Hi, I have posted on here several times about the problems I have had renewing my work permit. Again, first I was delayed by the Revenue office taking for ever to send me the appropriate documentation I needed for my application and now I am waiting on my work permit which is very slow. My employer called me the other day to ask me about my permit. They are entering their busy season right now and are wanting me to start soon. They were wondering about my work permit. My work permit has not arrived yet and when I called the Work permit information line they gave me no indication that my work permit would be issued anytime this month in fact they said it would probably be next month at the earliest. Needless to say my employer is getting nervous and is talking removing my job offer and trying to hire someone else. Evidently since agreeing to hire me, they have had some more applications. If they do decide to take back my job offer before my work permit is issued, what are my options? What should I do? My old permit and visa have expired but I have been granted a temporary stamp by the Garda Immigration Officer. Is it possible to cancel a work permit before it is issued and still get the money back? Any advice would be appreciated.
