I was denied refugee and subsidiary protection but I have a stamp 4 from. My marriage to an Irish National.
Does anyone know How long does It take before they give me back my passport since I was denied?

Takes about 17 months

At least the 36 months to apply for citizenship have already started counting even though I don't have the physical stamp 4 yet but according to the letter my stamp 4 permission starts on the date eof the letter

Hello. I have a stamp 4 permission letter but my passport is currently with one of the departments of the government(IPO). Has anyone managed to get their residency card without having their passport stamped yet? I have an appointment with the GNIB to get my stamp 4 but I dont know if they will give...

I am not going to withdraw my asylum appication as I still have a hope that it could have a positive outcome but I sent my stamp 4 letter to my lawyer and he sent it to the asylum office to request my passport back. Hopefully they will give it back to me. Anyway, good luck to every one and thanks fo...

Great news guys. I got my approval letter yesterday. Now I am trying to get my passport back from the asylum office so I can get it stamped. Anyone having the same problem?

Congrats Julia. I am in the same situation still , it has been 17 months now and I am still waiting . Hopefully it wont take much longer , this process is destroying me

I am in the same situation. I applied in may 2017 and 4 months ago I got a letter asking for my original documents once again. I sent it and they still have it, no further answer so far. All together it'd been 17 months await.

I also have a very good solicitor and I am still waiting after 16 months. Unfortunately there's only so much the solicitors can do

Thanks for that Julia. It's been two months now since I sent my originally documents for their last request. Hopefully we will get a response soon

Updating the post.
I am still waiting for my original documents after they asked for it the second time. They have had my original documents now for 2 months and the entire process has lasted for 15 months and starting the 16th in august

Just updating my case. I sent the letter with the documents on the 30th of may. I haven't heard from them yet and I am hoping to get the documents back soon as they usually take around a month to send it back. I am also hoping to get my visa approval letter as this is most people experience , get th...

Hey guys. I applied for a stamp 4 based on my married to an Irish National 13 months ago (I am an asylum seeker). Today I got a letter asking for some documents (that we had already sent) to be sent within 21 days in order to finalize my process. Is that a good sign?

Anyone living in Ireland and waiting for a stamp 4 from the Spouse of Irish National department? I have been waiting for 12 months now , literally checking the post every hour of the day

Happy paddy’s day folks, I feel for all of you in limbo waiting for a governments decision. I have been waiting for 12 months for a stamp 4 based on my marriage to an Irish citizen(I live in Dublin).

Hopefully by this time next year every thing will be sorted, let’s hope for better days

This makes me disgusted by this system. I will never give up, if they refuse I appeal and appeal and appeal, let's see who endures longer, I'm not letting them win

Thanks for replying and congratulations for your visa. I did every thing with xxxxxxxx, the best one I could find, I will be getting in touch with them soon to see what can I do because I really need to work by now, it's not even a financial thing anymore, it's for my head, you can't leave a human b...

All I want is to be able to work in this country so I contribute to it as I am already living here, is that too much to ask?

I have been waiting for a stamp 4 now for 12 months. I have been in Ireland for three years , live with my Irish family for more than a year now , married to an Irish citizen, perfect criminal record... What else is needed to live in this country? Go to the minister and knee behind him/her begging?

Anyone?

i sent my documents to the spouse of irish national department INIS. but if your partner comes with a visa you can go straight to the local GNIB station and get his stamp 4 the same day

Hey guys. Is there an official page for stamp 4 and stamp 4EU where we can post our cases and updates just like the citizenship process one?

You don't need a student visa, use your temporary stamp 4. I am waiting for a stamp 4 based on marriage to an Irish citizen therefore I have no visa at all at the moment and I still managed to enroll in university

Regardless of ur stamp 4 being approved u won't be able to pay European fees in most colleges as u have to have held the stamp 4 for three years minimum for that to be possible. If you can find a college that takes u with European fees, great, if not, I'd suggest that you take a part time course bec...

I have been waiting for 12 months
