Thank you so much for the information. I really need LUCK!
But I really wonder how this country works.
I like to share my story when I first came here.
When the first time I applied for my student visa, I phone Irish office to ask how long it takes to process and i was told it only takes no more than 10 days. But when i submit all the documents, i was told they brought up new regulation and it takes 6-8 weeks now: twisted:
After I booked my flight and paid the tuition fee...I couldn't believe that I had to wait and would miss my course. Since I had tourist visa, I came in meanwhile waiting for my student visa. Then I arrived on time for my course, my college told me they will manage my visa with GNIB, till almost December I was told GNIB was too busy, I had to go in personal.
First time: after queuing for 3 hrs for the no. for GNID I was told NO, I had to go back to my country. I left with tears... because it is ridiculous that I am in the country and they want me to go back and send the document from my country to Ireland. I don't see the difference that i am here bringing my documents personally which is not acceptable.
I wouldn't go home for this stupid thing, so few days after I went to queue and try again, this time I was told I have to get my student visa in the other side (where people apply for re-entry visa) so I went to queue again for the ticket ( I queue 2 time today for 5 hrs) finally it was my turn, but the F*cking stupid girl shouted to me: GO AWAY, IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE RE-ENTRY VISA FORM. I didn't even get chance to explain what I want. I don't want to stupid RE-ENTRY VISA FORM
I tried to explain, the end she shouted to me: GO AWAY. GO AWAY
I left that window with TEARS, and tried to talk to any supervisor, I was lucky the guy looks after the tickets machine came to me and asked me what happened. I was crying and explaining to him my situation. Then he went into the re-entry visa office got the supervisor. I explained to the supervisor my situation and also mentioned that the girl shouted to me even before I said anything.
She went into the office and came back to me say, I should queue in GNIB, re-entry visa can't give me the student visa unless I register in GNIB for GNIB card with Stamp 2
So I quad again ( This is my 3rd time on this day) Luckily, I met a patient guy, he went to talk to his manager and came back to me with a student visa sticker on my passport and GNIB card with stamp 2.
I left the office with my hand shaking holding the student visa sticker, GNIB card with stamp 2. I cried loudly on my way home.... finally after all the effort.
Now I believe luck is important but DO NOT GIVE UP NEVER EVER.
I got refused first, I went in agin agin and again.
I want to THANK YOU all you guys responding the queries on this website that really encourage people to hang on and spirit suport/ solid support= helpful information for all
