regarding the spousal visa, the problem is only with the proof of relationship, we have been together me and my partner since 8 months, and we have met in real life for 10 days, so when i will have my interview at the consulate, all the evidence of the relationship will be only, wedding and its details( video,pictures), so many pictures and messages , met in real life for 20 days, so all the points refer that the proof is enough and week and they will suppose me that my sake is papers only, i have read so many cases before ,, its hard, so that why im confused

I dont how it will cost as money !!

my wife has two nationalities ,, british and irish and i cant get visa there based on her british nationality cuz of the hard requirements !!
so can i base the issue on her Irish nationality and in this case will i get EEA Family permission ?

Not if you are married to a British citizen as HKG3 correctly noted.

Can you both consider moving to, and working in, Dublin for at least several months? That surely would be easier with a move to London later if your heart is set on London.

My wife is native British/Irish, she lived 6 years in Ireland and 2 years in dutch as (she was student in dutch )and she is living in UK since 1999, so im sure there's some else route to follow ( NOT only spousal visa)

Do you have photos together? These seem to be the best and easiest proof of relationship.
