Ravi I hurd that to prove you guys have spent time together.. such things as pictures of days out, wedding pictures and things like that could be helpfull
I would like to get my hubby over and southdubliner thank you for the info its really helpful.
1. I was wondering if maybe you also know exactly how much i need to be earning?
2. I work a permanent part-time job at the moment so will that be enough as long as I have enough money sitting in my account? or shall i get a full time job? Bearing in mind that i was working partime for the company i currently work for for nearly a year but i had to give up the job to go and live in Pak with my husband for roughly 2months and then when i came back they offered me my job back. Will this work history help with my case. If i used my old payslips to prove my good working history with the company will it be relevant?
I would be really great full for your help as I really don't know who to talk to and i've been told solicitors cost alot of money jus to give advise!
thanks you x [/list]
The process of getting spouse visa is simple and straightforward.
I think I've already put the list of all the relevant documents in my earlier post.
As far as point 8 is concerned, that baffled me too but thats exactly what they asked from one of my friends and his reply was the same as Ravi's, that we simply do not spend time together before marriage and Dept of Justice accepted that reply.
There is no set amount of money required or mentioned in any application form but rule of thumb is that you should have enough money in your account to sustain both of you for at least 6 months in Ireland.
You need pay slips of last 3 months to prove that you are in employment (I m not sure about full time or part time will make any difference)
You really do not need solicitor for application or appeal in case of rejection. They rejected visit visa of my mother once and I had a lengthy telephonic conversation with visa office in Dublin and they issued visa on the same day so no need to be afraid of them.
But, make sure every thing they ask for should be given and all the supporting evidence is genuine and authentic.
Best of Luck
