Hi All,

After 13 months long waiting, I received my approval.

Application Based On: Stamp 4 EU FAM
Applied On: 1st week of January, 2016
Application received On: Middle of January, 2016
Acknowledgment: Nearly after 4/5 weeks from the application submission date
Second Letter: 4th of November, 2016
Advanced Stage: 4th of January, 2017
Approval: 27th of January, 2017
Euro 950, 2 Copies of Passport Size Photographs & GNIB Card sent on: 6th of February, 2017
Invitation Letter: Waiting

I had a conviction, I was in the court in 2010 for overspeeding, got 4 penalty points and 120 euro fine. I paid the fine on the same day I went to the court. I mentioned it on my application and attached the proof of payment. In the middle of December 2016, I sent a letter of remorse which I believe helped to keep my application moving.

I am wishing a good luck to everyone who is waiting for their approval.
