Hi all,
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm sure i'm not the only one who has felt incredibly frustrated in dealing with the Irish Immigration.
I am an Australian National who moved to Ireland in February 2014 with my Irish partner. I came over on a Work Authorisation, which permits me to work for 12 months. (don't even get my started on the stuff up I had with immigration when they stamped my passport wrong and I entered work).
Anyway, in October 2014 I sent of a very thorough application for De Facto residency. My application included a contents page, tabs dividing the sections - birth certs, statements from family and friends, statement from my work, joint bank statements, joint tenancy leases and bills, cards and invitations sent to the both of us and lots more.
I have emailed them a second time (today), and they have told me they are only reviewing applications from July. Which can't be true because they were only reviewing applications from June when I ask in October. Surely it doesn't take that long?
Here's the real problem though, my work authorisation expires on some date in February, and I will be required to cease my employment, however I am still permitted to stay until I get a repsonse. That means I could be sitting about for 6months with no work... Do I have any options!?
