I am waiting for my letter that will allow me to get a temporary Stamp 4 while my EUTR1A is being processed. I am applying as the de facto partner of a British National residing in Ireland. EU1 applications may not be taking as long perhaps. I am unsure where my application falls under the processing times to be honest but I find it highly unusual that applications from August have been processed already.littlejunkie wrote: ↑Fri Sep 16, 2022 11:53 pmYou are talking about Visa application or IRP card application as a family member of EU National? I know people who applied in May for a visa have not received a decision yet but people who applied in August have got a decision. If they follow the queue system why haven't they processed visa application in June July. Website shows 04/06/22
I understood your situation. But normally acknowledgement letter shouldn't take more than 8 weeks -- at least the agent I used said so. Have you tried to contact EUTR1 Office? If you submit your EUTR1 Application in June, I assumed you only can stay in Ireland for 3 months. What's the plan if you don't receive acknowledgment letter before end of Sept? Can you stay in Ireland without receiving acknowledgement letter and temp Stamp4?CatBrom wrote: ↑Mon Sep 19, 2022 11:22 amI am waiting for my letter that will allow me to get a temporary Stamp 4 while my EUTR1A is being processed.

I have a valid Stamp 1G (Third Level Graduate Scheme) that is valid for another year. I just renewed it. When I recently contacted treaty rights, they said my application was in the queue. My application was sent in at the beginning of July. 8 weeks is clearly an estimate and perhaps it is taking longer because it is based on a De Facto relationship and they must review the evidence we sent in.weiyiqiu wrote: ↑Mon Sep 19, 2022 2:50 pmI understood your situation.

Best of luck!No, I cannot afford a solicitor. I’m already having to pay for my wedding in two weeks which is a lot of money as you can imagine. As our case was uncomplicated (we have been together for over a decade, living together for now 7 years, bills and proof we live together, photos, evidence of trips, letters from our family, etc) I did not expect issues or needing a solicitor in this case.
Good! Happy to see that! You will get it. Dont worry too much!CatBrom wrote: ↑Wed Sep 21, 2022 3:10 pmAn update: EU treaty rights just told me that “correspondence will be issued within the next two weeks” after I said that it’s been 11 weeks and I have yet to receive written correspondence regarding my application and others have heard back but I have not. Hopefully it’s good news. I’m worried that my application will be rejected for some absurd reason although I don’t know why it would be.
Thanks! I think since I told them that I know others who submitted after me received notice they are maybe getting off their butts about it.weiyiqiu wrote: ↑Wed Sep 21, 2022 3:45 pmGood!

This isn’t quite true, the waiting times on the visa decision page shows different times for join family visas and the family members for EU, British, and Irish citizens (three categories). These are the treaty rights applications.DaiDo wrote: ↑Thu Sep 22, 2022 6:50 amBe careful, these are two different things you are taking about.
One is the Visa to enter Ireland to join your partner. these are the ones they are processing from June.
Ws soon you get the visa and you have arrived in Ireland you need to applyfor the EUTR - Stamp4 EUFAM.
Thats the permission to remain. Unfortunately there are no dates published for processing time the eutr forms. But according european law, they wouls have MAX. 6 months to process. Ireland often is over these six months. hence they issue the temp. stamp 4
Unfortunately as these are different types of applications that require different considerations, things will have different processing times. I agree it should not take considerably longer per type of decision though but they may very well have different people working on different types of applications.littlejunkie wrote: ↑Thu Sep 22, 2022 6:26 amNot sure how Irish Authorities work. According to the website they are processeing Visa applications according to the date they receive but i see people who applied in August have their application processed and those who applied in May/June still waiting for a decision. What a joke? Accelerated Basis has altogether different meaning. How can they seperate families for so long? The regional offices are processing about 1000 applications in a week, not sure how many are processed by the Dublin Office. But looking at the dates it looks like if you are a family member of UK/Irish National, you get priority, even if this category requires more documentation than under EU Freedom of Movement Directive category.
Really Sad
