SireSommy69:
Guys, I need solid advise... I am yet to get a visa for Ireland, but I checked Ethiopian airways and Qatar airways, their fares from Lagos to Dublin are relatively cheap now, less than 500k for January.

Should I go ahead and book a ticket even when I don't have a study visa yet? What if I don't get the visa (God forbid), will I be refunded?

Advice.

omapere:


Some of the '49' numbers are most likely Join family.

Also, I submitted early March, no decision yet.

FfeJ:


Nothing yet, I just want to know if they are even making decisions on Join family visa so I can estimate the time I may get a decision for my husband’s application. No one is saying anything. How can they update 50 decisions and non are join family. When students are no longer applying, so what exactly is stoping them from attending to family?

Olaiyatunnex:
Lemme respond to Femo7 In the policy document, CSEP join family visa is clearly stated withing 6 months, what about that? I have a Malawian whose family will join her, she has booked their flight. The Nigerian lady applied for her husband before the Malawian but the Malawian family is on their way already, Nigerian stil waiting on queue. Took the Malawian about 2 months after application to bring her fam.

Dpiano:
Please who knows about Holmes institute Dublin and is the school accredited??an agent sent me their admission offer...he wants me to pay my school fees through him..I don't know much about Ireland..anyone who can help with helpful information...I would be grateful

1. Every airline has a maximum weight for bags. It doesn’t matter the size of the bag, all that matters is the weight.

2. Check with the airline you are using. They will be the best to inform you.

FfeJ:
Oh Gosh this is disheartening. What can we do to resolve this? Eveb if it’s just to let them know we are tired and want change. I am ready to go to any protest regarding this. Discrimination and racism in this 21st century should not be swept under the rug and letting them get away with this. How can they be giving Indians and Philippians JFV in less than 1 month. Are we not humans like them? This is so unfair.

Olaiyatunnex:
Jfv are processed in Abuja and not Dublin office. I have an Indian that joined his spouse in a month this year. What about that? Don't use the list from Dublin office to judge.

Cyntopath:
Goodmorning House,

It doesn't seem as if these guys are processing Join family visa, this one we have not heard any testimony since. Am just thinking aloud.
I pray this struggle to end someday.

JosephYemsol:
This is awesome. Me too. Moving from construction to data analysis, then data science as a semi-stop.

Im on the self-taught train but i have quite a number of networks helping me.

There is a road path that i researched for myself, as well as people who might want to learn on their own.

1. Programming for data science with python - udacity

2. Python 3 - codecademy

3.IBM Data analyst professional certificate -coursera

4. Data visualization with tableau- coursera

5. Data science - databricks (basic basic )


Please note that all of these courses are premium (paid)

So far, i v certs in just the first 2 and i v a handful knowledge of python (pandas , numpy), sql, tableau, github, and excel for analysis, well enough to get my first job (entry level).

With the Will and determination, one will go places...

Olaiyatunnex:
No news from this week visa decision? Abi una no wan share. Let's hear from anyone that received a decision for join family visa this week.

Olaiyatunnex:
VFS Global even said that the apostilled is not compulsory. I can confirm to you that nurses in Ireland are taking the delay matter up and pushing for something to be done urgently. Their colleagues from India, Philippines etc get their join family visa within a month or two, in fact I know one that recently moved her family within a month but Nigerians, Ghanaians processed in Abuja take months with low approval rate. You too can join the fight, tweet and tag Ireland embassy abuja, INIS and other relevant bodies you feel necessary.

michealekene:
Hello people

So I have a friend preparing for her journey to Ireland. Via Turkish Airline, but the challenge is luggage. The 23kg x2 capacity isn't clearly enough for clothes, shoes and most importantly foodstuffs.

Can an extra 23kg box or 15kg be accepted to mk it 3 bags � any additional costs associated? How much ? Especially when it has to do with Turkish Airlines.

Prosper123:
Please for a person going for nursing job, who knows the documents to submit for visa. Is it different from the ones for those going for studies

bigmills:
For me though, I didn't show my sponsor's bank statement.
I only showed my sponsor's payslip to show that after paying my fees, she can still take care of herself.
If you can add the bank statement, you can but I don't think its necessary going by the rules.

It's important as @princeadex04 mentioned to show a strong link between you and sponsor.

majorbravo:
Please can a CSWP holder’s spouse apply for JF visa before the CSWP holder has travelled to Ireland?

princetx:
January intake? Are you sure about this? I thought almost all universities in Ireland admit only once (September) a year?
How much do you currently have that you want to save before January?
You will have to pay €11,000 for tuition fee
lodge €7000 for Edubond, then maybe have about €7000 in your bank account as proof of funds for visa application. But honestly, this part where after one has lodged €7000 with Edubond and still present bank statements of €7000 is discouraging me.

The total should be around €25,000 which is above 11 million naira. Accommodation, flight and other things not included. Mmh. Na wa ooo.

You do not have to show proof of funds twice. The Edubond should be enough but it should not mean that your account should be totally empty after activating the bond.

If you are being sponsored however, your sponsor must show that he/she has funds left over for their family upkeep after sponsoring you

8BitGee:


No, just an educated guess as explained previously.

princetx:

Oh really? The funds will be refunded? Its cool then.

But if you show Edubond to the embassy, do you also need to show your bank account statement?

princetx:
This Edubond thing looks great. But, what about a situation where one is still refused visa after paying for Edubond? What happens to the money?

The money will be returned back to you

majorbravo:

Thanks a lot for your detailed insight. Do you remember if you had to attest the marriage certificate when you did yours? Was it the case before the new rules, or this attestation has become the new rule since January?

Also, please how can my wife apply directly to the Dublin office? Did the consultant help with moving it to Dublin too? How can I reach the consultant?

majorbravo:
Mighty glad to find this thread after a long search. Kudos to the creators and contributors for putting this up. May we all get our families reunited soon.

So here’s my situation.
I am a CSEP holder and have recently applied for work visa to relocate to Ireland. Due to the stories of long waiting times for Join family visa in Nigeria, we have decided to apply for JF visa for my wife now so she would have a shorter time to join me after I eventually move.

My questions:
I read somewhere that Marriage Certificates are meant to be apostilled/authenticated before being submitted for visa application. Is this absolutely necessary, if so, how do I go about it and how long does this usually take?

For those who got the JF visas after 3 months, what did you do different?

ExpressBooking:


Be advised that you require at least 3 years Post study continuous residence in Ireland to get permanent residency which is stamp 4 and above. That is assuming after your study, you spent 1 year on stamp 1G and was able to get an employment under critical skills employment permit, then after 2 years on critical skills employment permit, you can apply for stamp 4. If you are so lucky, you may get critical skills employment immediately after graduation from school

chy55:
Please house, I am in my forties. Is it possible for me to secure an admission in an Irish School with my HND to do a top up program. Also how possible is it for me to get permanent residency after the program.

Thank you

selenium:
I will be applying for my Ireland study visa soon and it's not really clear what support documents are required.

I've seen on this thread someone talking about attestation of documents by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and National Population Council.

I can't find any of such here: https://www.irishimmigration.ie/coming-to-study-in-ireland/what-are-my-study-visa-options/how-to-apply-for-long-term-study-visa/#guide

From those who are more experienced and have walked this path, are there any local requirements one should be aware of?

E.g I was born before 1992, will I need attestation of DoB from NPC?

Efe07:
Hello guys ,

Just some advise from anyone who is aware of critical skill employment permit work conditions.

Is it advisable for someone working with critical skill employment permit with an employer to take up a casual job apart from his main employment ? This fellow is working full time with his main employer where the work permit is issued to and he’s hoping to do a part time casual work .. can this be an issue when he wants to transfers to stamp ? He will be applying for join family visa for the wife soon as the sponsor, they need his Irish bank statements of 6months … if he’s doing a casual job aside his main employment, do you guys think the salary coming from both employers showing in his bank statements be an issue with immigration? I will appreciate yours response guys and God bless you all for the good work here

sirgigs:
