Stamp 4 EU FAM Renewal(Help needed)

[saj85]

Hi Everyone!
I was married nearly 5 years ago,and i got my stamp 4 eufam,because my wife was an EU National,she did stay in the Ireland for while worked here,but she never involved here in any employment or any other activity,as she was travelling here and back to her home country all the time to look after her parents,While i have been working all the time,throughout this time,never took any social welfare or any thing and never involved in any other activity.

I just would like to know,that when i will send my application to get my Stamp 4 EU Fam renewed,will i have any problem?because she was not working in Ireland?Or will it be Ok because i was working all the time and paying the tax and everything.

If someone who would have recently ,had their Stamp 4 EU FAM renewed,if they could please share any information which they had it will be very helpful of them.

With Regards
Saj

You have to be very careful .

for 5 years your wife never worked here. You got stamp because of your wife being an EU citizen.

I would suggest you to provide as much documentation as you can to the department.

For e.g,

if you have any bills under both names
tickets to prove that she was coming to ireland on regular basis to you
also that you are married and it is not a marriage of convinience

what i know that you should stay together for at least 3 years maybe some one can correct me if i am wrong

I think the 3 subject applies to a couple that has resided together after marriage for three years before separating.

But on the interim, the applicant need to demonstrate to the department of justice how and why the wife found herself in that case scenarios.

What are you quoting Ireland has indefinite leave to remain for immigrant ? Maybe for program refugee from Kosovo in those days i have never heard of that. The least residency they'll give you is 5 years and last they issued to IBC is 3 years no more no less.

Where is your wife now and what is she doing? Are you still together?

Where is your wife now and what is she doing? Are you still together?

Why are you asking again, when the person has already explained earlier.

I will say Mensa et thoro.

Where is your wife now and what is she doing? Are you still together?

This is a question for saj85. It is unclear from the original post

[saj85]

Where is your wife now and what is she doing? Are you still together?

She is back in her country at the moment,not living with me.

Chap above is looking to continue his EUFAM4 without his EU spouse exercising her treaty rights, but the bigger fishy is that she is in and out of the state due to her domestic circumstances that can go against the applicant as she is not resident in the state proper. I quoted the Irish state's policy with a clear link, go read it and familiarize yourself with basic immigration in EU/Ireland, also indefinite leave to remain is a british term sunshine never heard of in the Irish republic. Program refugees from Kosovo? I haven't a clue what you on about here. IBC that is over in 2005 if I recall. The above EU stamp (i think) and WCATT is until the expiry of the applicant's non-eu passport wether the non-eu passport is valid for 5 years or 10 years.

It sounds like you will have a difficult application. Worth reading http://eumovement.wordpress.com/2011/05 ... a-citizen/ for some background. Not sure I can help.
