How I found my Irish farmer and true love in Ireland

I agree with many of the posts. My question: What are you waiting for? Move already, especially with a grandparent born in Ireland?!

Good job fixing the grammatical and spelling errors.

If they really wanted to be together bad enough they would and could do it. A relationship is a compromise.

I am married to an Irish. But being a non EEU citizen does not let me work even though I am a professional. Worst thing is that the immigration at the airport always tends to give me 2 days less visa than my return ticket. In the end, we gave up and are happily living in my country Malaysia where spouses face no problems to get permits, jobs or visas. My country adheres to the treaty signed and gives my husband the full 90 days visa on arrival. But Ireland never keeps it bargain and always harasses me even though I am from a nation entitled to 90 days visa plus I am also the wife of an Irish citizen. Well all in all, Ireland lost a professional in my husband. But we gained and appreciate him in my country

I call BS. I'm a NY girl who married a farmer (sheep, God help us)and let's just say, this sounds like a load of...blarney. Either this gal is being played for a fool or this whole story is just that- a story. Btw, she is eligible for citizenship through her grandparent. If this was such an epic love, wouldn't she have already looked into that?

There's something very fishy about this story. Way too many holes. Why can't they get married? I'm not buying it. I think it's a piece of tourism-driven propaganda. Also, an American woman would not say "minding him as he has always minded me." "Minded" to Americans means to obey, not take care of.

I too believe if you have an Irish grandparent, you are entitled to Irish citizenship. Since the writer lives in New York, she should get in touch with the Irish consulate ASAP and start the paperwork. If she can get an Irish passport, she'll have no need for work permits. I have Irish citizenship through my father, who emigrated in 1928, and one does not lose one's US citizenship.

@beaumax99, you're right! Does she know this?? If not dear woman with her heart in Connamara, PLEASE start the paperwork ASAP. You may get there quicker than you think. Good luck, and lots of it.

Oh! Be kind now. Real or imagined it is a pleasant story where marriage does not appear in the offering. Yanks visiting the routes of their ancestors are always in love with Ireland and the natives. And they spend a lot aiding our economy.

I was under the impression that if your grandparent's were from the old country, you could apply for citizenship/residency? If it's true love, somehow or another, you will make it work and find a way to be together. GOOD LUCK AND MAY GOD BLESS YOUR UNION.
