first of all tell the lady u lived there and u need letter only for justice department and tell her is not yiir problem that u did not pay taxes ...you can provide mobile bill or tax documents you can print online and passport pages that you did not leave countryCristinasfi wrote: ↑Wed Aug 14, 2019 8:02 pmHi everyone, I just received my third email from inis asking for proof of my continuous residency in the state.
I applied to the scheme on 31/10/2018 and they asked me for proof on 26/11/2018 and 06/12/2018.
As I didn't have any bills on my name Ive submitted some reference letters from people Ive known since I got here.. I sent one reference letter for each year they are asking me.. 2014, 2016, 2017 and 2018.
During this period (2014 - 2017) I used to rent a bedroom in an Irish household, but the lady said to me she can't provide me a letter as she never paid taxes..
Does anyone know what kind of information I should provide since they didn't accept the letters?
They also said if I don't submit the information in 15 working days my application will be refused on the basis of non-provision of the required documentary evidence of my continuous residency.
Congrats to you
and all the best

Did you leave the state after your permission expired?Juliogdiana wrote: ↑Mon Aug 19, 2019 3:13 amHi all, mix of disappointment and frustration here, got my refusal letter Friday, applied on 31st October, refused because I left the state for 12 days in holidays to France back in 2013, they said one criteria is, "living continuously since have arrived in Ireland", they said I have not lived continuously in the State, I am here since 3rd April 2010.
Really really disappointed for such a stupid decision, waiting near a year for that stupid thing. I bet there is no students that never left Ireland since their arrival, it is unbelievable decision.
Yes, expired in May and I traveled in September, but the decision doesn't mention that, just say because I have not living continuously, I have been back to same house and same job, they can't say I wasn't living here.Lynx14 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 19, 2019 5:50 amDid you leave the state after your permission expired?Juliogdiana wrote: ↑Mon Aug 19, 2019 3:13 amHi all, mix of disappointment and frustration here, got my refusal letter Friday, applied on 31st October, refused because I left the state for 12 days in holidays to France back in 2013, they said one criteria is, "living continuously since have arrived in Ireland", they said I have not lived continuously in the State, I am here since 3rd April 2010.

I travelled at least 4 times during this and previous year but my permission was valid all this time.
Well they don’t consider that continuous because you didn’t have permission to reenter the state. I doubt many people would risk traveling outside Ireland undocumented specifically for this reason as you get stamps in your non-EU passport upon entry anywhere else. So they are able to track it and say you weren’t here continuously. Talk to solicitor and try to appeal, perhaps they will be lenient if you state continues employment.Juliogdiana wrote: ↑Mon Aug 19, 2019 6:16 amYes, expired in May and I traveled in September, but the decision doesn't mention that, just say because I have not living continuously, I have been back to same house and same job, they can't say I wasn't living here.Lynx14 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 19, 2019 5:50 amDid you leave the state after your permission expired?Juliogdiana wrote: ↑Mon Aug 19, 2019 3:13 amHi all, mix of disappointment and frustration here, got my refusal letter Friday, applied on 31st October, refused because I left the state for 12 days in holidays to France back in 2013, they said one criteria is, "living continuously since have arrived in Ireland", they said I have not lived continuously in the State, I am here since 3rd April 2010.

I got a question from my friend, he is not in this discussion board, he asked me this question but even i was confused so i ask you guys to help him out.
The question is what does 'change of status' or 'change of stamp' exactly mean. Before he applied for the student scheme(was on stamp2), he applied for work permit and got permission letter from INIS but he never registered at GNIB, which obviously means his last stamp was stamp2 and his passport got never stamped with work permit.
Does getting a permission letter mean he changed his status or his status is only changed when he is registered at the GNIB and got his passport stamped and got stamp1 IRP/GNIB card??.
He is also waiting for his decision just like the rest of us.
I would appreciate on his behalf if you could share your opinion on his situation.
Thanks.
Why did he not register with stamp 1 permission?RnSa wrote: ↑Mon Aug 19, 2019 9:41 amRnSa wrote: ↑Sat Aug 17, 2019 12:56 pmHey guys, i am still waiting for the response from INIS. Hope they process the remaining application quickly.

Hi guys. My friend got his refusal letter today for the above mentioned reason.
Need help. Will there be any luck if he appeals the decision because his stamp never got changed and his passport never got stamped with stamp1.
Any suggestions guys??
Thanks.
This is a worrying decision for all of those who have not received decisions yet. It is likely based on the much-maligned judgement from J. Max Barrett given 11/7, which defined "continuous" (in the context of naturalization), as having never left the Republic--even for a day. You are absolutely correct that nearly every student will have left Ireland at least once during their studies, which makes the ruling absurd. The Minister for Justice recognized this absurdity, and is introducing legislation to fix the issue with regard to naturalization/citizenship (See the main INIS webpage). Perhaps that fix should be broadened to include this scheme. I'm in contact with my TD over a specific case that may be affected by this.Juliogdiana wrote: ↑Mon Aug 19, 2019 3:13 amHi all, mix of disappointment and frustration here, got my refusal letter Friday, applied on 31st October, refused because I left the state for 12 days in holidays to France back in 2013, they said one criteria is, "living continuously since have arrived in Ireland", they said I have not lived continuously in the State, I am here since 3rd April 2010.

He did not register because this scheme was announced after he got the stamp1 letter. Obviously for student scheme we get stamp4s, so any stamp4 is much safer and stronger stamp than stamp1.Lynx14 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 19, 2019 10:38 amWhy did he not register with stamp 1 permission?RnSa wrote: ↑Mon Aug 19, 2019 9:41 amRnSa wrote: ↑Sat Aug 17, 2019 12:56 pmHey guys, i am still waiting for the response from INIS.

There was someone here who was granted stamp 1. INIS refused their 4S and their stamp 1 was renewed. Perhaps this is an avenue to explore. Best to talk to a solicitor.
My solicitor thinks that we need strongly prove that this trip was a holiday proposed only, I have strong proofs on that, hotel bookings, tickets, restaurants etc.ezstreet5 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 19, 2019 12:07 pmThis is a worrying decision for all of those who have not received decisions yet.

The most troubling aspect of this is that you and I know that over a thousand applicants received permission under this scheme PRIOR to 11/7 who likely left the State for some period of time. Will those be revoked (I doubt it). So we have visas being processed under the same scheme, but under different criteria. I am totally willing to go the High Court over this (been in there before) on behalf of the person I am helping. In your case, I'm afraid that the J. Barrett decision will run against you, even in the case that your trip to France was a holiday. I'm wondering if the quicker solution is that the proposed legislative "fix" for the naturalization/citizenship cohort be broadened to include this scheme.Juliogdiana wrote: ↑Mon Aug 19, 2019 12:21 pmMy solicitor thinks that we need strongly prove that this trip was a holiday proposed only, I have strong proofs on that, hotel bookings, tickets, restaurants etc.ezstreet5 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 19, 2019 12:07 pmThis is a worrying decision for all of those who have not received decisions yet.

Even if the review is refused she thinks we can go to court to overturn that decision.
