http://www.inis.gov.ie/en/INIS/Pages/WP070000243). How long will it take to process the application?
Applications can take up to 12 months to process. Applications are dealt with in chronological order of receipt.
Thanks. Yeah I know this already, I was just wondering from people who have been through their process, once their application was approved, did they receive a stamp 3 or stamp 4?fatty patty wrote:Hi monife, it said here for undocumented spouses of Irish processing time is around 12 months...

I dont think the applicant is given any type of stamp at all/not allowed to work while the case is pending as compared to spouses of EU (who are given 6 months temp EUFAM4) it could be different now.
Why do they issue stamp 3? Is there any way to compel the department to issue stamp 4? What can you do with stamp 3, I know you cannot work but can you study?agniukas wrote:i'd stay, if the application is approved, stamp 3 will issue. not sure about the current/actual processing times though
In your previous quote, you said they issue stamp 3. Perhaps it was a typo?agniukas wrote:i'd stay, if the application is approved, stamp 3 will issue. not sure about the current/actual processing times though
I had also thought they issue stamp 4 to spouse of Irish nationals but then I remember hearing somewhere that for people with no current permission to remain, the DOJ issued stamp 3 in some cases.agniukas wrote:who told you that they issue stamp 3? i have never heard that spouses of irish get stamp 3...
People married or in a de facto relationship with Irish Citizen gets a stamp 4. Maybe other family members get a stamp 3 (i know some fathers of citizen children - long before zambrano, got a stamp 3)Monifé wrote:In your previous quote, you said they issue stamp 3.

Yes you are right. Spouse of Irish national applicant's are not given any stamp while they wait for their application to be decided. My questions were for when the application was approved.fatty patty wrote:I dont think the undocumented applicant is given any type of stamp at all/not allowed to work while the case is pending as compared to spouses of EU (who are given 6 months temp EUFAM4 regardless of their status).
My wife was in same situation (undocumented and married to Irish national). We got Stamp 4 and only had to wait 10 months. That was in 2009 though so not sure of current processing times.Monifé wrote:Hi all,
Just wondering has anyone recently applied as the spouse of an Irish national (with no current permission to remain) and if so, how long did it take?
Also, for anyone who applied (at any time) when they had no permission to remain in Ireland, did the DOJ issue you with a stamp 3 or a stamp 4?
If issued with a stamp 3, is there any way to compel the department to issue you with a stamp 4?
Look forward to your replies
sorry i got the wrong impression i thought you were asking before the approval. while case is pending no stamp....after successful completion of case its stamp 4 yearly for 3 years then till the expiry of passport.Monifé wrote:Yes you are right.

Anyone?Monifé wrote:Just bumping my old thread to see has anyone recently got approval for spouse of Irish national (having previously been undocumented)?
If so, how long did it take?
Almost waiting 4 months. Really hope it's not much longer. I know they say it can take up to 12 months, but if they can process a citizenship application in 6 months (which has much more paperwork and investigation involved), I am really hoping they can do the same with this. There cant possibly be that many spouse of Irish national applications that would cause such a delay.
We asked the Department how long it was going to take and they said current processing times are 9-12 months (and that they were currently processing April 2011, this letter was received before Christmas) but when we first applied in September, the first letter they sent us said the processing times were 6-9 months.
Yes. The Spouse of Irish National Unit is dealing with it.Irisheddy wrote:I think it depends on which department is dealing with it. They say that marriage to an Irish National does not grant automatic right to reside. So if one part is undocumented i would imagine they would have to refer it to the repatriation department first.
Have you been told which department is dealing with it?
I'm sorry but I don't think that is correct. From my research of the issue and of other peoples experiences and stories, the only time your file will go to the repatriation section is if you are subject to a deportation order or if you are applying for humanitarian leave to remain or subsidiary protection.Irisheddy wrote:Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but if that is the case you can expect your file to be referred to the Repatriation department. I know someone who was undocumented, got married and applied to Spouse of Irish National Dept for residency.
All that happened was that after waiting for six months they got a letter saying marriage to an Irish national does not confer an automatic right of residency and that the file had been referred to the Repatriation Department.
On the bright side he was not deported and hopes to get residency eventually. It is just a case of being patient.
I am sure you and your partner will be successful eventually
Is this the GNIB stamp or the stamp on the passport? I have the permission to remain stamp on the passport but there's no type of stamp. My GNIB card has the stamp 4.
