UK, Ireland / wife wants to have baby in poland not ireland [52]


My lady gave birth to my mini me. Her demands were ludicrous. But she was the one going through childbirth, not me. So you give in and be as supportive as possible.

Im no feminist. But sometimes a man has to shut up, open his wallet and listen.

UK, Ireland / wife wants to have baby in poland not ireland [52]

Do what the lady wants. However crazy we think her demands are - she is the one giving birth. I know the Irish maternity system is decent. As do you. She is adamant Polands is better.... play along.

My sister and her partner stayed with me last night. I got up early to make them eggs Benedict and messed the dish up. Added bacon, spinach, potato cake and hollandaise sauce. Foooked it up. Deeply embarrassed. They ate it, but I could tell they didnt enjoy it.

The dude is coola boola. A guest in my abode. Id like to cook him a nice meal before I bring him to the football later. One lads username inspired me - pierogi! I could cook him a lovely piece of steak, a curr

USA, Canada / US visa rejections and what you should say in an interview [16]

Il get back to you on Tuesday when ive got a response from me mate. In the meantime, chill and make sure your girl gets her documentation in order.

Dont sweat it too much. If you play ball with immigration, you will eventually come good. Or she could get a travel visa for Canada and saunter over the Maine border (joke).

The stats dont lie, baby!

Study / AFRICAN STUDENTS INVASION in Krakow [197]


The average iq in rwanda is 70. Which is not too bad for Africans. But I wouldnt slate people over their perceived low iq if I was an African. People with an iq in the 70s are borderly mentally retarded. The average Rwandan is a retard.

Nobody with an iq lower than 100 should be getting into any European country.

USA, Canada / US visa rejections and what you should say in an interview [16]


Buddy, I am not an immigration lawyer. I am just giving you advice, as I want through the greencard system to help a mate set up a business. Its an arduous process at times. Tell your girl to try and gather up as much documentation as she can to prove that she has ties to Poland and her current home. Il fire off an email in the morning to a buddy of mine who is an American based lawyer and see what he advises.

Sign up/register here in the meantime so I can send you a private message. As for when she will get the visa. It might be October, it might be Christmas or it might be longer. There is no point in stressing. If what you told me is all true, then I would be shocked if she wasnt eventually awarded a visa. Once you get the first, abide by it and return home before it runs out - future applications become a whole lot easier.

Its getting the first one is the stressful part.

Its late here in Europe, but in the morning someone who has been in a similar position as yourself may see this thread and give you even more advice.

If she has a sponsor form from your father, then yeah, dShe should definitely tell them that you are her bf and attach photos of you and her in Poland and London with sponsorship form. A copy of your skype call in and call out log to prove that you are chatting regularly and if you booked a two way flight - Us - Pol, Pol-Us for yourself for a date after her trip in America, to visit her. That would probably nail it.

Does she have a fair few benjamins in her bank account? That might be a stumbling block.

USA, Canada / US visa rejections and what you should say in an interview [16]

Ok. When she enrolls in school tell her to get documentation of this, receipt of all fees paid and if you wait a while - a letter from her lecturer stating she is progressing well and committed to her course. Get a letter from her employer stating she has been working there for x number of years. If she is a member of any sports teams, groups or what not - get a letter from them showing that she has been a member since x.

Once she presents enough evidence to the immigration officer that she has a life that she will want to return to and that she is no danger of overstaying, then her visa will be granted. I know that you are young and dying to see your girl, but dont rush it. Take your time, get all your documentation in order and you will be golden.

No. Its not bad if she says you are her boyfriend. If they dont ask, dont tell. If they do ask, be one hundred percrnt truthful.

If she has pictures of you and her in Poland and London, get her to bring them along too. Not to offer them up, but if they enquire about why she is visiting America and about her boyfriend there. If you visited her in Poland, that should work in your favour.

USA, Canada / US visa rejections and what you should say in an interview [16]

Does she have a job? She needs to prove to immigration authorities that she will not overstay and that she has significant ties with her home country. Applying straight away after a refusal is a bad idea. I would suggest you go over to Poland first and for her to reapply again in six months or so.

UK, Ireland / UK general student visit..from Poland. Applying for UK visiting visa? [13]


Its not even that expensive. Try getting a green card to the states. Now thats expensive. Costs circa 10, 000 euro and thats if the company knows what they are doing. The ambitous and skilled will make that back in no time. The moochers and scammers wont, so they hit Europe. Just look at all the non EU students that come on here looking for advice. Clowns are borderline literate.


Illegals will keep hitting Europe until we body some of them. Its not nice. In fact, its absolutely horrid. But man the Greek/Spain/Italian entrances into Europe with armed militia that will fire upon illegal aliens trying to make their way in. 100 bodies and the illegal immigration problem shall cease. Put it this way, more than that will drown if we continue on doing what we are doing. It would save lifes in the long run.

They are putting in measures so people from troublesome countries have to pay a bond upon entering. Enjoy Christmas in Poland.

Tens of thousands of visitors from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nigeria will be forced to pay a £3,000 bond to be allowed to enter Britain.They will only get the money back once they leave the country in a bid to end abuse of the visa system.Home Secretary Theresa May said the intention was to make the immigration system more 'selective' and deter people from 'overstaying' once their visitor visa has expired. In the long-term, she hopes to extend the Australian-style bond scheme to also include foreign workers and students.

You will have to give your fingerprints at US immigration. If these are already on record, you will have major problems. Your previous overstay will be documented.

If you are looking to simply visit the U.S. collect data that proves that you have strong ties with the U.K and that you will return. Be honest in all dealings with immigration, as if you are not and they find out - they will refuse to entertain you and simply disallow you from entering.

Tip of the iceberg. So whoever told you that welfare here is meagre and hard to access is a damn fool or a liar. Perhaps both. Wordfrom the wise, if an iIrish person is screaming poverty, then he or she is probably loaded. Or a farmer. ;)

UK, Ireland / Advice on child support (Irish with my Polish husband) [106]


The only way they will cut your freebies off is if you have married someone with sizeable assets. There are an awful lot of holes in the ops tale. Welfare here is very high and relatively easy to access. Seriously, if you are ever in Dublin walk by a welfare shop. Its like a united nations meeting. Whoever is telling you that welfare is low in this international soup kitchen, is a liar.

The unemployed married couple, who take home €1,763 a week, have four children and live in Dublin. They are originally from Bosnia.

I live here. No apparently about it - contraception is readily available to all. You were right about abortion though.

UK, Ireland / Advice on child support (Irish with my Polish husband) [106]

Yes, the father should pony up and pay for the occasional treat. Swimming lessons are hardly a luxury - they could save the childs life. Trust me, most kids dont enjoy their lessons too much. Especially in winter. You also forget to factor in clothing - decent clothing in Poland is more expensive than here. And 8 year olds grow out of clothes real fast. They also need to eat. A lot. Keep factoring in incidental expenses and fifty euro a week is not an awful lot of child support to be paying out. Bringing up a young boy by yourself and holding down a job is far from easy. Its not like she will be out living the high life on an extra 50 Europeans.

Food, school materials, transport, new football boots, he grows out of the runners you bought last year, new winter jacket, swimming lessons, school trip, friends birthday party, Christmas, his birthday, the occasional trip out, begging you for a new toy etc etc.

Kids aint cheap.


Come off it. Welfare in Ireland is hard to get - if you were previously self employed! No moolah for you. Apart from that, its very high. The OP can claim for three kids. Thats 390 euro per month in child benefit. Both are working part time, so they can apply for a top up via jobseekers. Theres another 150-200 euro per week. If they are renting, then they are qualified to apply for rent allowance. Family income support is also available, if they are still struggling.

They are far from starving.

The op and her husband should be looking to avail of some part time fas or training course to help upskill. I was looking at the ones available in my local fas centre and the learn mandarin one tickled me fancy. You have to be on some sort of benefit to qualify, unfortunately, but there are some decent courses out there for folk such as themselves.


News to me. They arent?

UK, Ireland / Advice on child support (Irish with my Polish husband) [106]

If you make a late claim for Child Benefit and can prove that you had a good reason for making a late claim, your Child Benefit can be backdated to the time you became entitled to the payment regardless of when you became entitled to the payment.

citizensinformation.ie/en/social_welfare/irish_social_welfare_system/claiming_a_social_welfare_payment/making_a_late_claim.html

There you go. Tell them that you didnt realise that it could be paid out for a non resident child. Eight years child benefit or however long the deadbeat was inIreland for. A nice chunk of change.

Ching, ching. Get those champers flutes out. Chink, chink.

UK, Ireland / Advice on child support (Irish with my Polish husband) [106]


Hmmm. I doubt this very much.

Tell him to get the original copy of his sons birth cert. Go down to the welfare shop. Make a claim for child benefit in his sons name. 130 euro per month. Doesnt matter if the kids non resident, once the father lives here. If you get some dogooder ould wan processing your claim she may backdate it. Throw in a crisp one hundred euro note per month and there is your 1, 000 zloty.

Life / My take on Poland - My Top 10 [31]


According to a London Press Associated study showed us that 48% of Irish men, 40% of British men, 22% of Polish men and just 9% of French men binge drink at least once a week. The French drink 14.2 litres of pure alcohol a year, one of the highest in Europe. The difference being, they tend to take their time with their alcohol consumption and spread it out over an evening eating or what not. Where as we try to consume as much as possible in a short time frame.

Life / My take on Poland - My Top 10 [31]


I can only purchase alcohol from 11am to 10 pm and a six pack of half decent brand named beer costs me 10 euro (and thats cheap here!). Alcoholism is through the roof. The alcohol culture needs to be changed in some European countries, you wont do that by passing silly nanny state laws. I can walk into a shop at 9.55pm, clearly drunk, and purchase ten litres of whiskey. No issue. A lad finishes an evening shift and pops in after me to pick up a bottle of wine to unwind at 10.01 - thats against the law!

Look at Spain for examply, you can buy beer wherever you go and stay out clubbing for 24 hours if you want. Wanna beer with your McDonalds breakfast at 7am - no problemo! Alchol abuse is very rare. If you see someone clearly drunk, its usually a tourist.

Also, if you look at countries with a strong alcohol culture you will note that one theme remains consistent, that they all have harsh winters and or a lot of rain. Its a big factor.

It really is, man. Everyone agrees that child abuse is seriously wrong. But on the flipside, I've had conversations with people about the Catholic church child abuse scandals here in Ireland and the bbc child abuse cover ups. An element of 'ah sure, you cant catch them all' and 'there will always be child abusers' seaps into the conversation. As if people believe its just part of society and accept it as such.

Its very worrying. There are members of my current government who turned a blind eye to abuse of their own young family members, carried out by fellow family members. Covering up child abuse of their own kin ffs.

Children in Britain and Ireland have it better than 90% of kids across the globe - no mistake. But strives still need to be made.

UK, Ireland / Daniel Pelka murder: Polish mother and stepfather face life sentences [96]

The teacher questioned the mother about the kids constant hunger and she was fobbed off with the ould 'he has an eating disorder and is always hungry excuse'.

The mother was addicted to drugs and occasionally went on the game.

Heads will roll over this. Its mad to think that nobody stepped in and contacted social services. Especially after the nipper arrived into school sporting bruises and black eyes.
