I finally got an answer to my question, so I'm sharing it in case anyone finds themselves in a similar situation. Basically he has to be guided to make his mark in the box where you would normally sign, as he's obviously over 18, and we have to include a letter saying why he couldn't sign. Hope thi...

He is not allowed to work on Stamp 3. He will need to get a job offer first and either (1) apply for an employment permit in his own right (just like his wife would have). or (2) if his wife is on a critical skills work permit or a hosting agreement, apply for a spouse employment permit. Full detail...

Hi i am on stamp 4 on behalf of irish born child for nearly 4 years. After how long i can apply for citizenship.is it 3 years or 5 years i have to be on stamp 4. If you were in Ireland before you got a Stamp 4 and were on, say, Stamp 1, then you are probably closer to being eligible now. However, i...

If you do not hear from them in time you can book an appointment with passport office.. Will be more efficient.. At the appointment they would be expected to have the application signed and witnessed already. So, they will be sent back (might get an answer to their question though). i think as this...

Hi As per passport form section 8 if one cannot sign a guardian can sign on hie/her behalf hope this helps thanks This! The signature box on the right-hand side in Section 8 is probably what you should be using to sign on his behalf. I would check with the passport office to confirm this. As sugges...

Thank you for the screenshot.. Well when your passport will be ready or even when it will be printed the progress bar will be at the end..so if it's moving to step by step the tube gets fill out.. However your status is saying something different so it's moving now.. Couldn't not see what's ur stat...

Hi indianzeplin Such a coincidence your citizenship application time line and even invitations from CITZ is pretty much similar as mine.. Even the passport application time line .. But in passport status it's only received.. Not processing..I hope it will show from tomorrow is processing.. Can you ...

I wouldn’t expect to see any changes in the progress bar this week since we just lodged the application, mine says “Application received” and nothing else. They are probably doing checks now so I would wait one or two weeks to see any progress. I think the "Application received" status me...

The INIS website (see the last section on http://www.inis.gov.ie/en/INIS/Pages/about-registration-system) only says that you need to make an appointment and attend it to get a replacement. However, Citizens Info (see http://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/moving_country/moving_to_ireland/rights_of_res...

Hi Anyone know if the registration duration for GNIB / INIS registration has changed. I understand it's ordinarily one year but for spouses of Irish citizens it's renewed for two years? I too was under the impression that it is at least for 2 years for spouses of Irish citizens. However, my wife go...

I too submitted my passport application yesterday afternoon using Passport Express. A few minutes ago, I tracked the package on An Post's website using the item number that starts with "PX". I saw that it was delivered and thus decided to track the application on the DFA website. I wasn't ...

Thanks lads! Saved me a trip to the post office/garda station.

yes you are that's the latest one.. No need to worry Just quick question how did you answer the question in the passport application form... It's in the first page.. Section B Question is : Do you also wish to have your birth certificate name noted on your passport? NB: my name in the passport and ...

Hiya, I picked up an APS-1E passport form from my local post office back in February and it is Rev 11/15 . I want to submit my passport application next week and I am wondering if the form I have is still the latest revision or if there is a later one that I will need to use? Has anyone picked up an...

Hi there, Just thought i'd let you guys know that I got an e-mail today from INIS and they told me that April's Ceremony is now fully subscribed to. Ye scaremonger! :twisted: I made my fee payment a month ago and have been fairly confident that I will be invited to an April ceremony. However, your ...

Nana1, Regardless of whether your application was submitted in Sept 2016 or was submitted recently, you will most likely be expected to follow the latest application process (which requires that you submit your original passport instead of a certified copy) using the latest version of the form intro...

It might be too soon for them to send out invitation letters, considering the ceremony is still 2 months away. According to http://www.inis.gov.ie/en/INIS/Pages/WP16000022#decision, invitations are sent out 4 to 5 weeks before the date of the ceremony. So they'll probably start sending them out in M...

So not to worry you can take your wife and go to GNIB and get extended her visa. Does anyone know if one can just walk into the GNIB and get the spousal Stamp 4 now that they have the appointment system in place? I have been checking for the last 2-3 days and there seem to be no appointments availa...
