should the department/gnib have done that? ie give child a stamp 2 orone similar? as you are aware, holders of work permits then to be allowed to have their families with themLost Soul wrote:Thanks for your assistance.
I arrived on foot of a work authorisation. She arrived as a dependent. At Dublin airport they had no stamp for minor dependent so stamped her in as a student. At that time it made no difference as time spent as a student counted then.
I only queried it when the law changed to exclude student time.
The system leaves a lot to be desired and is never thought through properly before being rushed into law.
There is no provision at all for grown up children, who studied in Ireland, of immigrants who have subsequently become Irish citizens.
For citizenship by descent, parent must be an Irish citizen when the child is born.walrusgumble wrote: your daughter should apply for citizenship on basis of parent being irish. maybe wait for a few months (how long have you being a citizen)
jesus irish soccer teams under jack charlton had lads, who in no way one could believe were really irish, clinton morriss anyone? (the auld cockney only fools and horses (tv) kind of guy) they all got citizenship and playing due to irish grandparents
There's a provision in the law that would allow this and it is called 'Irish Associations'. So it is correct to state that she should apply based on the fact that her parent is an Irish citizen.JAJ wrote:For citizenship by descent, parent must be an Irish citizen when the child is born.walrusgumble wrote: your daughter should apply for citizenship on basis of parent being irish. maybe wait for a few months (how long have you being a citizen)

That is indeed positive, and provides hope for many people who are in a similar situation. Did you add a cover letter to her application? And did you add your certificate of naturalisation?Lost Soul wrote:Thanks again for all the helpful replies.
We sent the application in on Tuesday and today received a reply, very quick three day turnaround.
They asked for a letter from my daughter's college to confirm her attendance and copies of my passport from the time of her arrival in Ireland to my naturalisation.
Seems positive. Will send it in and keep you informed.
Thanks again
Well thats good news! I wish her the best of luck and that her application will be approved. Keep us updated. I know of a couple of families who are in a similar position.Lost Soul wrote:We posted the application back on Tuesday together with the information requested.
Today we received confirmation that the application had been placed in the queue and been given a 68/*** number.
This seems to be confirmation that time spent in Ireland as a student is indeeed counted as qualifying once you prove Irish connections.
Good news!
