My wife applied December 16, 2019, her application was not treated until I emailed them 2 weeks ago on her behalf. FedEx delivered her passport 2 days ago. Visa approved

You need to email the embassy. Include your reference number, passport number, phone number and email address

Have the visa issue date passed her proposed visit? Please I need a reply to this it’s very important to me..what was her proposed visit date and when was the visa issued? I will be very glad and thankful if I am replied..plsssssssssss

Average wait time for study visa is 8 weeks,I waited 13 weeks for mine. Check the Irish embassy site for the average wait time for a tourist visa. I'd suggest you wait for the decision though. From my experience, if they wanted to deny you they would have..... you've waited this long already, stay positive.

Since u applied already in 3 months in advance,that’s Okay..it’s two things,it’s either the embassy may be busy will lots of application,or ur documents are taking time for them to verify..is it a single application or family? Ur application decision will be on the discretion of the Consular Officer,you can still be given if u meet the requirements provided u applied in 3 months in advanced to ur proposed trip.Thats Okay. I want to ask something because I am new with Ireland VFS. It’s been 2 weeks now I applied for Ireland visa..I noticed in my Schengen and Canada previous visa application,VFS do send me mails after 2 or 3 days of submission that my passport is on transit to those embassy,and that my application is been processed at the embassy.My Ireland submission has been up to two weeks now and there is nothing on my mail..I know u should know about this since u applied for Ireland visa,did VFS send u a mail when days after ur submission? ..please help me out,what do u think I should do before it gets late..my application is already closed to my proposed date of visit and I don’t see any mail on gmail that my passport is been processed..What should I do?

Whoops! .. Its been a sweet and wonderful experience here in Dublin this past 6 weeks..

Finally wanna share my my embassy experience and my trip to Dublin, my GNIB and PPS,
processing experience.

I remembered I started following this thread around September when preparing to make and submit my visa application which was a join spouse visa.

I gathered all documents by end of November, 26th 2019 to be precise and headed to the VFS office at Lekki early momo that day.. The process of submission was smooth though except the photocopies I made at 50 naira per page which was so so annoying, so I will advise u guys make all your photocopies before heading to VFS office, those guys there are rogues with no pity at all.

After submission, ehen! Embassy palava come start.

This is the gist! My wife got a job as a Nurse in Ireland, she left for Ireland July 2018 after a week we got married.. Came visiting me in Nigeria in May 2019 for 4 weeks during her annual leave . So she went back to Ireland pregnant with our boy � �.

So my basis of application was to join her and be with her during her delivery to welcome our son bla bla bla!.

My wife was due for delivery, 2nd week in February and and my planned date of departure in my application was January 1st 2020.

Haaa! Irish Embassy gave me tough time ooooo.. I called and called and called this people all to be giving me gist my application will take between 6 months and 12 months.. I was like Whaaaat! You mean i won't see my son until he is one or what are you guys saying. The annoying part is you can only call them between 10am-12 noon Mon - Thursday and to get them u will dial over 50 times..

Well, all thanks to my wife she was relentless, she approached her Doctor, Midwife and Social worker.. So they all gave reference letters.. I bombarded the Embassy with the letters via Email.. Still no response as at January 15th 2020.

Well i just told my wife this guys ain't forthcoming and not sure we will be together soon. This babe cry ehn! And kept saying let's not accept . The last time she went for her clinic before delivery, her midwife saw how she was all looking not happy and sad, and wrote another letter again oo, this one handwriting sef not even type to send to embassy cos they can't call the embassy to interfere in visa aplication but only write to them..

Na so I forward the letter again to Irish Embassy ooo, and called them again.. But luckily for me there was this pleasant lady that picked my call that day after almost 100 times of dialing before reaching them.. She felt for me and said you know what, I should send another reminder mail instantly, that there is someone in the office presentlythat she will forward the mail to. All this was around January 21st ooo..

I forwarded another reminder mail with faith and hoping to hear from them, I was still informing my wife with what the lady at embassy dey yan and consoling her that will be fine without me there.

It wasn't up to 30 mins, just got a mail back from the embassy that my wife GNIB was to expire 22nd January 2020 and i should send her renewed GNIB card as soon as possible ... Told my wife instantly she said ewooooo! She had forgotten her GNIB was expiring in 2 days and booking appointments for GNIB can be war.. At least you have to start checking GNIB site 2 months before your residence permit expires to book for renewal..

To be continued later..... Baby crying �

Come on you should have stated you daughter isn’t underage, Pls be more open about the application. E.g was it a group application like you indicated on your application that you travelling together ? Was it your daughter first visa application. Reason I asked those questions is coz your daughter is 18+ and can make her decision to overstay without affecting u, but if you two application linked together when you applied, ECO can question you to provide proof she returned with you. Just giving possible outcome not that I’m sure of what’s gonna happen when you reapply. You could be lucky, good luck though.

Also you need to give reason why your 8days visit turned 23days, don’t complicate your application when you reapply coz they will dig more if the ECO starts doubting anything.

Okay thanks for your time..I have nothing to hide again..except that I have submitted the application to Ireland embassy VFS..I am concerned about the itenary overstay..I heard they have used it in refusing some people,I just had to try it,supposing I knew earlier I would have made a written explanation

Ashirioluwa:

They will not know because you are applying alone. Where they ask for name & address of your family members. Use your Nigerian address for her in your application.

Thanks I appreciate! Also I visited Ireland last year,and on my visit my proposed itenary to the embassy was 8 days,but I spent 23 days. I am about to renew my visa,please can you tell me my chances of getting the visa again, will they refuse me for overstaying my itenary? Pls kindly help me out

Darvick:


We all know some are looking for greener pasture and better opportunities for their children, if you wanna do sacrifice why not do it � while did 50% and struggling with 50%? Since you decided on your illegal decision, you should have be with your daughter to overstay there and not come home. What’s the point of your coming home? Your husband and other kids still in Nigeria huh? Or u still want your freedom and not get stuck in UK? you may not see your daughter again for years.

Well you should have returned to those that advised you to leave your daughter in UK for further advice.

If they would know you left your daughter in UK isn’t an option for u, Straight forward answer to your question is ECO would wanna see proof you returned to Nigeria with your daughter. Well when you reapply, you could be luck and the ECO attention won’t on if your daughter returned with you or not. Good luck with that gamble. Note if anyone later helps your daughter to put in application in UK for a stay, your gamble game is off coz embassy would automatically know whenever you reapply.

Secondly about Ireland, well yes they do share info but Ireland won’t know you left your daughter in UK though but they would be aware you were issued visas.

Didn’t wanna reply u though cuz I don’t like people making half decision, get burn fully and don’t half burn OR u don’t burn at all coz the other half is a waste.

Thanks so much I really appreciate ur time and the care you have shown.Although,my daughter is 29 years! Also I visited Ireland last year,and on my visit my proposed itenary to the embassy was 8 days,but I spent 23 days in the country.I am about to renew my visa,please can you tell me my chances of getting the visa again, will they refuse me for overstaying my itenary? Pls kindly help me out

Brightingsus:


This is dicey. If you and your daughter applied separately as 2 separate individuals, then you are good to go. However if there are odds affecting a participant of the joint application, it invariably affects the other

Good day, I have not receive any update on my visa application I submitted on d 18th Dec

visit or student?

dotcomnamename:


Multiple entry visas are usually only issued to an applicant who has shown a compliant travel history. Ireland can never grant you multiple entry visa if you don't previously had at least TWO previous visas. What i mean is "If you have had 2 previous Irish visas and have observed the conditions of these visas (e.g. you did not overstay or work illegally) you may apply for multiple entry".... Goodluck...

The ECO doesn’t appreciate UK family tie when it comes to visiting visa, they would believe your dad would help you overstay and get paper in UK. Therefore they gonna continue to give unreasonable excuse to refuse you. Even though you have explained the funds, Well try to provide proof of the irregular funds deposited into your account and reapply and let’s see if they come up with another excuse
