Specialist Immigration Solicitors
Foreign Birth Registration ( FBR ) What is an FBR? You may be entitled to take up an Irish passport because one of your ancestors was an Irish citizen. We have a proven record in achieving Irish citizenship for people in these situations. We are familiar with all kinds of family records which are needed to succeed in these applications,
Visa Appeals How do I appeal a visa refusal? An applicant usually has 2 months from the date of the Visa decision to submit an Appeal. Some times a Visa Appeal is the appropriate step to take when mistakes have been made by the decision maker. Sometimes it is better to submit a fresh Visa application. The bad news is that some people often receive negative decisions on Visa applications where they are not justified. Often this is because the Visa application was not properly understood by the decision maker or perhaps the applicant failed to include some important document. The good news is that we can often reverse a negative decision on Appeal. Book a consultation to see if we can assist with your particular circumstances.
Irish citizenship / Naturalisation We have been able to assist numerous clients in becoming Irish citizens through naturalisation over the last 20 years. The application forms issued by the Department of Justice appear to change every few months and the criteria which the Minister relies on also seems also to vary from year to year. We believe that it is vitally important for applicants to seek legal advice prior to submitting such an application. We offer up to date advice on naturalisation and citizenship.
Visas Visas give a person the right to travel to Ireland. They do not confer a right to residency thereafter. Visas applications are made online through the AVATS system. We can help with the submission of a visa application whether it be a short stay holiday visa (C class) or a long stay visa (D class). We offer up to date professional advice on all Visa applications and Appeals.
Work permits Work permits are of 2 types. General Work Permits and Critical Skills Work Permits. A General Work Permit will only issue if the job type being applied for is considered an "eligible job category". Also the vacancy must survive a "labour test" which seeks to establish that no EU national s available for the position before a candidate from a third country is allowed to take up the position.
EU Treaty Rights ' This type of residency derives from the European Treaties and its secondary legislation which sets out the entitlements of EU citizens and their spouses in circumstances where the EU spouse is residing in an EU member State other than his/her own. It also allows for other family members to take up dependent residency in certain circumstances.
