renewal GNIB cart ( 6 month temporary)

[zaza7625]

Hi
I have a stamp 4 GNIB card due to my wife who is EU citizen and this card expires in June 2014.
We have 4 EU citizen children, one of them is irish. (if it is helpful)
I got my GNIB card from my wife as she was experiencing EU treaty rights.

I have 1 question:
From new year my wife doesn't work as she has lost her job but she (our family) is on the social welfare and she's getting social welfare payslips.
If she doesn't find a job until the June (when my card expires), will DOB issue EU4FAM for me even if my wife sends them social payslips? (accordingly she won't have a letter from work where must be hours worked out)

P.S
As I am a father of those children and we have marriage certificate with my wife I reckon that even if she doesn't find a job,DOB will take into account this situation. (that is my opinion)

thanks very much in advance

The fact that your wife is not working anymore could definitely be an issue for the EUTR section (you are supposed to be telling them about it, and even if you don't they might call the employer she provided to check her status).

I am not specialist in that area, but given the fact that you have EU/Irish children you should secure a residence card for you.

The problem I see is that you current application is based on your spouse exercising EU treaty rights, which she might not be (depending on how long she spent working in Ireland before becoming unemployed). I am not sure what the process is to applied based on your Irish child but I assume it is a different form to send to a different section of INIS (lets see if someone her can clarify).

I think the best thing would be to make sure whether she is considered as exercising Treaty Rights or if she can find another job quickly; in which case you aer fine. But otherwise you might have to submit another application based on your children.

For how long have you and her been in Ireland, and can you give a bit more details about her periods of employment and unemployment?

Hi Jeupsy.
Thank you for your reply.
We have arrived in ireland in september 2013 and soon after my wife started work. She used to work almost 3 months and during her employment I have applied for my card which was issued successfully.In 16 of december she lost the job.
Not very long ago, about a week ago she found another job and she submitted her P45 to new job, but We don't know whether she continues working or not as work is night shift and it is very awkward struggling with 4 children on my own. That's a story i am sharing, you asked me.
Even If i apply due to my irish child, I don't know would I be issued another card or not. In this case i have to refuse for this card (from my wife) in order to apply as a parent of irish child. If no card issued out of my child and I refuse for card out of my wife I die:))

Thanks
