I meant 60k apps in a period of a couple of years, not just one year.
Whatever it is, they need to do something asap.

Received a further update on numbers from another Dail question (again, not yet published): Previously it was: 2015 & earlier: ~580 undecided applications 2016: 763 vs 13,018 total 2017: 2,787 vs 11,776 total 2018: 8,203 vs 12,724 total 2019: 2,556 on hand And now: 2015 & earlier: 563 2016: 753 vs ...

I see the schedule of Dail but there is nothing for court ruling in this week

Just tells how lazy INIS are - A lot of people have postponed their holidays because of this (including myself).

INIS and this particular minister are constantly lying to people.

Maybe the rules have changed now.

Previously it wasnt a problem. So shouldn't be an issue. I know people who got married and went to GNIB after one or two years of expiry of their student visas and didn't get asked any questions. I am not a 100 percent sure about now, but if they do come up with any silly questions, just tell them t...

The new minister seems to be a super lazy person. I remember how they were issuing approvals exactly after 6 months not long ago, but now they dont seem to care. Someone really needs to drag them to high court again.

Guys, I spoke with my lawyer, he told me that there will be no approval until they figure out what to do with this new law. I am on second stage from June as many of you here. This entire system is a bloody joke. In every other EU country if you apply for citizenship it takes maximum 6 months to ma...

Your initial 6 months of temporary review stamp should also be counted here.
Also make sure you deduct any periods longer than 6 weeks of holidays from your application.

Thanks for letting me know about your experience guys.
This is just unbelievable how they are treating the applicants.
Really dodgy department.
No idea when this agony will be over for the applicants.

Has anyone heard anything from INIS recently? I seem to have sent them a couple of email and it has been months and I don't seem to have received a response. Wondering what's going on? Are they ignoring all emails? If so, they should at least dedicate more time on sending approvals. Looks like the w...

I think they still can never deport you as your new spouse is Irish. You should double check with a solicitor to see what s your best option in this case, but find a real knowledgeable one. A lot of them dont know themselves.

It s strange how a ruling from an irish court can be based on definition of a word "continuous" from oxford dictionary and not common sense, clear facts and human rights. How can you stop or restrict any person from travelling just for the sake of irish passport. I think this simply shows how blind ...

I think it s the applicant only who should not have claimed any government assistance such as social welfare etc. It s not the spouse of the applicant. At least there is no such question in the application form. They only ask this relevant question from the applicant. If anyone has had a different e...

I think they dont like it when someone on stamp 4 EU fam applies irish passport for their child even if they are entitled to do so. I know a person who did this and got a letter of revocation after a few months. This is totally insane. How can they stop people from doing so? They dont care if the ma...

or at least raise this issue with the TD's in their areas.

Applications for Pakistani applicants seem to be getting particularly delayed, and for no reason. This is discrimination - I have a good few Pakistani friends who are in the same situation. INIS are constantly lying that the applications are being prepared for submission to the Minister. This is ext...

It's sad the way they are treating everyone so strictly and unreasonably.

I dont see a problem.
I work for a multinational and we have employees who get paid from ireland but they are in UAE and other countries.
You dont even need to bring this to immigration s attention as far as I think.
Simply fulfil the requirements and submit your application for the permit.

So does that mean they won't send you second stage letter if any of the mentioned conditions are not satisfied?

Applied in Nov 2016. Rang today to get an update the lady on phone said waiting Foreign Agency Report to further process your app as I said the has been said several times before as well, she then said we have requested a fresh one on 13th feb. While they sent several letters before that your app i...

Hi all, I am just wondering, for all those who are attending the next ceremony and believe that the system and processes they have to follow to get a decision on their application should be improved, how can we provide the department collective feedback to make sure that they take it seriously and ...

INIS have clearly started lying. My friend is a solicitor and he said anyone who has to wait for one year or more, can take Inis to court. It would cost around 1500 euro max for the whole process, but I think it s worth it. It is utterly ridiculous and disgraceful the way they are treating people no...

This is the second piece oF VITAL INFORMATION that I got today when I went to see Solicitors with my brother in law. He is a hard-working field engineer who must travel to the UK every week for work. He has been refused because of the 6-week rule. The rule has no legal standing or grounding in law ...

I wrote to Inis asking for an update. They have replied to me with the following template. I applied to citizenship for more than 1 year and 6 months ago. ----- Thank you for your email. It is recognised that all applicants for citizenship would wish to have a decision on their application without ...
