Changing of status from dependent of an Irish Citizen child to spouse of an Irish National

[Johnnah]

Hi,

So I am changing my status as a dependent of an Irish Citizen child to a spouse of an Irish national. I was told by my local immigration that I need a letter from department of justice in order for her to change that. From my own understanding on the website, I just need to go to my local immigration office bring my marriage contract and other documents then they can change my status. I just don't want to pay the 300 euro Irp card again to be honest.

I was told by my local immigration that I need a letter from department of justice in order for her to change that. Instead of asking me for a copy of my marriage contract she asked for my husband's payslip. From my own understanding on the website, I just need to go to my local immigration office bring my marriage contract and other documents then they can change my status. I just don't want to pay the 300 euro Irp card again to be honest.

They can, but it does not mean they will.
If for whatever reason they don't want to make a decision on the spot, they'll refer you to SOIN unit in ISD, so you'd need to fill out an application and all.

If the Immigration Officer is not satisfied that you are meeting the conditions of your permission, you may be referred to the Spouse of Irish National Unit.

Get the required doumcents and send it to SOIN unit; read more on the website (https://www.irishimmigration.ie/my-situ ... al-scheme/ ).

With 26 pages of application form and all the documents needed I think I'm just gonna stay on my existing status.
