citizen or married/related to a Citizen. You fall within UK immigration laws which in this instance EU have no power to interfere with as the same with Ireland. So what do you mean by that statement?
Why are you bring up the "al-quaida muslim fanatic or some body who is ready to destroy other people who don`t follow their religion etc" statement for? That is your business. If anyone put that to you that would be dearly beloved. No one did. For all we know, you could be a white Christian American, it's none of our business. Don't tell me ye are now putting on the persecutionary complex. Anytime someone is preceived to act prejudice to you , you shout dearly beloved?
Your background has got nothing to do with it. You overstayed in the UK. No doubt you maybe a lovely person, but you are now in breach of UK immigration laws, Why should another EU state reward you. You entered the Uk on the basis that once you do the exams you would leave the UK. You don't meet their criteria for the regulations as there is no need for you as the country is entitled to reserve spaces for their own and other EU's. No different anywhere else. Your option is to try and see can you get sorted in another country, legally.
What discriminatory practices? THe UK is entitled to make sure their own people and then other EU people are looked after first. So will be glad to know that there will be many British people of your religion etc so that issue is moot. When there is shortage of workers, then they will seek out people from non EU states. Before you spout about discriminatory practices, look at your own country first. Can you complete your profession in your own country by the way? What about other states?
I am sure that you know that the 26 counties is a different jurisdiction to the UK and Northern Ireland. You will hardly get a spot prize for pointing out that if you set foot in the 26 counties without proper papers, you are liable to arrest. You will also be expected to show your papers to the Irish examination boards before sitting the exams. The other posters are basicially saying, "ah ye come on over, you will not get caught, you will be grand"
(the rubbish great escape).
