I went to immigration offices and they told i could work while i was waiting for my response which i am still doing but i haven't found something on their page that says i can do it. The only thing i found on the page is, on the section of "change of status" says "from stamp 4 to stamp 1 is not applicable" and i am confused now. I havent got the answer from immigration yet but i wanted to ask you if this is what you did in the first place or something similar?

3 months, but I’m just waiting for the stamp 1, the letter I got from work permit says “if you successfully get the permission to remain in the state on your own (stamp 1) then you can try again and apply for work permit” I showed that to INIS and they told me they couldn’t change that there I needed to send my documentation to UNIT 2 Dept. and they will change that for me with no problem but they didn’t say anything about the change of status from stamp 4 to stamp 1 wasn’t applicable and the INIS web page says that so im not sure if what they’re saying it’s totally correct and at this point I don’t know what else to do, I’m not sure that in case they say no would be possible if I can leave the country and come back with masters and get a stamp 2 as student. They don’t seem to have much information in the offices neither the page.
@LMO: let me be honest with you, its not that easy.. as I said I try all these things almost 2 years ago. went to 4 to 5 different solicitors. its clearly mentioned on the INIS website you can't move from Stamp4 to Stamp1.. also written on DBEI website that first take permission from department of justice... department of justice will say you to apply retention so permissions transfers on your ownself, which is retention of rights EU5 form..LMO wrote: ↑Tue Sep 03, 2019 1:28 pm3 months, but I’m just waiting for the stamp 1, the letter I got from work permit says “if you successfully get the permission to remain in the state on your own (stamp 1) then you can try again and apply for work permit” I showed that to INIS and they told me they couldn’t change that there I needed to send my documentation to UNIT 2 Dept. and they will change that for me with no problem but they didn’t say anything about the change of status from stamp 4 to stamp 1 wasn’t applicable and the INIS web page says that so im not sure if what they’re saying it’s totally correct and at this point I don’t know what else to do, I’m not sure that in case they say no would be possible if I can leave the country and come back with masters and get a stamp 2 as student.

Thank you! Hopefully I can get some good news or a least a way to remain in the state!finalversion_2k wrote: ↑Tue Sep 03, 2019 1:58 pm@LMO: let me be honest with you, its not that easy.. as I said I try all these things almost 2 years ago. went to 4 to 5 different solicitors. its clearly mentioned on the INIS website you can't move from Stamp4 to Stamp1.. also written on DBEI website that first take permission from department of justice... department of justice will say you to apply retention so permissions transfers on your ownself, which is retention of rights EU5 form..LMO wrote: ↑Tue Sep 03, 2019 1:28 pm3 months, but I’m just waiting for the stamp 1, the letter I got from work permit says “if you successfully get the permission to remain in the state on your own (stamp 1) then you can try again and apply for work permit” I showed that to INIS and they told me they couldn’t change that there I needed to send my documentation to UNIT 2 Dept. and they will change that for me with no problem but they didn’t say anything about the change of status from stamp 4 to stamp 1 wasn’t applicable and the INIS web page says that so im not sure if what they’re saying it’s totally correct and at this point I don’t know what else to do, I’m not sure that in case they say no would be possible if I can leave the country and come back with masters and get a stamp 2 as student.

I don't know about de facto, they also do retention or not,, that's why i didn't reply on your post.. I also don't want to demotivate you, if you got Stamp1 I'll love to hear from you, and this will help everyone else as well..
Why you did not apply for Eu5 first and get the 1year processing application time ...then if they refuse you go for review another 1year before you now apply for work permit ...
Apply for Eu5 straight up man they will give you stamp for 8 month work permit and euf5 are different department you have noting to lose someone I know did same thing they give him stamp for eu5 for the processing of the application
What do you apply for with EU tr you 're waiting on ?Mouldi wrote: ↑Sun Oct 06, 2019 4:51 pmI Lost my job last week because my stamp 4eufam expired and no answer from the EU tr. If I apply for EU5 will they give me a stamp that allows me to work. My company is happy to take me back if I manage to get a stamp. Thank you so much for responding to all my questions.

They sent me a letter asking for documents for the last 5 years because the lawyer mentioned the change in my situation. I provided all the documents except for the last 2 years since my wife wasn't here. They sent me a letter to acknowledge the receipt and I am still waiting
I had the exact same issue as yours back in 2017.Mouldi wrote: ↑Sun Oct 06, 2019 4:51 pmI Lost my job last week because my stamp 4eufam expired and no answer from the EU tr.
