LuasPassenger If you are self-employed, then you require Notice of Assessment (NOA) i.e equivalent of P21 for PAYE. However, you cannot get 2008 NOA until you file Income tax return (F11). And legally the deadline is Nov 2009 for that and they can't force you to file F11 for 2008 so early. So if you...

You may need to try for at least 15 minutes before you can get into the queue. I managed to get into the queue and am currently on hold.

Here is my timeline: My initial application was made in Jan 2007. This was sent back to me due to the fact that it was not witnessed properly by the commisioner of oath. I re-applied in April 2007, and got a reference number in May 07. Asked for documentation in July 08 (only birth certificate). Ca...

Tom,

No worries - the details are fine. I am on same timelines but stuck at garda stage for over 4 months.

I think the letters are sent out around 20th of month so best of luck in advance. You might even get the good news on Friday.

When the f**k will INIS hear back from Gards? It has been over 4-6 months and the status is still the same. Looking at Fianna Fail's decreasing popularity, I am not sure if the minister would be there by the time application comes back. This would further delay it and then come june/july, the minist...

Same here. They say that it takes usually 3-6 months to get garda verification done. There is a significant backlog and it may take around 2 months to clear it. For majority of cases, the application is stuck at this point.

Wondering if we need to start a new thread - Garda Enquiry Tracker.

I was about to ask same question from VikingDub. The old posts suggest that he is just advising people rather than discussing own application. I don't think he has even applied. He does look INIS employee who is trying to misguide us and preach DoJ principles. Just ignore him guys.

I am not sure why complaining about INIS work. First you can not compare Ireland with Australia, New Zealand - they are immigration countries with points system including IELTS tests. You have to pay before you enter the country and have to prove that you have enough funds for first year. You did n...

Vikingdub, don't preach us with DoJ's dialogues. This privilege stuff applies to every country but there is something called humanity. INIS is just harrasing the applicants.
