    May I ask what relevance the letters are? So what is your brother knows the local td and peace commissioner, his partner either meets the requirements or doesn't.

    Not having a go, I'm not anti immigration and have been in the receiving end of some strange interpretations of the law myself. Just don't see how they benefit the case

    They benefit having people with what would be considered a good reputation in the community (that's a different debate) vouch for them and the legitimacy of the relationship. The PC and the TD know him personally and are well aware that it's genuine. It's not just his partner that has to meet the requirements, they must meet them as a couple, there's requirements on both sides.

    But I thought she was refused the visa based on the €40k over three years and not the legitimacy of their relationship?

    Or am I wrong, sorry got a lil confused

    The letter wasn't that specific, we know that on first round, the €40k was slightly short so that had to be addressed, which it has been. I assume the letter is non specific as they're not supposed to refuse on one factor alone, rather they should take a holistic view.

    As far as the advice we've been given, the more evidence can be given to show the legitimacy of the relationship, the better....even if it's not asked for. Hence the letters.

    Letters of support from TDs, or anyone else for that matter, are not taken into account.

    They are not required, not requested and not considered at either 1st instance or appeal.

    I’ve yet to see an appeal be allowed.

    It does happen.

    The refusal tells the applicant why the visa was refused.

    All they gave to do then is address each item.

    If they can’t do that then it must be a very poor application.

    Not to doubt the OP, but his brother should be certain that he’s applying for the correct visa

    OP mentions that his brothers wife wouldn’t be allowed work here for 18 months which is absolutely not the case. Once she has received the correct visa, and registered with the INIS here, she can work immediately without the need for work permit etc
