Yes, had you applied a few months ago, you would've received one. I was issued with a Stamp 4 for 6 months back in Feb. I'm American and my partner is Dutch. I didn't have any issues getting the stamp 4 either.With the current changes, she would definitely be issued with a stamp 3, especially if the GNIB is planning on sending a letter to those who are still waiting for a decision. Although, I don't see this happening. If they are able to contact all those applicants, then they should be able to process applications in 2-3 months tops. Very few receive a decision before their 5th month.thesmiler wrote:Yes Ben, I understood she has no legal right for the Stamp 4. However they would probably give one if we had applied, gotten it back and went to the Gardai tomorrow as this is their current procedure as stated before on the website.
I'm just asking for practicalities: Would the Gardai grant Stamp 3 or 4 if we went in with a application received in May 2010, but only sent back to me in June 2010 (which I could expect applying now by seeing other posts on this board). Or is this all a matter of speculation?
It seems getting married makes a difference in terms of law, but not in terms of practicalities here (until this is overturned at least).
Thanks. That's the kind of gut feeling I have as well. A minimal chance that something might be better applying now, but not enough to cancel travels.Yes, had you applied a few months ago, you would've received one.

I would complete your travels and apply once you return.
Ok, was just wondering..thesmiler wrote:I am German.
If the DoJ go ahead with their intention to change to Stamp 3, expect that page to be updated.thesmiler wrote:Ah Ben, I see what you're saying now.
I just reread http://www.inis.gov.ie/en/INIS/Pages/EU ... employment (which was never changed) and see it mentions "you and your EU national family member can bring your ... to your local Immigration Officer who may provide you with a 'Stamp 4' endorsement in your passport ..."
I can't answer that I'm afraid, I don't know.thesmiler wrote:You're saying since my girlfriend is not a family member she never had a right to a Stamp 4 according to this. What was the practical matter in the past though? Did partners like family members get Stamp 4 endorsement as well or were those denied?
It seems kabuki already answered this, and yes, it seems they granted Stamp 4 in the past, but probably won't in the future.Ben wrote:I can't answer that I'm afraid, I don't know.thesmiler wrote:You're saying since my girlfriend is not a family member she never had a right to a Stamp 4 according to this.
