Hello,
I had an appointment today at Waterford Immigration Office to convert my visa from Stamp 2 to Stamp 1g because I have now passed my Level 9 (masters degree). I went with the required documents including the results from university, passport, stamp 2 IRP card and insurance.
However, during my appointment visa officer looked at the stamps in my passport which shows that I travelled to UK few times since my arrival in Ireland and this lead to questioning like why I will visit UK for my eyes treatment when I have private medical insurance in Ireland. I could feel the officer was not happy about it and started enquiring about my address in Ireland. I gave a proof of address and then the officer told me that they don't think my landlord knows about my residence in his property. I got asked to come back tomorrow with a letter from landlord confirming that I lived in his properly since my arrival in Ireland.
But I do not have an access to the landlord, I have access to the Managing Agent of the landlord who provided me with a room in property. I paid rent on time and always and lived in house happily. Having discussed this issue with the Managing Agent, he wrote me a letter confirming my stay at my address.
However, this letter is written by my Managing Agent and not by landlord. Landlord lives in a foreign country which is his home country and I am unable to approach him directly and get a letter from him for immigration. A letter from Managing Agent confirming my residence is the best I can get.
So I wanted to know if a letter from Managing Agent is sufficient to confirm my residence for Immigration Officer or not having a letter directly from Landlord can be a serious problem during my appointment.
Any advise or your views are much appreciated.
Thank you.
