Successful visa application for a dependent family member of an EU national

My mother-in-law applied for a visa as a dependent family member of an EU national – she received a letter from the INIS to say that they wanted to reject her application.

I made an appointment to see Sharon Shaw who told me not to worry and said she would write a letter to the INIS to explain my mother-in-law’s situation.

She sent them ONE letter and within four weeks, my mother-in-law received a letter to say her application had been successful!

I would recommend Sharon to anyone who has an immigration issue. She is a real gem. Thank you so much.

Successful handling of long and complex immigration case
I have nothing but the highest praise for Gibson & Associates Immigration Solicitors – they handled a long and difficult immigration case and won. I was kept up to date on proceedings throughout.

The firm has a great team of lawyers who deal with various complex proceedings and I would personally never hesitate to use them again.

Successful application for family visa
We highly recommend Gibson & Associates Solicitors – they got my family’s visa to come to Ireland. My partner and I got married on 24th December 2015, after returning home in February 2016, I, unfortunately, had two strokes that year. After three attempts for a tourist visa, I was unable to get a visa for my family and was told that I couldn’t travel due to my condition.

After two years and eight months, we decided to contact Gibson & Associates and received help from Sharon Shaw. Within a couple of weeks, my wife and daughter received their visa, arriving in Ireland on 7th November – a day before my birthday! My family is here now for six months.

Thank you so much for your help. If you have a problem with your visa like me and my family, go to Gibson & Associates!

Satisfied client returns for visa application help
I knew Sharon Shaw for years from another company. She is customer-focused and service-oriented, so when I needed visa services again, I called the number I used to have but it was forwarded to Gibson & Associates and I insisted on speaking to Sharon.

I was delighted to have Sharon’s very good customer service again – she understands her client’s story. It is worthy to mention Gillian too who is always there to speak to you in Sharon’s absence – thank you, Gillian. Also, the receptionist Karol is always ready to forward your call to your contacts.

Thank you to all. Keep up the good work.

Satisfied client following Brexit-related immigration matter

I needed advice upon a Brexit-related immigration matter and instructed Sharon Shaw of Gibson & Associates having come across them on the internet. I am very pleased that I did. As a lawyer myself I appreciate and recognise technical expertise coupled with exceptional client care. The matter was completed ahead of time and I was kept fully informed at every step of the process with email and telephone calls promptly returned. I would have no hesitation in recommending Sharon and Gibson & Associates.

FAQs About Immigration

We often receive general enquiries about Irish immigration – many of which are easily answered and don’t require our assistance. Before you get in touch with us today, please check if your query has already been answered below.

If you are unable to find an answer, and still require help with your immigration matter, we can help.

What do I do if I am living in Ireland but have not yet been issued with a notification of intention to deport?

The time frame for issuing a notification of intention to deport can vary from applicant to applicant. Generally, it will be issued in approximately four to six weeks but, in some cases, it can take a number of months.

If you are living in Ireland and your visa has expired or become invalid, and you haven’t yet been issued with a notification of intention to deport, you can appeal to the minister outlining your circumstances for leave to remain in the state. Our immigration solicitors can help you to begin proceedings.

Do I need to apply for residency as the parent of a child who is an Irish citizen?

Yes, you can apply for permanent residency in Ireland. Applications are granted depending on whether applicants have not been involved in any criminal activity during their prior residency.

Do I need to apply for permission to remain if I am married or civilly partnered to an Irish national?

If you are a non-EEA national, you must apply for permission to remain in Ireland even if you are married or in a civil partnership with an Irish national.

How do I apply for Irish naturalisation/citizenship?

To apply for naturalisation/citizenship, you need to have lived in Ireland for at least five years out of the last nine. All applications are decided on with the absolute discretion of the Minister for Justice and Equality. There are strict rules about applying for Irish citizenship.
