LTR are processing january 2011 and prior applications at the moment, so you could expect to get ltr approximately 6-12 months after applying.
Sorry for the legislation part. it is actually an administrative scheme at the moment.9jeirean wrote:agniukas wrote:under current legislation, you can apply for LTR once you COMPLETE 60 months on green card. application before the 60months are complete will not be accepted. you have to be in employment at the time when you apply and at the time on decision.

Pardon my pedantry, but the current LTR scheme is not enshrined in any legislative instrument yet but rather an ad-hoc administrative scheme put in place by the previous minister for justice to remove the need for people who have demonstrated employment ties with the state in the form of 5 years residency on employment permit specifically Work permit or now defunct Work visa/authorization). http://www.inis.gov.ie/en/INIS/Pages/Lo ... _Residency

Local immigration officer informed me that I may try applying for LTR when I got stamp 4 extension for one year last month. I dont understand.

You can apply for Long Term Residency at any stage, it is a matter for the Dept of Justice if it is accepted.

I am afraid, that is the situation as at today. However if you have a child who is an Irish citizen, then you may try the Zambrano option.professorguy1 wrote:Thanks a lot for every one who responded. So I have to wait for another 2 years to apply for LTR or naturalization unless the bill is passed.
What kind of answer is that? Irish made public service as usual.professorguy1 wrote:I received a reply from gnib this morning regarding my query.
