[emmanueljames]

Hi guys: A lady told me on the phone this morning, after asking me for my name & address, she said I will get a letter in the next month, I assumed is July, of which my application is now one year. A lady told me last week that my file came back already from the minister. My application is now a year with Inis. Mean while my solicitor is sending them my new GNIB copy tomorrow & is going to ask them for an update.

Guys what do you think? Pls share experience. Thanks.

@ emmanuel, I also called this morning and a lady picked it up after giving her my reference nbr she said to me a letter will be sent to me asking for more information but letter won't be sent until like 3 weeks.is that possible or Inis is just saying anything to everybody. Cos u were also told a letter will be sent to you in July.

[emmanueljames]

@ kofiasenji, I think Inis is currently preparing some approvals which r due to be sent out as you know, they also sent out to some people to request more doc.
I believe now till month ending , letters will start rolling out.

@ koffiasenji. I said it yesterday that is like Inis is preparing some approvals at the moment. My anticipation is correct. We are going to see more of that until end of this month.

Me husband recive 2nd stage letter on 16th of May but I recive a letter yesterday said that me aplication will be cancelled in 14th day as I didn't send them the documents
I try ring them yesterday alk day but no answer , I send them a email and this was the answer :
Hi Daniela,

relevant area. This office will be in touch with you in due course.

Hi Guys,

I'm totally new her but with the same issue as yourselves.
I made my application in 2011 had a conviction (which I am not proud of) and my application was deferred for 18 months. Well 18 months went past in March and I contacted INIS via email. They came back asking if since my last conviction I have in anyway been in trouble or broken any laws and what my current employment status is. I replied and got acknowledgement of receipt of the documents I sent stating that I have been of good character as that was my one and only offence after 15 years in the country. It was drink driving of which my license was taken off me for a year and that is all resolved now. Well it's been months now. Have made numerous calls to INIS and all I get is my application is been processed awaiting to be sent to the minister, last call was a month back.

Anyway, I know most of you here have abided by the laws of the land and of good character which is great and I applaud you all for that but right now I feel like I am been penalised twice for a drink conviction in 2008. I had my license taken off me for a year and paid the fine.

I felt the need to share as there might be someone on here with the circumstance as me.

Goodluck to everyone and it has been great following all the post on this board!

There is no harm is resending them those documents. Its your application and you should take care of it. There has been many cases that they (department) has requested the documents again even if you have submitted it initially.

@caveman

You will get it one day mate....best of luck...

Since you've been given a 14 day ultimatum, I'll strongly suggest you resend the required documents quoting your application reference number to the relevant office handling your case. Time is of the essence so act fast and sensibly as it'd make your application to be processed further. Good luck.

There's nothing to worry about. I believe you've served out your punishment for the offence which was the 18 month deferral. It is in my opinion that the process of your application will commence from March, therefore, it may likely take further 6 - 9 month from March to get your approval but in the end you're sure to getting approved this time. Watch, pray and be hopeful from now till August/September to get your approval. Best of luck!

@emannuelJames, if you don't get a correspondence from the INIS regarding your application by the end of the week, I'll suggest you immediately contact your local TD so as to make some representations on your behalf. I wish you luck and myself too.

[emmanueljames]

@kingdonman: I have contacted my solicitor today, and I also sent him copy of my GNIB renwer card, he Said he will write to them tomorrow and ask them for an update. Hopefully this time.

[kofiasenji]

@ everyone, I just called Inis now to enquire about my application status which the lady told me it's at the middle stage now she said it's further processing and that they will be looking at it again soon before it goes to the minister and get back to me. I asked her if any document was needed she checked and said no but when I called on Tuesday a lady told me they will be writing to me in 2 to 3 weeks time asking for more information so I don't know who or what to believe now.i have passed second stage now 4 months and half month now and no one have asked for additional document .Can additional documents be asked after such a long time or it will go to the minister.please anyone with any experience should please help me out by explaining.Thanks
