Thanks for the quick reply archigabe. Financially right now, I think that I have enough savings to wait off until the EU1 status comes in regarding my benefits. But do you know if I am allowed to apply for back benefits from those missed months when I go into the unemployment office? Will the unemp...

I can't wait though!!! 8) I don't understand why it takes them so long... I thought it was just a ma...

I received the same letter from INIS. But I already made my court declaration last week. So I think they sent that letter to everybody who was recently approved.

I remember a case few years back of Chinese person who went extra mile and learned Gaelic. Came to Ireland and landed at Dublin airport. No one in Dublin Airport Spoke Gaelic .. :lol: :lol: Immigration had to get an interpreter in. He he. This is not a real case. It was a short film (a work of fict...

This is correct. The "travel document" is a document issued by the Irish Government to refugees. It enables them to travel abroad and return to Ireland. Normally, refugees are not able to get a passport from their original country (as they're escaping from that country in the first place),...

My wife has been offered a transfer with her company to spain. Although we will have to give up everything, Spain is looking better all the time. Seriously considering it. Spain looking better all the time? The weather and food in Spain are indeed much better. But their economy is not better than I...

Thanks for the advice tiggs. I'll be there before 9 then!

Thanks for the info guys!!! I'll bring those documents then. I think I won't touch the yellow sheet until I'm there. By the way, my appointment is at 9:30... Do you think it might be better to arrive there earlier? I'm just remembering the GNIB queues, but probably this is not the same.... I'll be t...

Congratulations rustig!

Congratulations hussie!

I got my approval 2 weeks ago and I got an appointment for September.

After getting my passport, I will be staying in Ireland for as long as I can (economic situation permitting). If I'm forced to leave, I will be returning at some stage later. I love this country and I really like living here. Yes, there are many aspects of the way the country is run I don't like, bu...

Hello ChIrl and IrelandHopeful,

Would you mind me asking how come you got such quick appointments for the oath? Do you live outside Dublin? What court(s) did you use?

INIS are probably doing this to reduce the amount of telephone cals?

Congratulations to IwannaBePaddy!!!

Hope everything is OK with your application. Have you had your oath yet? Not yet. Actually, I'll have to wait till September to do my oath as they didn't have availability in Dolphin house until then. :( I also tried Dun Laoghaire court (as I'm a resident of the area) and they had a slot in July. H...

Interesting stuff LuasPassenger. What nationality are you, and what residence permit / card do you hold, for Ireland? I'm Mexican and I have a "without condition as to time endorsement" in my passport and a Stamp 6 in my GNIB card. However, they didn't even check my passport thoroughly (t...
