    You can do it tiger,you have one of those indefatigable spirits,be lucky



    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

    Keep your hopes up,...my friend went down the same SS route,...but in Germany,... he was OAP, no money whatsoever,.no house,. very small pension,...and he succeeded !!
    He saved up money to get his wife to join him after he flew to Germany,... she immediately went to work in a Maccy D,... they stayed for a year before he could save enough cash to fly back to UK. They walked straight through customs , onlty slight hesitation when asked about her status on the visa.
    They now stay in a small rented cottage, have a small child, and are being kept quite comfortably off by the governments handouts at the moment !!!

    Well, why not ?

    If thousands of crooks, spongers and parasites from all over the uncivilised world can come over here, hidden inside trucks, only to be given more than some Brits who were born here...

    Excellent story mate,fair play to your pal,shows that there's no barrier to true love,and what an odd country we live in where a native brit has to jump through so many hoops just to be with their life partner whereas the european masses stroll unchecked through the borders

    I wonder if somebody on State Pension (as I now am) can find a way to do it through this route ?

    I also have all the documents needed to claim Irish Citizenship.

    Problem I have, is not wanting to lose my precious council bungalow here in England.

    Difficult one.

    Disaster refused family permit apparently being in Ireland for 6 months isn't long enough for centre of life .on a side note Dora and her daughter who is 18 has been accepted as my dependants even though we are not married by the Irish government so now can't be deported.so next step is Irish residence card .so we will be here a little longer ,it's been a long journey

    Bit of a blow Brian, but at least some good news. How long will you have to be there?

    Oh dear.

    Hang on in there Brian !

    I wonder what's happened to 'Imagine' (Stuart) ?

    We haven't heard from him for a while.

    Sorry to learn that Brian. Personally I think that decision seems a little harsh if you complied with regulations.
    Have no idea how much, if any, Brexit might have been a factor. Personally I can't think of any. Ireland and UK are pretty close.

    Maybe the UKVI gave more info on their refusal for family permit that will give you something to work on ?

    OK, means you'll all be staying there a little longer. Hopefully you can maintain finances for that.

    Stay hopeful, stay there a while longer and really work on the next application in terms of just how you did transfer the centre of your lives.
    I wonder just how much of a factor is continued ownership of residential property in UK ? Maybe significant.

    Stay positive you all, enjoy your time in Ireland as much as you can, stay happy and work on all those issues you need to resolve in order to secure that UK family permit.

    Ok Brian... thanks for the update.

    Again... fingers crossed for you, and of course our old friend Stewart.

    I'v got all the proofs I need to claim Irish Citizenship now, but I'm not sure whether that will actually give me and the Mrs any advantage. (I'm on state pension now). I find the whole thing very confusing.
