GNIB Soon to expire . . pending Irish Naturalisation

[jcclarke_24]

Hello,

I am hoping you can assist. My husband has been in Ireland for over 5 years and based on him being in Ireland on a Stamp 4EU Fam Visa, we applied for his Irish Naturalisation in January 2015.

My husbands GNIB Card (5 years) is due to expire early July and we have not yet received his approval letter for Naturalisation (and nor do we expect it in the near future).

What do we need to do to get him an extension on his GNIB Card (during his naturalisation approval process)?

Thanks so much

Hi,

Do you mind me asking when did you get the second stage letter so I can update the 2015 Timeline?

For reference, I applied on the same date as you have.

Cheers.

This person asked a question of utmost importance and needs an urgent answer/advice but you are here again replying with another irrelevant question! That's so unkind of you mate!

Assuming you are also in Ireland and are either working or studying, you can either submit form EU1 again or form EU3 (both to request the extension of his Stanp 4 EUFam). In either case you husband should receive a temporary 6 months stamp 4 a few days after they receive the application.

Jcc I am in the same boat than your husband I am Stamp 4 EU with expired 10 days ago .

I applied for retention and had a temporary Stamp 4 for 6 months in one week because I am working.

I sent the copy today as I received my second stage letter few days ago. I now hope to be part of the July approval as many .

Best of luck

Hi,

I have applied for citizenship 7-Apr-15, my GNIB going to expire in July 15.

Should I wait or just send a copy of new card without them asking for it ?


Thanks,

I sent mine this morning without them asking.
Now Now I am wondering how the application usually goes if you're on temporary Stamp hopefully it'll be fine .

No worries. Even if the Stamp 4 is a short term one it still is completely valid it doesn't affect citizenship applications. I won't cause any issue unless for some reason the EUTR application gets declined and the naturalisation process takes longer than usual.
