I would say you must read the speech of Minister Alan Shatter and you will find out according to new fashion there are very few or no checks for spouse of Irish citizen, whereas a regular application have a long process. When I was in this process it took almost 18 months to INIS to have my Garda report.
This is BS. My husband is still waiting (sept 09 app) for his app to be further processed as a spouse of Irish citizen. I'm sure they must be doing some SERIOUS (not) checks to take 3 years to get to this stage

hmmm .. you have a lot more faith in INIS than I ever will. After 6 years of dealing with their and DoJ's ineptitude I don't believe a word they say. They continually flout Irish laws and EU legislation, misinform the public and provide inept and tardy responses.

I don't think you should offer such advise without knowing this for sure. It's very likely that a new application would nullify any previous application. Why should they allow 2 applications based on 2 different grouds to proceed. I would assume the 2nd app would nullify the first.

Again, this is a big gamble without having confirmation that both applications could proceed simultaneously.
Eastend wrote:On other side if INIS end the regular application process after applying new application as spouse, definitely they will use the completed reports of regular application to support new application. I mean regular application will be a part of new application as a spouse.
Again, I think you have WAY too much faith in INIs procsses and logic
I appreciate your comments and I feel you are the one who knows much more than what I know but we need to keep in mind about changes we have recently in INIS department.
Minister Alan Shatter is the man who has credit to make successful changes and according to his speech during second ceremony "INIS have processed more than double number of files in just four and half months as compare to whole year of 2010. In last five months more than 10,000 applications were processed and CoN or yellow forms were issued"
No question there are huge changes and my whole suggestions were based on new fashion and best efforts of Alan Shatter. BUT
1. We need to remember still its only five months since Alan take over the charge.
2. He has to use the same staff to process the applications those were working in previous government with very little progress.
3. Lot of examples we have where process was quicker and people got their approvals in much reasonable time.
4. How INIS department is working currently, I believe during spring next year there will be hardly anyone who have more than six month waiting time.
I got my approval after 4 years and I think we don’t need to keep the darker side in mind but also need to look at the brighter side as well. There is hell amount of light at the end of the tunnel now as compare to last year.
At the end what I wrote was suggestions and if they appeal OK and if don’t just ignore them.
