hi doc44, I was also worried as I learnt from this forum that some cases it took months. But our company got the license after 12 days of online application. Good luck Thanks Hi Dr_fish13, Thanks. Your company must have made a payment on the same day of online application. My company filled and sub...

Hi! I experienced a similar situation with my job. Probably the best thing to do is to come up clean and explain the situation. You may be surprised of the good reaction you can get!! Your new employer obviously wants you and your skills otherwise you wouldn't have got the job, so a few hundred pou...

Hi Madona, I am not sure if I should send a private message. I am new to this forum so don't know which one is the best way to communicate. My employer applied for a tier 2 sponsorship license on 21 December 2011. They have submitted all the related documents and payment is also made on this passed ...

Do you really want to come to Ireland? Have you researched the job opportunities available? Because you woul need to live here to get the status, you can't just get it and have it in case you might want to move in the future. I think the Embassy gave you incorrect advice. The Irish Embassy in Abuja...

DOC44 that surely can't be correct as the reply I was issued with was to go get a visa and enter the state. Once your hear and apply they can't make you leave. Thats the advice I got from every solicitor! Thanks Mauritania, So it seems that I can apply for D type visa on the basis of my relationshi...

Remember that if it is a certificate of naturalization, then you are already Irish when you receive it. The act of the Postman delivering it (or not if nobody is home) does not change your citizenship. Hi, It seems the procedure is different for the applicants applying from Northern Ireland. It is ...

Did you see Jamie Smyth's article in the Irish times yesterday? http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/ireland/2011/0709/1224300389499.html "The Department of Justice said yesterday it had already granted a small number of the applications for residency, and refused a small number. But most of th...

Hi Raj, I know it is quite long when you applied for an Irish certificate of naturalisation for your child. But the system is still the same. I have two questions if you could help. Were you posted the certificate or you collected it from Irish consulate or office. Secondly if they posted it to you ...

I suggest to send the copy of the page of your partner's passport which got stamped at the airport when he was allowed in. As from the letter its becoming clear that the case officer is thinking he is illegally here. As far as the proof of address is concerned its not a big deal sign up for a bill ...

Hi Immigration lawyer and all. This Zambrano case seems quite confusing now. I am in Northern Ireland for last 4 years. My child is born here and got irish nationality (not british). Northern Ireland is a part of UK so I do not have GNIB card because I have not lived in the state. Q. Can i apply for...

Hi John, Thanks. I have checked with HMRC again and they have told me that both the benefits are formally ended and are not on hold. If I want to claim again I have to start everything from scratch. Secondly, we are from Pakistan and am on work permit and my wife is a dependant. We were issued benef...

I shall answer in this way. That is, if I were in your circumstances I would not attach a letter of the sort mentioned by you. But it is totally up to you how you proceed in this matter. Hi John, What's your suggestion. My case is that I applied for child benefit and tax credit when my child was bo...

Hi, I am in the same situation. was getting child benefit and tax credit but no more. Had it stopped as soon as realised that it is an unknowing mistake. Just want to check with you (katvenk) the outcome of your application. Do you get your visa stamp al right? I have to extend mine by September thi...
