you know, the gnib giving out the permission to remain just like the home office in uk give out the permission to remain. if home office can decide on the indefinite leave to remain for uk within a week time. why it takes 14 months to count your passport pages in gnib? like one of the member mentioned in this site here. they might be process one application per day. thats why it took so long!!!!!! OR as you said, they dont want to do it at all. after all, they could just grant the long term residency when the people go into gnib renew their stamp, but they dont want to do that for the foregin people here. you think those guys in the gnib counter doesnt cannot tell each foreign person details in thier computer right inside the gnib? excuses excuses, thats what it is.ac3340 wrote:I think they are delaying the processing of applications in purpose, I mean it doesn’t take more than a hour to find out you are eligible or not, then why does it take too long surely they cant have more than 10000 applications , we have accept the fact that Foreigners are not welcome here ,
Actually if you pay for the premium service, the Home Office can process your application for indefinite leave to remain within a few hours and you will get your passport back on the same day.mktsoi wrote:you know, the gnib giving out the permission to remain just like the home office in uk give out the permission to remain. if home office can decide on the indefinite leave to remain for uk within a week time. why it takes 14 months to count your passport pages in gnib? like one of the member mentioned in this site here. they might be process one application per day. thats why it took so long!!!!!!

Before anybody gets carried away - I have nothing but bad things to say about the Home Office. My wife's app for EEA visa took 5.5 months - and they only did it at all because we kicked up such a fuss. During this 5+ months both of our passports were in the home office.Dawie wrote:Actually if you pay for the premium service, the Home Office can process your application for indefinite leave to remain within a few hours and you will get your passport back on the same day.mktsoi wrote:you know, the gnib giving out the permission to remain just like the home office in uk give out the permission to remain. if home office can decide on the indefinite leave to remain for uk within a week time. why it takes 14 months to count your passport pages in gnib? like one of the member mentioned in this site here. they might be process one application per day. thats why it took so long!!!!!!

Absolutely no excuse for Ireland to take 14+ months to do the same thing! It's either utter incompetence or, more likely, a deliberate slow down to discourage people from applying.
Thats true. But I've heard that UK citizens are advised to apply under EEA rules, as at least they have the 6 months guarantee. It can take longer otherwise.Dawie wrote:Do bear in mind though that in the UK EEA applications are dealt with very differently (under European law) than normal immigration applications (national immigration law).
Unfortunately you can blame the EU directive for that because it gives the UK government exactly 6 months to deal with any EEA applications. So you can almost imagine Home Office clock-watchers waiting 5 months and 29 days before they open the envelope!
5 months in uk? is that better than 14+ months in ireland? or 30 months for citizenship in ireland or average 6 months in uk for citizenship? if you think the irish immigration is any better, i hope you dont have to go throught the same as some other foreign people living in ireland!seabhcan wrote:Before anybody gets carried away - I have nothing but bad things to say about the Home Office.

When the visa finally came they had accidentally posted us the minutes of a meeting on our case. It showed that they made a decision in one day, having only opened the envelope 5 months after receiving it.
They also stapled her current passport to her old passports through the ID page. This causes her no end of grief every time she travels "why did you damage your passport?" "I didn't, the UK Home Office did"
When we moved to Ireland the GNIB issued her stamp 4 after 10 minutes.
Oops. I'm a bit dim. Sorry.Docterror wrote:I was just being funny
Hmmm... I guess I mean that she was issued some sort of permit based on being a family member. She had been issued a visa in a UK embassy and had been told to renew/apply to home office within six months. When she did, it took a further 5.5 months to get the permit. (It was an ink stamp in her passport saying she was married to an EEA citizen, with my name written in biro. A friend commented "I could have faked that with a potato")The EEAFP on the other hand should be issued ASAP and not within 6 months.
Why are Irish authorities not limited to 6 months? I know that in France, they put you on a waiting list first before your official 6 months begin. Do they have a similar trick here?While the EU laws does say that only a maximum of 6 months are allowed to decide the Residence Card/permit applications, they barely seem to be doing so now-a-days.
My wife had her application and letter confirming residence dealt within 5 weeks few years back.Last time took 4 months and 3 weeks.I'm thinking that the Irish just have a blatant disregard for the law.
