did you get yours? Just an update, INIS received my passport on 15th of Nov, still no news. If taking 2 weeks of hols into consideration as not working time, it is full 8 weeks of waiting time today... :( Anyone else in similar situation? Or anybody getting their WCATT recently? Just to get an idea ...

here is my update...

sent on 26th Nov

took about 37 working days....

Here is the happy update

Today my wife visa extended with out presenting my passport, all they asked me was my Gard card.. job done

yah, that rule applied for the applications made on or after 01.12.2010. I applied in Nov'10. You also better to see them personally once, because 4 months is way too long... there is some thing wrong !!!! unfortunately, it's not a public office, so you won't be able to see them. and just to explain...

I am looking for GNIB stamp for my wife I think you should write to the Endorsement section, explaining them the situation and asking for an advice. Another thing you could you, in my view, is to go to GNIB as soon as her stamp is expired, explain a situation to them and get a temporary stamp in he...

I would suggest that you go to GNIB and find out with them. Is that an actual visa you're looking for her, or the renewal of GNIB stamp? Anyhow, what I wanted to say is that I've applied for WCATT on the 13/10/10 and still didn't get my passports back, exactly 60 working days has passed by today. I...

I applied for WCATT stamp on 29-11-10, still not received my passport. Now I have my wife visa expiring soon. I have LTR up to 2015. My question is, can I renew my wife's visa without having my passport in hand. What happens if I don't renew my wife's visa until I get my passport back from GNIB.

So, now we can obtained this stamp by appointment as well. Will they give on the same day? Any body done this in-person? The Without Condition endorsement can be obtained either by appointment or by post. Appointments are available on Tuesday or Thursday mornings from 10.00am until 11.30am. Applican...

if nothing is perfect in Ireland then why you want to live here? Go to the country where everything is perfect, as simple as that. Its Ireland mate, nothing is perfect here. Once again....nothing is perfect here. and once again...things are pretty f***cked here. So, no one can answer your question, ...

that's correct, you are not entitled to receive job seekers benifit or assistance as once you lost your job you became the dependent on your spouse unless you get another job. Hi, my wife came on working visa.My self joined with her on dependent visa (stmp 3).I got my spousal work permit (stmp 1) an...

You give legal immigrants a bad name.

This forum is for people to obtain advice to stay within the law not for people who broke the law for years.

Yes, he should have been deported long back.

ohh, sounds new to me. On what basis he will get citizenship?

as I said, it depends on pure luck, some times I wonder how funny this Irish system works!!! I know a genuie IT guy personally, working and paying taxes etc. in the country for about 7 years and his naturalization is rejected, reason not mentioned. I know another guy works as a operator on 22k who h...

if you are lucky then there will be no problem whether you have GP card or MEDICAL CARD. Your luck plays here, I know a friend who's naturalisation rejected based on having Medical/GP cards and at the same time I know other friend got naturatlisation even though they had Medical/GP card. So, fingers...

come on guys, IrishTom is just copied this from the website (www.timesonline.co.uk), that's not his own.

don't worry, few of my friends got redundant few months ago but still they got their citizenships recently without any issue.

So, this Irish system works on documents and more over one should have a luck that's all.

hi scme4242, I agree with IrishTom here, Is that the only reason you lot apply for Irish citizenship? To save a few quid on visas? It really sends bad message that we all admit that we apply for citizenship to save few quid !!! But IrishTom, I have a question for you. Irish Law is the problem not us...
