first you may try your local immigration officer. mind you some schools / colleges require stamp 2/2a in order to allow students to study. if you are unsuccessful with your local immigration officer, you would be refered to general immigration - change of status. last time i heard the applications t...
you, as a dependant of your spouse, will be getting a stamp 3. however, you do have an option of looking for an employer in ireland who would apply for a work permit for you. then your stamp would change to stamp 1 and you would be able to work only for the employer who got you the work permit. afte...
I would guess that your wife will be getting the remainder of her 3 year stamp on her passport, ie 1 year. the next wave of the renewals of IBC05 scheme would be in 2010. there are no provisions in place yet as to the renewals as it is still plenty of time till then.
another question, on what basis does her mother have her residency stamp 4? but from the looks of it, you won't be able to 'inherit' the stamp 4 from your wife and will have to 'earn' it on your own. you will be getting stamp 3 with practically no chances of getting stamp 4. (unless you work with wo...
is her stamp 4 on the basis of family reunification by a successful refugee family member?
is her stamp 4 on the basis that her parents were naturalised or something?
there are different types of family situations. what is the exact situation of your wife's family?
on what basis does your spouse have a stamp 4? as a joint spouse you would be getting stamp 3 and later you may try and change that stamp into stamp 4. it will depend on the basis of your spouse's stamp 4 though. and in order to get joint spouse visa, you will have to proof that you / your spouse wo...
it's not GNIB who is giving WCATT stamps, it's general Immigration. they need original passports so that they can stamp your passport as soon as they finish the counting. they only count permission stamps and do not look at entry - leaving stamps that are given at various airports. if you are covere...
they will go by the stamps in your passport. and if those 7 months away from the country were covered by your permission in the passport, you will be ok.
D reside visa is for those who have stamp 4 in the country based on certain permission that they have (like IBC, IBC-05, LTR, MIN, etc). d reside visa is usually issued as a re-entry visa for the ones who already hold permission to remain in the state on the basis of stamp 4. Join spouse is visa for...
i'd say INIS would be very interested to find out the reason for the delay. I would guess that the reminder would be sent out to you and if no reasonable reason received, the decision may even get cancelled or something if they see that you are not interested enough to complete the process... and as...
Non-EEA Nationals who wish to pursue a business activity (in a capacity other than as an employed person for whom an employer would have to obtain a work permit) must first obtain Business Permission.â€
LTR is stamp 4. regular stamp 4 includes right to self employment and starting your own business, same is with LTR. only stamp 4 based on work authorisation / working visa and the temporary special new stamp 4 for redundant workers do not allow for self employment and business. WCATT stamp allows th...
I think it's a good idea on INIS part. there is no need for someone to study English language for 6 or 10 years... There are provisions to the students who are doing masters and higher degrees to stay longer, but it's mainly to reduce the 'ghost' students who never attend schools in the first place ...
misterindia does not have LTR, he has MIN (married to irish national) status. That is not the same. However, the possibilities are same. he is allowed to start his own business if he wishes so. In relation to naturalisation Misterindia could send in copies of his new stamps and his current GNIB card...
Presumably this Stamp / INIS card issue is free, considering the applicants are currently out of work (re: redundant) i wouldn't presume that... http://www.inis.gov.ie/en/INIS/Pages/New_Provisions_for_Non-EEA_workers The non-EEA national will be entitled to have their immigration permission extende...
smalltime, i think you will be ok. the fact that you received the letter stating that your application is being processed at the moment, would mean that initial calculation has been made in your case and further processing is being done with outside agencies / interdepartamental report. if you didn'...
are you a visa required national? if yes, you will need visa to enter ireland. at the airport you should tell the truth that you are coming to stay with your EU wife, who should wait for you at the airport. have all the documents ready to show to the immigration officer at the airport. you mentioned...
if your mother arrived on a one way ticket, immigration officer may suspect that she was intending to stay longer than three months and could easily refuse her entry. that would cost you much more than buying her a return ticket.
maybe the section got extra people to process all the applications now that the money will be coming in. therefore, it could be faster for the processing on the section's front. however, all applications still have to wait for the intradepartamental reports. i hear they can take around 3 months to c...
if you tell immigration officer at the airport, that you are coming as a visitor, you would get a non-renewable stamp in your passport. therefore, you should tell at the airport the actual reason for your arrival.
smalltime, did you send any correspondence into LTR recently that they may have been acknowledging now to you? if not, chances are that all your documents are in order and no additional documents are needed from your side. in that case thay would just further process your application and the next ti...
I honestly don't think that link would work, otherwise all the parents of irish born children would have already been naturalised ahead of time and before those 5 years needed before the application. I would say half of the applicants for naturalisation have irish citizen children... however, everyo...
once you have a two year relationship you can apply in writing to general immigration. Nobody can stop you applying. But the fact is, that it will depend on your application and supporting documents whether or not you would get stamp 4. so far i hear that de facto applications are processed within a...
