This is not a change in EU law, just a ruling that concerns the recalcitrant Irish and their attempts at getting away with their own interpretation of EU laws. As far as I can see, it has no influence on your situation in the UK (whose authorities are slow and sometimes incompetent, but at least more or less implement the EU directives)

See also http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/7525472.stm - although there's an error in that article where it says "non-EU nationals married to Irish citizens". The case didn't involve Irish citizens, but non-EU spouses of EU nationals who are not Irish.

Hello sebhoff, do you have any ideas or information for non EU spouses of EU nationals (British), do they will get the spouse or settlement visa easier after that article in that BBC news ? Thanks

 

I suppose you are referring to a move to Ireland?

I have no further information than what's in the two links I posted - and I know very little about the situation in Ireland. I would however suspect that such a ruling by the EU court has implications for other couples in similar situations. If you have previously had difficulties with immigration to Ireland, things may now have changed for you. But given that Ireland has apparently been very reluctant to comply with the EU Directive 2004/38, I don't know whether it's going to be a drastic change of policy from now onwards.

If your question is about moving to the UK (together with your British spouse), then I would think that this ruling has absolutely no impact whatsoever.

Hi Sebastian, thanks for replying to me! I have a Brit bf and we plan to get married this Oct. After that I will need to move to Uk with him. That is why I asked you if you have any idea after that BBC News. It does not seem to help much for my situation

 

No, it does not affect you. For the Directive 2004/38 to apply, there must be a European dimension to your case - which means that more than one member state is involved. The court found this to be the case for e.g. British citizens in residing in Ireland, but it would not apply to British citizens in the UK.
