The question I asked is she resident in Ireland, in other words has she established residence here, is she is a position to support you financially? When did you marry? You are here on a student visa which was granted on the understanding that you would leave Ireland when you completed your studies. You were aware at that time that you could not change your status unless you had a work permit. As you are probably aware the authorities have come to regard with suspicion marriages between Asian men and other EU nationals due to the number of bogus marriages between Asian men and othe EU nationals. Where these marriages occur when the non-EU party is an illegal immigrant, has entered the country on a visitor's visa and over stayed, entered the country on a student visa and whose course of studies is now complete and the visa has either expired or will expire soon, then immigration authorities are likely to reject any application to remain as the spouse of an EU citizen.

If your marriage is genuine and she is a UK citizen, why not move to the UK and apply for residency there as the spouse of a UK citizen?
