That's a shame that the useful data in those posts were lost. There is almost nothing left on this post, which makes me wonder what we are achieving by those deletions. Time to delete this one now I suppose. Do you mean this one? http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?p=777468&highlight=...

There were a few timelines posted and even they were deleted!! Why is that so?

you see... the only reason i applied through solicitor was because I had repeated been told by INIS and by Immigration office in burgh quay that stamp 2 does not qualify for reckonable residency no matter what. And i used a friend who is a solicitor to file it on my behalf to try to convince them. ...

Divide it by 52 for an approximate figure. It doesn't have to be exact.

If I were you, I would approach the Irish Embassy in India directly OR if far away from the embassy, call them and ask about options. As long as you can prove that it is an error, I assume it shouldn't be too hard. I would approach the embassy immediately with details to prove that it is really an e...

No fee is required if you are the spouse of an Irish citizen AND are renewing the residency (GNIB card) based on that relationship. GNIB card and the Visa are given free of charge. I am a similar case and have renewed these recently. That's how I know. If you are sending the application by post, you...

Some of my friends (adult applicants, 5 year residency) who applied in March 12 got their invites for Dec 13. the invites were received last week. Minor applicant (4 year old) who applied in September 12 got his approval last week. There is progress for sure.. Progress is only when we see our own a...

Although GNIB office encourages residency renewal in the final month only, I know for sure that they can extend it earlier. If I were you, GNIB would be my first port of call and explain the situation to them.

You are creating expectations in my mind. I can already feel my Blood pressure shooting up in anticipation ;) Thanks guys for your advice. :) And if you are lucky, when they get your file to include the new documents they will drop it back on top of the pile! (don't hold your breath, but you can dre...

Thanks so much for replying to me Brigid. So the EUTR visa we need to do online before submitting docs to the embassy, is that right? So seeing as i have never been to Ireland before, i really dont know where to move to. Do we go for the obvious, Dublin? But then i guess that would be expensive whe...

Hi Guys, Looking for a bit of advice: My Citizenship application is being processed at the moment. However, my current passport expired and I got a new one and updated my GNIB status as well. Got the GNIB stamp 4 for the next 5 years! Do you think that I should proactively update the processing team...

Why do we require a a GNIB number, or a different driving license number when we have a PPS number which is a unique personal identifier? This is also the case with UK, US and many other countries! Why can't the GNIB card be used as an identity card (that is probably is most verified one) while your...

A holder of an Residence Card does not need a visa to travel from anywhere in the world to any EU member state (except the UK, but that is in fight). The reason Stamp 4 holders require a visa, is because the Irish govt says they do. Simple as that. It is simply policy, seemingly designed to deter t...

I had raised this question to my immigration officer when i got my stamp 4. His answer was that ' Visa is only a travel document checking your eligibility to travel to and enter a country legally. GNIB card, stamp 4 or not, is a residency document. This is only issued if you want to be a resident o...

LOL, u r tricking the state every week for social welfare money....So what if they trick you for €175 naturalization application fee..... However, you can apply for naturalization, regardless of if you are working or not. The words you use reveal a lot more about yourself than what you are trying t...

I think part of the problem lies in the unbidden, non-removable appellations of Senior or Guru that are automatically applied to anyone who posts often. I have no desire to be named in this manner and would appreciate a way to disable it. Posting 1000 thumbs-up or smiley emoticons means you get to ...

Thanks for that. A quick question to moderators. Some forums (none of them rivals I can assure you) like XDA Developers have what they call a 'Thanks Metre.' It counts the number of times a person is thanked. It isn't fool proof but it is a better gauge for expertise or 'being genuinely useful'. Cou...

Thanks sushdmehta for your reply. You and I know that the title given to a member is based on the number of posts. Most people who visit the forum (most of them on a short visit I bet) aren't aware of such technicalities. The rarity in expertise in Ireland forum is understandable, because some areas...

Now, please do not take is as a complaint against anyone specific, because it is not. I have seen that the members mentioned below provideding invaluable assistance to others, and I do value their contributions. However, I will give you 2 examples that I can think of that I know has given the wrong ...

The standard of commentary in this forum has fallen far below where it was a few years back. Many of the answers and guidance given are based on "guesses" and are packaged as facts. It is disappointing many a times, when these come from the seniors and 'experts'. It would benefit everyone ...

As per an email that I got from INIS in January 2012 - the department accepts Electronic Documents (P21s, Bank Statements, Utility Bills) as long as they are from "Official Sources". In my case, all except bank statements, were electronic. BoI didn't have e-statement at that time and so I ...

Guys, I would like to present a reasonable argument to disagree with the senior members in this case. Here is an excerpt from the related statement in INIS website. "Notwithstanding the provisions of section 15, the Minister may, in his or her absolute discretion, grant an application for a cer...

I have received a letter that my Application is with the LSR Further Processing Team. Does anyone know what this LSR abbreviation mean? And what exactly they do there? (I applied in 2008) I really do not know what the fuss all about! If they say your Application is with LSR further processing team,...
