you need to post more info. where you from. what permit you have. work holiday maker visa? work authorization or work visa? why you said the dept of entemp said ok to you to switch to green card and now you got a letter for rejection? you have to explain this a bit.esharknz wrote:I received a decision today on my green card (I am currently in Ireland on a working holiday authorisation), but I got declined stating that I was on the work visa/work authorisation scheme. I was told by entemp that it would be OK for me to switch to a green card (and I know that many young people in my situation have done the same previously). Has anyone had any experience in this matter, or do I have to beg my employer to let me go for 4 weeks to sort this out from overseas?
ok, here is what i know. your work holiday authorization has nothing to do with the department of justice. here is the procedure for IRELAND. just remember this. when you got your work holiday authorization. whoever gave you that(e.g irish embassy or dept foreign affairs in dublin), they only issue that on be half of the minister of enteprise in ireland. so once when you got that in your passport. you CANNOT work yet unless you report to the garda and get the garda stamp on your passport. i dont know what they told you about the stamp in your passport. few years ago. they call the stamp from the GNIB as permission to remain. it is not a visa. it is a permission to stay legally in the country. the garda would not stamp on your passport unless they see why you want to stay in the country. in your case. because you got the work holiday authorization. so they stamped on your passport for how ever your work holiday authorizaiton allowed you to remain in the country. rememebr this. minister of enteprise can authorize foreigner to work in the country but the minister of enteprise does not have authority to allow people to live in the country. once when you get the authorization from minister of enteprise. in your case, the work holiday authorization. then you go to the GNIB, then you ask the minister of justice for permission to live in the country legally. but here is the extra power that the minister of justice has. the minister of justice can give you right to live in the country right the way by granting you residency or irish passport right the way, and the minister of justice also can take away you work holiday authorization by deporting you(which i hope it will not happen to you or anyone).esharknz wrote:I'm from New Zealand on a working holiday authorisation, which is the same stamp as a work permit. Entemp did say it would be OK to switch (it's possible to switch from other permits to this), but then I got declined as my visa is issued by the department of justice. They said I should try to get permission to remain and apply after my working holiday authorisation expires. I rang the justice department, and they seemed to think it would be OK for me to remain in the country while waiting for my permit to be processed without any sort of application. I'm concerned because entemp may decline me for being in the country on an 'invalid' permit.
I'm going nuts - different departments are telling me different things and I just don't know what to do
who said you wont be issue a green card while you are on work holiday authorization? dept of justice or dept of enterprise? i am lose.esharknz wrote:Yeah,
Thanks for this. The issue that is worrying me is that while a work authorisation is in force, they will not grant a green card. So I need to have them process my green card after my working holiday authorisation (or apparently any work authorisation issued under the now defunct work authorisation scheme) has expired. This is 20 september, and my GNIB card is also only valid until then. So I need a way of somehow being granted temporary residency. I tried asking two different government departments today about this, and got conflicting responses. I'm wondering if I try to get a stamp from the GNIB allowing me to stay (but not work) until I can reasonably expect a response from entemp regarding my green card (and I'm hoping I can then happily go along to GNIB again for a green card stamp).
