This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Wait so it is better for my partner if I get my EU citizenship through Ireland then get married than to get married before citizenship?
I was going to work on getting my Irish citizenship, though the thought of many American going there makes Ireland less attractive.
That's my understanding. Are you doing it through the grandparents rule?
I wouldn't worry about it. There aren't any noticeable number here tbh and any I've come across who have moved here are sound.
Well my grandfather was Irish but also my mother was born in Ireland so it is either a parent or grandparent option.
Oh nice. I think it's fairly straightforward in that case, though obviously I've never done it. Your nearest embassy will be able to fill you in handy enough.
If you do take the plunge and have questions drop me a line by all means but with an Irish parent I'm sure you'll have plenty of family here willing to help.
