Hi. I've got dual citizenship, so I know I can legally retire to Ireland. Due to a family snafu, my parents did not register me in the FBR (although I was always told I had been). I found out only after my daughter was born.
I have no family other than my daughter (and the same for her). Since she can't be registered in the FBR now, she's not "Irish" enough to live in Ireland with me. I have always wanted to retire there (raised by my Irish grandmother, visited, etc.). But if my daughter cannot stay, I cannot go, as we are all each other has. We've lived together her entire.
Does ANYONE know of a way I can get her into the country permanently and legally? She's an adult, so that rules out one avenue. I have earned roughly $64,000 for the last two years, but I think we have to prove I've earned that much for three and it would have to be 60K euro before they'd let me sponsor her, and I think they'll want me to be still employed at that rate. As I'll be a retiree on a nice, but not stellar income (nowhere near 60K euro).... it looks like they won't let her stay if we go. She's about to graduate from university here in the USA in about six months, but the degree isn't really worth anything in the job market.
I am about a year from retiring from my job, but young enough to be able to take another for a few more years, as needed.
Thanks for any ideas.
