Hi everyone! Just wanted to jump on this wagon with the timeline of my application. I just applied for EU1A to be considered a permitted family member of my EU partner. Sent the application via email (because of the COVID-19 pandemic).

Date of Application: 23/07/2020
Date of Acknowledgement letter sent: 24/07/2020
Date of Stamp 4 received: -
Date of final approval or refusal: -

I'm really hoping they will issue me a temporary Stamp 4 so that I may continue working! Really crossing my fingers here.
Hi. Were you able to get a temporary Stamp 4? How long did it take? 😊
Hi there! Nothing yet :( they sent me another email on 03/09/2020 asking me to submit by post a hard copy of my application and I sent all documentation on 10/09/2020, including a letter explaning my employment situation to see if that helps speed up the process. My current permission expires on 24/10/2020 so hopefully by then they will issue me with a temporary stamp :oops:
Wow! So it will take a long time by the looks of it. I completely missed out sending the application thru email. I just sent the hard copy straight away. The thing that worries me is, I mistakenly sent the application thru standard post. I told the person in the post office I want it sent thru registered post, I needes to right something to the packet then was served different till. I failed to tell her. 😔 My landing permission expires 01/11/2020. I can't do anything while waiting. Don't know if I can even apply for a job. There's a "no authorised work" stamp in my passport. Goodluck to us. :|

Employment situation? Have you been accepted for employment? I have an interview on Thursday and seems like I will need to tell them that I cannot even go for that interview unless there is a miracle that I receive even an acknowledgment until wednesday. 😂

Have you thought about sending them an email or a letter? I got my temporary stamp 4 and it seems like they gave the green light for it on 03/09/2020, but only wrote the permission letter on 14/09/2020. I sent them a hard copy of my application on 10/09/2020 and included a letter explaning I was employed, attached my contract and asked them to please consider issuing me the permission. So I think maybe that letter helped speed up the process.

That's great news! Congratulations. I emailed them asking if they received my application and about the confusion of sending it through standard post. Someone replied asking for information like name, date of birth and nationality. No reply since then, I have 6 weeks of entry permission left so if I don't get acknowledgement by next week, I guess I need to send the email application, just to make sure that I have an active application. 😑

Hi
Just wanted an advise

I applied for the EU treaty Stamp 4 and was given and acknowledgement letter my application final decision is 27 nov.

Are the applications getting delayed for the final decision. I had entered on the C visa. How does the EU treaty give the final stamp. Do we have to send the passport through post or do they ask to go personally at INIS office.

Your visa (I presume it's a Type C Join Family visa) is irrelevant. Once you enter Ireland, your visa is no longer valid.

You will be informed of your decision by letter. The letter will tell you what you need to do. If your application is successful, it will tell you to bring your approval letter, your passport, and maybe your EU sponsor and his/her passport to the GNIB office or your local Garda station, depending on where you live, to finish the registration.

If you haven't received a response by then, send them an email and ask for an update.

I had an appointment today with the INIS to stamp my temporary stamp 4 for which I had received a letter from the EU treaty.
When i went there the officer mentioned that since I came in on an C visa they cannot stamp me the stamp 4. They mentioned that I should have a D visa to be registered under Stamp4.

I am still waiting for the final decision from the EU treaty. The final date for the decision is 26 nov. What should I do. Should I just wait for the EU treaty department to make the final decision or send them an email regarding the appointment that didn’t go successfully.

Hmmm, when I applied, the only option was a C-Visa. When did you arrive here? If that's how it is then I am in big trouble.

Can you clarify whether you came to Ireland on a Type C visit visa or an EU Type C Join Family visa?

If you have a visit visa, the officer might be correct not to give you a temporary permission, citing genuine concerns. If you are here on a Join Family visa, there is no reason that the officer does not give you this permission.

If you have a Join Family visa, you should definitely ask to talk to a supervisor. EU treaty family members cannot get Type D visas, so it is bullocks if the officer said you should get a Type D visa.

You should also send an email to the EU Treaty department citing the concerns above that the officer did not know his/her job and has wrongfully rejected your permission.

Are you based in Dublin or not? My feeling is that quite a few officers outside of Dublin don't have a clue and simply do what they want to do.

You dont have to be worried. Type C visa (EUTR) is the correct one to entry. I also came with that type of visa and got the temporary permission already. The final decision should be expected to come really really late especially during this pandemic.

I just checked my visa and it’s Visit C visa type tourist. Is it a worry as I already received an acknowledgement Letter from the EU treaty.

If the approval comes will the GNIB stamp the stamp4 for me. And does the passport need to be sent to the EU treaty rights office or do I have to go to the GNIB to stamp the final approval.

I am a bit worried that I may have to leave the country as I have my daughter who is also EU and schooling here, and with the panademic I really feel that going out to change the visa will take a long time.

She just clarified that her visa is a tourist visa so completely in a different situation.

I was under the impression that if I can apply for EUTR even if I am on a C visa. And the only reason that I ticked on the tourist category as my EU spouse was not traveling with me. I have received the letter of a temporary Stamp4, so will the Immigration deny me the stamp on my passport.

And also wanted to know if I can work with the temp letter that I have received.

You cannot work until you are registered.

That is not a valid argument in any sense. There is no requirement whatsoever to for the EU Spouse needs to travel with you. The vast majority wouldn’t, as their spouses would have already been in the state.

You can, in theory, come on a visit visa and then apply for EUTR. However, you would need to clearly explain the situation at the border, so that the border officer can register you in their system in the correct category.

If you told the border officer that you came to Ireland for tourism, then you were clearly intentionally misleading the officer. You also intentionally cheated to the visa officer when you applied for your visa, and you lied to the border officer when you arrived in Ireland. Therefore I can see why the local registration officer did not want to register you.

The officer can (and will) raise a question to the EUTR department asking the legitimacy of your permission in the state. Be prepared to answer the difficult questions.

You can, in theory, come on a visit visa and then apply for EUTR. However, you would need to clearly explain the situation at the border, so that the border officer can register you in their system in the correct category.

If you told the border officer that you came to Ireland for tourism, then you were clearly intentionally misleading the officer. You also intentionally cheated to the visa officer when you applied for your visa, and you lied to the border officer when you arrived in Ireland. Therefore I can see why the local registration officer did not want to register you.

The officer can (and will) raise a question to the EUTR department asking the legitimacy of your permission in the state. Be prepared to answer the difficult questions.
Thanks a lot of your reply and really appreciate, I was asked at the border and I advised the officer that my Eu spouse is working here and I would be looking at residing, and the officer also mentioned the me that yes you can excercise your rights.
I have my minor daughter studying here so really daunt the option of having to go out of the country to change the visa and with the current COVID situation I am really reluctant to travel.

So just wanted some kind of advise if I can speak to the officer explaining them my situation and has anyone had got a Stamp4 done while on the C visa tourist.

If you have told the office at the border, and they allowed you in on the basis of joining your EU spouse, then you should be able to register. You should talk to the officer explaining your situation.

Can you clarify whether you came to Ireland on a Type C visit visa or an EU Type C Join Family visa?

If you have a visit visa, the officer might be correct not to give you a temporary permission, citing genuine concerns. If you are here on a Join Family visa, there is no reason that the officer does not give you this permission.

If you have a Join Family visa, you should definitely ask to talk to a supervisor. EU treaty family members cannot get Type D visas, so it is bullocks if the officer said you should get a Type D visa.

You should also send an email to the EU Treaty department citing the concerns above that the officer did not know his/her job and has wrongfully rejected your permission.

Are you based in Dublin or not? My feeling is that quite a few officers outside of Dublin don't have a clue and simply do what they want to do.
Shall I be concerned in my situation? Mine was C Visa EUTR (Other) A bit worried as I am with my minor daughter so I need to be able to work soon. Otherwise we might need to leave if I need to wait that long... 😭
You dont have to be worried. Type C visa (EUTR) is the correct one to entry. I also came with that type of visa and got the temporary permission already. The final decision should be expected to come really really late especially during this pandemic.
That's great. How long did it take for you temporary permission?

She just clarified that her visa is a tourist visa so completely in a different situation.

I have received the letter of a temporary Stamp4
If you already have a letter granting you temporary stamp 4, the visa you came in on shouldn't matter? How can the immigration officer refuse you the temp stamp 4 if INIS has already decided to give you that?

Is there an app to take an appointment for first time registration? I have been trying to take an appointment but no luck.
