I applied in the middle of January. A month later sent an email requesting support from them as my residence permit was expiring on the 14th of February. I received the same automatic response and a couple of days later, received a formal response telling me applications and acknowledgments are taking longer due to the number of applications they had at this moment. They say responses are taking between 8 - 10 weeks instead of the 6 - 8 weeks they give in the explanatory leaflet. I'm in the 9th week right now, so I expect to receive a response soon.Capico wrote: ↑Tue Mar 10, 2020 7:46 pmThanks for replying.We did all that,hopping to receive an answer soon and i wish the same for everybody who'is still waiting.littlerr wrote: ↑Tue Mar 10, 2020 1:07 pmAcknowledgment letters are sent very quickly. You shouldn’t need to wait for 3 months. Did you send by registered mail? If yes, send the tracking number to INIS and ask them for an update. If no, send an email anyway, but the chances are that your application is lost and you would have to start a new one.

Their last update about processing times I can find was in May 2019 and it's talking about 6 weeks for an initial acknowledgement letter.
Our timeline for EUTR1
Date of Application: 18 December 2019 (received according to AnPost tracking
Date of Acknowledgement letter sent: - still waiting
Date of Stamp 4 received: - still waiting
Date of final approval or refusal:
If refused Reason for refusal:
Since then we did send 2 more letters asking for a status. One at the beginning of February and one last week since we're really concerned that the application never arrived or got lost. I don't want to wait for nothing.
Still hoping for the best

Hi All,
I hope you can give me an advise regarding this :
My husband Applied for Eu1 on 12 December. Sent everything from Dublin but No acknowledgement letter received yet.
Is there someone having same situation. Any advise/suggestion please.
Many thanks

Yes, it was for my non-EU wife, she's already in the country on a different visa
Are you in Dublin? If yes probably but not sure. They will tell you on the letter where to go. For us it was our local Garda HQ, we went straight on the same day in the afternoon. You will need to come with both partners, both of you with an ID + (in our case) proof of relationship, we took our Irish marriage certificate.javierquin wrote: ↑Wed Mar 18, 2020 6:52 pmIn order to get the temporal stamp 4, what do they prompt you to do in the acknowledge letter? Is it necessary to make an appointment online via the Burgh Quay registration office website or you can go to this office just with the letter and additional documentation and have your passport stamped?
Thanks for the info, and yes I'm living in Dublin, my question was because of the useless online appointment system they have when you need to go to the immigration office, right now the nearest available dates are for May!!the_tux wrote: ↑Wed Mar 18, 2020 9:59 pmYes, it was for my non-EU wife, she's already in the country on a different visa

They asked some basic questions (just checking your details) and updated the file, the only problem was that the same letter gets sent out to them as well and they didn't have it in the system yet. So he actually asked us to come again in a few days to finish everything up. We'll go tomorrow and I'll post an update afterwards. We did call them today to make sure they're open for walk-ups after the Covit19 shutdown.
Good luck everyone, it's all a big mess right now and I heard that INIS is currently shut down as well for virus reasons.
latest update: Today was easy, took a few minutes and the temporary card should arrive within 2 weeks.

Hi adiba169,adiba169 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 30, 2020 6:07 pmHi All,
My husband is Eu citizen, I have applied for Eu-stamp4 for 5 years.
Date of Application: 2nd September 2019
Date of Acknowledgement letter sent: 18th October 2019 with requested documents (copies of my passport and my husband's passport too) which were sent on 19th October 2019.
Date of Stamp 4 received: 21/10/2019 until 01/06/2020
Date of final approval : still waiting even though a decision due was 01/03/2020. Guys do you know, if anyone is in the same situation should I be concerned? My HR keeps asking about the visa situation and I have emailed Eu-Treaty and they have been saying that I have a temporary visa until 1st of June and decision has not been made. What is a chance of not getting the visa? This coronavirus and visa situations are giving more stress. Please would you mind giving any thoughts in relation to this issue? Many thanks

I am having the same situation as you, only difference is I applied little bit later than you.
Date of Application: 30th September 2019
Date of Acknowledgement letter sent: 23rd November 2019 with more documents required (My EU partner's most recent tax credit certificate, proof of relationship, proof of address & her travelling history since she reached Ireland) along with tem stamp 4 received from 23/11/2019 to 29/06/2020
Date of final approval: decision supposed to be due on 29/03/2020
Have been really stressful about this as well and having no updates on this is just so frustrating..
The only thing we can do now is wait I guess. Keep us updated if you have any news!
The review is because your EU1A was refused? What was the reason they gave for refusal? Hope you don’t mind me asking.Saliabara wrote: ↑Mon Apr 06, 2020 8:25 amIs anyone recieveing any reply on their application recently during the crisis?
Applied 06/03/20
Type Eu1
Ack. Letter : pending
As i already applied before marriage for EU1A
And am on a review but i dont know if this application(EU1A) is still valid after marriage so i applied for EU1
P.s the marriage is done in Ireland in registartion office

This looks to be the expectation. That you will just have to wait until your stamp expires. It will interesting to see what happens then. Maybe they have re-prioritised at the current time based on temporary permission expiry??Anhmai wrote: ↑Thu Apr 23, 2020 11:57 amHi,
May I ask anyone receive the final decision recently? Deadline of my application written in the letter is 10 April 2020 but til now have not heard any from INIS. I emailed them already and got the reply: “since your temporary permission up til 10/07/20 ... a decision on your case will be issue in due course.”
- I applied EU1 form and the office received - 11 Oct 2019
- First letter from INIS to grant temporary stamp 4 and request some docs - 2 Dec 2019. In this letter, it is stated that the decision is due by 10/4/2020
- I got stamp 4 temporary residence card at the Registration office on 5 Feb 2020. Valid til 10 Jul 2020
Clearly it is over 6 months since the date I submitted my application. I wonder if anyone has similar experience. Should I keep waiting until my stamp is expired?
Thanks everyone.
