I am a 26 years old man and a Pakistani citizen.
I moved to ireland in 2003 on a tourist visa and over stayed my visa and worked here since then till june 2009. I paid taxes on my PPS number since 2003 till June 2009.
Since june 2009 i didn't work till now and still haven't applied for any social benefits.
In June 2009 i got married to my Irish girlfriend and applied for residency and got a positive in Jan 2010. I have a stamp 4 now.
Recently my mother passed away and my father was left all alone back home. Giving the current political climate in Pakistan, he applied for a tourist visa and came over here on 20 of Feb 2010. His visa is expiring on 15th of March 2010. If he stayed over his visa, he will be illegal in the country.
My father is about 60 years old and is retired since 2001. I am supporting him financially since then.
My Question
Is there anyway,
a) i can extend his visa to stay longer
b) can he legally live here because i have a stamp 4 here on his current visa which will expire on 15 of march 2010
c) is there any visa he can apply so he can join me
