EU3 Form complications

Update. Went on Friday to GNib Dublin and they gave 4 month extension there and then.

brilliant so no more stress now.

No stress for couple of months

Got letter today from EU office saying they have received the documents and a decision will be made in due course.

Will this take 6 months?

well depends, i got my application approved in 6 months altogether.

Got the Permanent Residence approval for my wife today. I’m U.K. citizen. She is on eufam. Eu3 applied in April 2018.
Hopefully will get her citizenship approval soon as well.

Congrats so less than 1month inside the 4months they grant her the 10yrs now ?

Thanks. We went to Dublin gain office for 4 month extension in nov . And today received the approval for 10 years. Lucky day today for us . Went to Burgh quay website and got the appointment for Feb in the first try.
My guess is the extension was given by Burgh quay office and the stamp she received was stamp4 not eufam stamp 4. Her original visa was expiring this week. So eutr would have reviewed and approved it

How long was the application process then ?

Applied April this year . Exactly 8 months

So I submitted EU3 application in the beginning of November. Got acknowledgement earlier that they received our application.

I am thinking whether to contact them now and check the progress given it's 4 months now. What's your opinion?

Do u still have running residence?

Yes my wife got the 10 year stamp on passport and received irp card as well .(Actualy 9’years stamp as passport is valid for 9 years only.)

Yes, current stamp4 EuFAM expires in June.

And my passport has validity until 2024.

I see. We are in the process of buying a house and for mortgage I need to have a minimum of 3 months of stamp 4. I will contact them next week.

Got acknowledgement that my EU3 application is still under decision and will be informed in due course.

It also says "it may be open to you to request temporary permission to reside in the State pending a
decision on your application, if you have not received a decision prior to expiry of your current GNIB".

Does this mean I need to apply directly to the local Gardai office or EU Treaty rights office is going to send me a letter stating to extend my permission for few months?

If you are in Dublin book an appointment with inis for the week when your current stamp is expiring . If you receive the approval by then, you can take the letter to get the passport stamped. Otherwise ask for the temperory extension there. This way you will avoid any gaps between stamps that may cause complications later during citizenship application

I don't live in Dublin. Do I visit local garda office? And do I need to take any documents with me?

Check the procedure with your local office for booking appointment and any wait.

It's a drop in service without any booking requirements.

But I am wondering how would local garda office know that I am waiting for EU3 decision? And do they just extend it by few weeks?

I guess they will have record on their systems . They usually extend for 4 months.

My Stamp4 EuFAM is going to expire in 4 weeks time and I haven't heard anything back from the EU Treaty office.

Is it recommended to wait for another 2 weeks before contacting local immigration office?

Has it been 6 months since you sent your application, and did you write to ask them what is happening?
