IBC (Zambrano)

[Rocky0]

I applied on May 8th 2018 & got the acknowledgement by May 15th. Later they asked further documents which I provided and got their latest acknowledgement by June 15th. Afterwards, no communication from them. They didn’t ask for DNA yet. My Solicitor said Zambrano cases took 3 to 6 months but after reading this blog, I doubt his time period.

hello brother did you get the decision for ur zambrano case? if yes how long after did u get the decision? thanks

Hi everyone DNA test is compulsory?

[Liton]

can anyone help me understand the way I should proceed with the Zombrano judgement ? I'm a Non Eu citizen currently living in Ireland legally as a student. I'm father of an Irish born child who's gonna get her citizenship through her mother who's also a Non Eu citizen but has lived here in Ireland with stam 4 for the last 5 years. My daughter has the birth certificate and I'm named as her father. She was born 2 month before I arrive in Ireland. From my research I have seen that i should attend the local Garda office with my child and the mentioned documents i.e child birth certificate, my IRP card and passport etc and if they are satisfied the will upgrade it to stamp 4. Has anyone got stamp 4 that way and is that correct ? What satisfies them that I meet the Zombrano judgement ? N.B I live with my daughter and the mother of my child .

Is there anybody in this group who is waiting for Zambrano application decision for more than 6 months.i applied in June last year and have not heard anything except acknowledgement letter which I got after 1 week when I applied.please do share your experience.

I'm of the opinion that your partner is only one of the very few people who got their applications granted very quickly. I applied for mine on the first of April last year and only got granted in December.
