Do you plan to move back to the UK now? You should be aware that the HO is raising the post to make it more difficult to do a quick SS route so if you were planning to return home in the near future, make use of this EEA FP. As you applied under the old rules you will stay under the old rules for ...

Good news, my wife eventually received her EEA FP today after 11 working days waiting. We will go back to the UK this week. We do appreciate to all who helped us.

Thank you jambo and dotsystem

according to visa processing times , it doesn't take more than 1-2 weeks. Note that decisions for applications in Dublin nowadays are taken in the UK so your application is forwarded to them for a decision. I don't see a reason for a refusal. There is no news of my wife's EEA family permit ...

The Irish visa people will have no idea about UK entry requirements. Do not listen to them.

Focus just on entry of your spouse into Ireland.

Thank you pal. Yes, I am a British citizen living and self employed working in Dublin.

The question is if its legality that the appeal dismissed by the different reasons or concerns rather than the original one. For instance, we appeal to challenge a refusal reason A, which is noted in the refusal letter. But the appeal dismissed by the reason B. Is it legality? This is just a ...

I would like to know what documents apart from bank statement can be satisfied with its concern? Invoices. And that's to answer a general question. You have not said in what capacity you work. Taxi drivers, market traders and ice cream vendors, for example, might not be emitting invoices. In which ...

I agree with you churada, INIS is increasingly not complying with the lex loci rule celebrations, time and again the high court has handed out judgement in this regard, Is it that the central office in Dublin makes no effort in training and informing their staffs on new laws to avoid this sort of ...

I married my wife in China too - but on the mainland. While I can understand that this might not seem appealing to you why not just divorce her over there and remarry? I can't claim to know how its done in Hong kong but on the mainland divorce can be done in minutes without the need for lawyers at ...

Have you tried to get advise from British embassy with regards to your particular situation? As far as the UK is concerned, you are married and do not have the capacity to remarry.

How long have you been living in Ireland? You become resident for marriage purpose on the start of the fourth year. If you are in Ireland less time than this before marriage you can appeal their decision on the basis of the fact that you were not ordinarily resident in Ireland at the time of the ...

Here's an idea. Your wife could apply for a normal visitor visa. On arrival, you go to a register office in Ireland and get married again. A married person cannot marry again. That's my point: they could marry again in Ireland because apparently they are deemed not to be married. If the registrar ...
