Got reply from INIS today after 6 weeks exactly.
My wife got acknowledgement letter and now she can extend visa while they are processing application- 6 months.
So far no requests for additional documents.
If there is, would it be now or at some later date ?

Yes ,only 2 landlords. That`s about it, I explained that I did not have 3-4 year old bills ( who on earth keeps these - its totally ridiculous ?!!! ), but my bank account statements and statements from Revenue ( joint tax statement)were good enough I thought to show my activity in the state. There ...

Double post

I believe my case is straight forward, lived and worked here for almost 8 years no gaps in employment, married for 8 years. This is what I sent : • Application Form • 2 Passports • Photos for me and wife • Marriage Certificate • Lease • Letter from Landlord • Letter from previous landlord • Landlord` ...

If they needed something they would have asked for. As I said the "problem" I have is no acknowledgement of any kind. Previous posters mentioned usually getting passports back or requests for further documents within a month. I have sent request for my my passport and letter last friday so my wife ...

Christmas parties and Holidays most likely that is why all delays!

agniukas,

agreed, but going back to my original question I think the return of passports and letter that person have applied should be simple.

zafarzafar80,

There is no new law so speculating about it is not helpful.

agniukas, That is what I hope for. Return of the passports with letter that I applied so I can extend my wife`s visa while they are processing. No queue jumping ;) Last time DOJ returned our passports within a week with letter that we applied Why on why they try to make difficult when it`s so simple ...

they not going to give you temporary stamp 4 for 6 months in gnib burgh quays automatic. ---------------------------------- That is why I requested letter and passports. I guess they can check reference number if I applied or not ?!! If I have a letter that I applied for PR and our passport they ...

Why do it tomorrow when I can do it today ?- No point waiting !!
So I did,
Sent registered letter requesting our passports back and some kind of acknowledgement letter.

Yes, 6 months is processing times but they should have returned our passports. My understanding is and states on application form that they will send documents back. Website mention 1 month. So after 38 days no sign of documents/passports. If I had our passports I`d go to Burgh Quay and ask for ...

I applied 5 weeks ago for PR with EU3 form for my wife.
How long usually takes to get back passports and Acknowledgement Letter ?
They state on INIS website it takes 1 month .
Her visa/GNIB card expires in 23 days.

Thanks for that, The evidence I have prove without doubt that I have been in employment continuously for 7 or so years which in itself is enough! I did go on PRTB website and downloaded current registration list for my area. My place of residence is registered but I am not sure if in my name.!? I ...

After reviewing website I come to conclusion that is best to apply for Permanent residence card for my wife. Documents that I have: P60 for 7 years except one for 2010, lost in post. P21 from revenue for last 5 years, it would cover 2010 Bank statements for last 5 years, electronic, could print let ...

My wife`s five years stamp 4 expires in next few months. She could apply for a Irish passport next year. In a mean time I have to apply using EU1 form, so she is legally here before she can apply for citizenship. I have looked at EU3 form but the documents needed are just ridiculous. Don`t want to ...
