Hi again. So I received this letter from the INIS. They received my documents on 17/11 and posted this letter along with my documents on 18/11. Unfortunately, only just received this as the post was returned to INIS on one occassion as we were away. I am not sure what to make of this letter. It look...

Guys, do you know any other way how to get the post back from them? Am just a bit worried that INIS won't reply and my case will be delayed/deferred/cancelled.

Thanks guys. I have emailed INIS. I can't find a number for them. I may also pop a letter in the post. I hope they would reply.

Visit visa processing times according to INIS is 8 weeks.

Hi there. Apologies if this has been asked before. Does anyone have an idea what INIS sends through registered post. I was away on holiday for a week and missed the delivery. The letters have already been sent back to the sender. My wife and I recently applied to upgrade my status based on irish bor...

All the best. Hi. Thank you for pointing me to your thread. Has been great help. Thanks again. Now ju...

Thanks Obie. I seem very undecided at times, but I guess there will be no harm in applying.

Hey guys. Was just looking at the application form. Could anyone please clarify a few things for me? About applicants role in the child's life, I know there is a checklist but I am not sure if I can provide some of these. Though my application is not complicated (I hope so). We (myself, the better h...

She was born on 25/09/2015. It took me three visits to the local pharmacy just to get her pictures. She would be awake all night and asleep all day.

Hey guys. Just a followup on this thread. So I got my daughters passport and went ahead to Angelsea Garda station in Cork. And the polite lady on the counter told me from 1st October they have stopped upgrading stamps locally and I need to send an application to the INIS. I guess I won't bother as I...

Hi. Does this apply to people who already have immigration status and are on a workpermit? Or is GNIB still upgrading stamps over the counter?

So long story short. After speaking to UKVI, validity stamps are not acceptable and neither can I attach a covering letter with a new passport number to the application form. I had to cancel my applications, request refund and applied for little one's manula passport and waiting to fill in new apps ...

Just to update on this problem. Spoke to UKVI and they do not accept these validity stamps. I guess our embassy needs to come out of the stone age now.

Hi there. Apologies for the ignorance. I am currently a resident of Ireland. I have filled in (and paid for) application forms for visit visa to the UK for my family (wife and two daughters). We have not attended our appointment yet but application form has been submitted and no changes can be made ...

Hi there. I am in a bit of a dilemma here. Would appreciate you guys help. i am currently in ireland and all the family, including me have manual passports. My little one has a hand-written passport with a stamp on one of the pages that says something in the lines of "the validity of this passp...

Congratulation!!!

Thank you very much

And you've answered my queries very well. Thank you for that. My GNIB and workpermit are up for renewal by july 2016, so hopefully I may have upgraded my status by then. Thanks again.

Even if you apply wouldn't take long .

Thanks looks like i'm going to have to apply. I might try my luch and visit local GNIB when I get her passport and see what happens.

I haven't even applied for her passport yet. And from 1st october i understand it will no longer be possible to apply over counter as everyone would need to apply on a form and send to residence division of INIS? thats my understanding at least.

Hey guys. Just need a bit of guidance. I have been working for the hse for the last four years. Now proud father of a baby girl. Just asking, once (if) I get an Irish passport for my child, should I apply to upgrade my stamp 1 to 4? I am currently on stamp 1 and have to get a work permit every time ...

Hi there, need help with another query. I sent an email to long term residence section and asked about my registration category which i held for two years and then switched to general registration. Throughout the time I had stamp 1 and was employed by hse. Below is their reply; "In order to qua...

Great. Relieved to hear that. Thank you very much.

Just out of curiosity, didn't they introduce supervised division only recently? And if you don't mind me asking, how long were you on that register?

Appreciate the help.

Hi all. My query is that, in case of doctors, does registration under the supervised division with the medical council (but with stamp 1 immigration permission) count towards reckonable residence for long term residence and naturalisation? Sent a few emails to INIS but haven't got any replies yet. J...

Hi there. Before I start, please accept my apologies if the question is stupid. I researched on this topic for days on this website and others. I have been offered a post of specialty registrar in the UK. Waiting for my restricted CoS in the mid of july as there are additional formalities involved. ...

could anyone help me please??
