haven't heard anything but really keen to know if anyone's heard anything about this.

The department has been extremely slow with responses to even renewals of stamp 0's

the contact email is not even responding.....

thanks

congratulations, we're waiting for a response from department as well and we applied/appealed around the same time frame. I'm an Irish citizen so (for some reason) that makes it much harder......

Hi, everybody, my parents recently (a month ago) got permission to remain and got a stamp 0 with the usual caveats that they weren't to avail of any state benefits, etc... Funnily enough they just got (both) a public services card with a free travel pass as they're both over 65. They did not apply f...

I got approval last year, sent card + 950 (me and my wife's) and also I emailed to check they had received it, which they replied that they did but I still don't have the invitation letter.

I travel every week for work and I asked the immigration officer before I sent my GNIB card and they gave me the following advice. Always carry a copy of your GNIB card so that they can validate it in the system (which they did the last 2 times) Always carry the letter or a copy of the letter of app...

Hi.... Me and my wife have just celebrated our 5 year anniversary of being in Ireland and thus would like to apply for citizenship. I currently have a stamp 4 (post green card) and my wife has a stamp 4 (because of irish baby) My first question is how much does a lawyer charge for "certifying" the c...

my brother in law has gotten a reply that he will be indeed entitled to a temporary stamp 4 while the finalised authorisation is done.

Thanks again and I will undoubtedly be posting when I apply for citizenship next year.

Hi, me again. Brother in law got married, sent docs, got acknowledgement letter and went to get temporary stamp 4 while application processes. In the GNIB he was told there was no such thing as a temporary card and that if he wanted he should continue his employment at employers risk. Apparently the...

thank you very much, he did not get a refusal he got asked for more information the first time and then just received the acknowledgement and this letter said to wait for 6 months and not to contact before the 6 months are up. The letter does not say anything about temporary arrangements unfortunate...

Hi guys, issue is like this. My brother in law got the typical acknowledgement from the eutreaty rights applciation that it will take approx 6 months to review and respond to the application. Before he had gotten a negative result because of not enough information. Now he's sent in all the proper do...

Hi. My wife and myself will apply for citizenship in january after we have the 5 yr residency time rule covered. I've all the residency requirement with a work permit, then a green card and then a stamp 4. My wife has been under the spousal permit (Stamp 3) for this whole time except from earlier on...

Hi, case goes like this. Brother in law (non-eu) and his girlfriend (EU) applied for de facto relationship and sent tons of stuff over. The only thing they don't have is a document to prove the've been living together for over 2 years. The INIS wrote back and asked for either a marriage certificate,...

Quick question, my wife and myself both have stamp 4's can work and everythings ok (my wife just got her stamp 4 under zambrano). We will be applying for naturalisation in January 2012 and hopefully will become Irish (like our son) next year. In the meantime my wife wants to go back to work and my p...

Guys, just came back from the gnib, wife got the stamp 4 gor 3 years. They also asked about a letter from the gp, or creche , or immunisation booklet to prove that the child is resident.

Thanks for all your help.

I've had really good experiences with translate.ie

is there any site or documentation available to backup the eu fees for non eu people living for 3 years in ireland? tks!
