Hi All, I have applied visit visa for my parents from Pakistan in Jan 2016. Six months had passed and it's now July 2016 but still no reply from INIS. I have contacted INIS so many times but got the same standard reply that we will get back to you in due course. On INIS website it's clearly stated t...

@Llian2345: Yes you will get the visa straight from the officer. Once you have your appointment, make sure you are in the office 5 mins before of your appointment time and they will call your name. You will present your documents and within few mins the officer will issue you your visa. alternativel...

My experience with the re-entry visa is below:

Appointment made for 8:30am

I was called at: 9:20am

Was out of INIS office at : 9:40am

So what's the point of online appointment system when you have to wait for over an hour.....

Thanks @ Zohaibmustafa

So you don;t need to get another ticket ?

So who would you show your appointment letter and who will deal with you as soon as you enter in the office ?

Hi All,

Did anyone went through the re-entry visa these days ? I have booked appointment online but still do you have to wait in the office or is it smooth now ? and still you need to get the ticket ? OR how the queue work ?

Thanks,

Best to talk to the department of foreign affairs OR to the Irish embassy. I think you have great chances to claim citizenship through your ancestors.

Good Luck

I agree with noajthan, best to get married first and than move to Ireland as join spouse visa will cost you over 6 months waiting and if you are coming here on a green card so, your spouse visa will be approved with your's one.

All the best..........

My parents applied for their c-visit 3 month visa on: Case submitted : 23.01.2016 --> Karachi , Pakistan Case received in Dublin : on 23.03.2016 --> INIS confirmed to me via email I am an Irish citizen, my kids and wife here too. This is the 5th month and no sign of their visas yet. Now sure why it ...

I think to renew your residence card you should not be absent from the state more than 90 days per calendar year and for citizenship you should not be absent more than 6 weeks per calendar year. If you are out of the state more than 6 weeks, the citizenship division will ask you for an explanation o...

Use your local embassy

The passport office took 31 days to process our younger son's passport application who is born in Ireland and is eligible for citizenship by birth. So no point booking hols in April at least....

@ Hamza2013 - Thanks for your clarification

A friend of mine parents were in the same situation what i explained. They arrived in Ireland a week before the expiry of their visa and the immigration officer extended the visa for further 90 days.

Dear All, My parents has applied for a short stay visit visa from Pakistan and they want to spend the summer with us here in Ireland. Let's suppose if their 90 days visa is approved from Pakistan on the 1st April which would be valid until 30th June. Can they travel to Ireland on the 20th June and I...

Takes about 6 month easily if you are lucky. You might need to knock the door of Foreign office Dublin few times if you want to speed up the process.

Therefore a sponsor of an elderly dependent relative will be required to have earned in Ireland each of the 3 years preceding the application an income after tax and deductions of not less than €60K in the case of one parent and €75k where 2 parents are involved. Where the elderly dependent relative...

Many many congrats ....

I would suggest to contact department of foreign affairs in Dublin for all of your inquiries...

Get an immigration solicitor - It's a complicated road for you now.

I presume this is the problem that your wife is white British (with no Pakistani roots). If she has any Pakistani roots the whole delima wouldn't even raised. They also might think if you never been to UK and she is a Brit citizen, how you both met and how did the distance relationship survived.... ...

Yes it is unfair - however, not to worry - get a solicitor and u will be fine - Its just the matter to time.

Not to worry, this is typical DOJ attitude. Hire immigration solicitor ASAP and try not to duplicate you question as below:

When I applied for my naturalization 2 years ago, I asked my manager and 2 of my company directors for reference. I got approval and it was acceptable. So find someone at work place if you can.

Good Luck
