Ireland Spouse Visa Processing Time Pakistan

[hussain252]

hey umairks123 feel for you guys having to wait for so long for a reply.. fingers crossed lets hope for a positive outcome...soon as I hear summat regarding outcome I will update.

[Sincejune]

We applied for EUTR visa nearly 8 months ago and applied for JR in December. Up to now judge twice delayed the cases.
Yes my solicitor told me that judge will decide on time MOJ but he will not reveal his decision. She said expect something about the judgement by the end or March.
Let's see what judge decide today.

hi I been reading all ur posts I applied on 21st January 2016 for a accompany spouse visa of eu citizen.. ive seen posts where ppl have been waiting since may... so I phoned a solicter in Dublin asked about JR. she told me that there not taking any ore cases as the moment because the highcourt has had so many requests they have instructed the solicter to bring once case forward as a test hearing to decide on how long MOJ can take regarding application process. she told me the hearing is on 19th feb but she isn't clear if they will make a decision or the jugde could delay. just thought id make everyone aware about it.
another thing ive noticed on the inis.gov.ie on the visa decisions some applications under eu treaty with ref starting with 192 then it jumps to 220 so am assuming they not doing it in any kinda of order..
the best thing to do is really contact the solicter or keep emailing visa office I think..

hello hussain252, i applied for join spouse visa on 19th of January 2016 at gerrys isb. yesterday i emailed visamail to get an update and they replied back today saying,
"Thank you for your email of 18/02/2016. Due to a large increase in the
volume of visa applications from Gerry's VFS to the Irish Consulate in
Karachi the time taken to check these applications has extended.

Therefore, it may be several weeks before your application will be
forwarded to Dublin."

Its been a month n they havnt yet recieved my application at Dublin! Second thing i wanted to say is that they definitely dont follow the ref numbers chronologically or they are not necessarily allotted in an order rather i think they are given randomly. i got my reference number on 14th i think n appointment on 19th n it starts with 239 and i checked the visa decisions right around that time there were decisions for numbers ahead of mine which technically isnt possible.

Its really depressing seeing all the people here waiting for so long. I wonder if anyone has gotten their decisions earlier than the processing times mentioned on the inis website. Please guys if any one has gotten it earlier do tell us, that would bring a little hope!

Hey RidoRinka when my wife went to Mirpur Gerry she got told the application will take upto 8-10 months. That's why I contacted the solicitor in Dublin as it clearly states on the visa guideless that EUTR applications should be dealt withn 4 WEEKS.
as mentioned in previous post there was a hearing today regarding the long delays lets hope for a positive outcome so we don't have wait so long.
regarding the ref numbers ive been checking just the accompany/join spouse of eu citizens there only like giving 3/4 answers a week this week I noticed to got refused with ref starting 192 n one got approved starting 220 last week there was 3 approvals one was 192 and other 207 n I think I'm jus wondering the guys that have applied in june what there ref start with??

hey sincejune please do let us knw regarding ur outcome as soon as u know thanks

Just a quick question that's slightly off topic, as David Cameron has decided to stay in the EU, the referendum will be held on 23rd June 2016, if the public votes to leave the EU, will that make a difference to the cases we make, for example, my husband has applied for Irish visa he will use his treaty rights there to gain entry into England, but if we are not apart of the EU will this way still work, my husband also applied for Irish visa in September 2015, still not heard anything only know that the case has reached Dublin on 21st October 2015, it's a long wait, a previous user mentioned something about a decision being made on the delay on eu Irish visa cases, anyone got an update on that and is there anyway I can check myself thanks.

hey ZaheenR
regarding the eu referendum if England votes out then I'm assuming there will be no treaty rights left but not sure when that takes effect.
So the sooner they make a decision regarding the long delays of EUTR applications the Better.
stil not heard anything regarding have emailed solicitor but no reply..
if u want to get more info u can check sinnot solicitors Dublin go there website and check the blog for delayed visa applications for accompany/spouse of eu citizens at the bottom you can email them n they will get back to you regarding what steps u could take next.

There are test cases awaiting in the high court.

I can't see the high court doing anything other than to rule that the actions of the Irish government is unlawful.

Over 7000 applications are awaiting consideration.

This is far too much .

[ZaheenR]

Anyone got an update on the hearing for EU case delay and the £18600 hearing at Supreme Court, the results are in a lot of cases have been refused for EU and only one EU case approved they are taking so long I think it has something on do with us MAYBE or MAYBE NOT leaving the EU that's why they are delaying the cases

'Due to the influx of joint family applications it is taking long. At present Dublin is sorting applications from May 2015. In, Pakistan we are currently sorting family applications from October and sending those.'

Offially Garda are investigating abuse of EC treaty rights cases. In reality they are just helping Theresa May stop what she considers 'undesirables' (not net contributors) into the UK.

hello every one. I know of someone who had applied at gerrys on 1st september n got spouse visa today.but that was non-eu spouse on work permit for his non-eu wife. I'm worried sick and frustrated cz my documents are still at karachi consulate after 2 months and they are saying they are processing october applications n sending them to Dublin. Thats outrageous. they are causing unnecessary delay as inis will consider the date they receive my application in Dublin. has this happened to any body else. what can i possibly do to make karachi consulate forward my application??
