i am also british citizen applied november 2015 and still no 5 years visa yet (waiting)but how come they haven granted you (march 2016 applicant )that so quick or did you apply in march 2015 year?bharool wrote:I am a British Citizen and I applied on EU1A forms for my non EEA defacto partner and three children early March.
I waited the 12-14 weeks and didn't get anything so emailed INIS and got the standard reply about delays etc. I then read on here that it would possibly be a further 8 weeks for acknowledgement and 8 months to obtain the residence card, all the while our normal lives and ability to work/travel etc are put on hold.
I was quite dismayed about this, as I know a lot of you are, so I emailed my local MEP who got onto them about my case at the end of June.
In a little under 2 weeks I had an acknowledgement letter requesting some more information. I was a little unclear as to what they were actually asking for so I emailed my MEP again, who in turn contacted INIS again. I also wrote a letter myself with some of the information but most of it had already been given with the application.
One week later my partner had a letter from INIS giving approval for a 5 year residence card, no temporary stamp, a full five year card straight away and today, after sending birth certs and proof of residence in Ireland for the children, we received the same for them.
So in total it has been maybe around 20 weeks from application to the residence card. I can't help but think that this wouldn't have happened if I didn't get the MEP involved so maybe it is something to look into for others.

You mean questions after you got your Stamp 4?Hamza2013 wrote:Hi raja,
inis asked for couple of more questions and i replied,
...
When was it?Hamza2013 wrote:Yes,
They asked more documents specifically to show parents dependency, work contract and more bills,
Hi Hamza,I think its normal to ask how parents are supported, so i justified by submission of money transfer and house hold members etc ..
