I spoke to Immigration guy here and he told me that I can still apply for my mother given the fact that my visa will be due for renewal in early april. And my mother can still get 90 days permit to stay in ireland, regardless if my visa expires. I am a bit confused. Because if host visa is going to ...

Just a general question? Does that mean a naturalized Irish citizen's spouse has to show her own financial means to get the citizenship? Don't think so usually. But I think this particular situation is complicated by the fact that we won't be having any income for the next year unless my wife takes...

@9jeirean, She's on a stamp 4 (spouse of Irish citizen). [That is where it gets a bit trickier seeing as you are planning to leave the country. IMHO, I think your best bet is to send in those documents now ahead of your leaving he country and hope that they don't come back to ask for updates. Good ...

Thanks all for replies.

Yes, I will try to call in DC to get this information. I have also been trying to call INIS here because they are the ones who make the decision.

Hi, I am on Stamp 4 Working Visa which is due to expire on early April 2011. Now, I want to apply for visit visa of my mother who is also a Non-EU national living on Green Card in USA. Since, INIS takes roughly 2 months to process the visa application for 3 months visit visa therefore by the time my...

Sorry to hijack this thread, but this topic triggered a question in my mind. If a child is born in Ireland whose one of the parents are legally resided in ireland for the last 5 years, then the child is an irish national. How soon the child can apply for passport? I mean is there any limit that a c...

Good luck...

Already done. Thanks.

One question: When I fill in the new Form? Do I have to say YES in section 11. Previous Application. i.e. Given the fact that my application is being sent back with a letter. And in that letter there is a reference number. i.e. they did not issue any reference to me but a reference number of a lette...

For the purpose of naturalization and LTR, INIS calculates your residency period based on the dates each renewal stamp is appended on your passport as against standard calendar months since arrival. Sometimes the two may not synchronize for example due to delay in work permit renewal, delay in rene...

To be honest with you. One of my friend also applied with me almost same time. He got his reference letter. We both gone through each other's document & are working in same company, almost similar documents etc. Actually I've been going through this website for quite some time. And I got alot of...

Sorry I guys :D I meant I arrived on 23rd of April 2005. Did you make the same mistake on your citizenship application, I wonder? Otherwise, I've no idea. Its not possible. Because, I checked my application many times before send it. I still have the photocopy of my Application Form. So I am sure I...

Sorry I guys I meant I arrived on 23rd of April 2005.

I arrived in Ireland on 23rd of April 2005 & then applied around 20th of April 2010 for the citizenship application. Today i.e. 6th of May 2010. They returned my application saying that I did not complete 5 years here. But I've already completed 5 years since I arrived here directly on Working V...

Today I got the certified translation from DCU. However, they stamped it Not SIGNED it. Is it Ok?

you can claim tax back using Med1 form from revenue.ie but make sure if u r claiming from tax or revenue office u should have the proof purchase of medicines & GP receipts because revenue dept could ask u for proof within 5 years. So the Med1 claims are ok :-) I am holding it up for the time be...

Thanks alot for your advice. I will get it from DCU and will provide the original translation from DCU to DoJ

Go to DCU (Dublin city university Glasnevin) in the department of applied languages and they will certify it for you. there are some private firms who do translation jobs but i would recommend DCU as they have a whole deprtment of differnt languages of the world. Contact the main university switch ...

Hi all Thanks for the replies. Language is Urdu.
So the links you sent are accepted by DoJ

I have a marriage certificate and a birth certificate. I did the translation in my home country but by looking at some of the threads here I think DoJ requires the translation to be done from Ireland. Is that correct? If, yes then can I get the list of certified translator. This website is the mosqu...
