Appointment for status enquiry of EU1 application in dublin office

Hello Everyone ,

we submitted EU1 application for my husband and its been more than 7 weeks . There is no acknowledgement from EU Treaty rights division or any letter for temporary stamp. My husband has lost 2 job proposals from employers in this month due to delay from Stamp 4. So we are very anxious about the status of his file.

The EU Treaty rights division is not responding to emails properly.
May i know if it is possible to meet the people from EU Treaty rights division in the Dublin office to enquire the status of his file ? does it require appointment ?

Please suggest your opinion. Thanks a lot.

No, you can't meet the EU Treaty Rights case workers even if you are able to book an appointment. EU Treaty Rights does not deal with public at the counters.

I wouldn't suggest e-mail communication for anything official either, most of the time the person replying has nothing to do with the actual application and the answer is basically a template answer for everyone.

My recommendation is to send a letter explaining your current situation and attaching those job offers so there is some validity to your request to expedite the initial review, even if there is no movement in his case it will force them to at least acknowledge your letter and hopefully someone will look at the case.

My wife is in a similar position, she applied at the start of November and hasn't had any formal acknowledgement.

We know that they have the case in the system because they called us up to confirm her name (we used the Chinese name order but it's on the system under western order).

We wrote to them but got no response. I called them and spoke to a lady on the phone. She said not to worry and that we probably wouldn't get the confirmation letter for a long time due to them being backlogged. She also said that we didn't need to worry about the Stamp 4 in terms of being able to stay in Ireland, but obviously that doesn't help you if you need it for work.
