Based on my experience in Ireland, it is people who are drunk, on dole that shouts the most about immigrant. Therfore you will excuse me for putting you in that grouping. That in itself is a racial stereotype. The poll suggests that 72% of Irish citizens want some or most of the immigrants to leave. You respond...

There is no EU law that restricts Ireland from taking actions against so called marriages of convenience. Article 35 of the directive makes provision for member state to take action against abuse. What the EU commission is fighting against, is countries using the so called sham marriage allegation as a means of striping of citizen's right, or use it as a form of collective punishment, or to cut down number of foreign national with rights...

well, with employment down, these type of marriages will be rare now, so yeah, the department won't be able to rely on "sham marriages" as an excuse. But the figures provided above in the links (the percent of receipants of deportation orders and the extremely odd clash nationalities and culture of the spouses with very little evidence of a lengthy and durable relationship prior to the marriages speaks for itself. I...

Sorry for the short post, in a hurry to leave.. If you can't prove dependency, it may be easier to prove "member of the household". In other words, it is sometimes easier to represent as falling under 3(2) rather than 2(2).

Thanks Benifa, i already told my mom to get a letter confirming that we were living in the same household. Hopefully it will work this time, we are going to apply again this week. You are doing such a great job by helping people here, God Bless you and your loved once!

I agree w/ LuasP - unless you are an EU citizen, you see, tp be planning to include things they do not ask for, and that just complicates things and could slow it down.

" If you are an E.U. citizen less than five years please submit..." Regardless, this is in the list at the...

I never said I wouldn't be happy. I said I would feel uncomfortable. Because both Ireland and Japan are islands, the people are not use to people from out side of the island. I just want to be honest. I wouldn't blame non-Japanese people living in Japan. I think it is very natural that you would feel weired when you hear some other language, not the country's native language?! no? (oops! I hear only a little Irish language on...
