new baby

niallith

my girlfriend gave birth to a baby girl, but the problem is she isn't legal to stay here in ireland, but our baby got a pps number and when she called the welfare for baby benefits they told her that she can get a pps number, does this mean that she can work now in ireland? also can she, being american, get a visa to stay here legally and travel in and out of the country without having to worry about being let back in?

Can she stay as of right? I think no.

Can she ask for leave to remain? Yes and might be granted it.

Will she be allowed work? That will depend on her getting a work permit/visa.

She really needs to speak to someone who specialises in immigration law.

Does she have any Irish family connections? Do you want to marry her?
