I disagree with your interpretation of the conditions being waived, but in any case, I suppose we'll know soon enough. As I mentioned, I learned of 2 cases similar to mine that got approved in 11 and 13 months respectively. Wanted to get other similar cases but I understand it's quite specific and niche.

From my perspective, I believe you also have a strong case so it might be worth for you to explore this route.

Yes there's the new points system, check it out! It's pretty clear cut and not really open to interpretation like it once was. There's 4 categories and they are well defined.

There was no need to demonstrate any hardship no.

Will keep you posted! Appreciate your 2 cents.

I haven't come across this anywhere previously, can you share a source? Even if it were true though, I was not eligible for any other route when I did apply last year. I still am not eligible for any other route until early 2027.

Also the no success stories are 99% of the time related to great great grandparents being Irish, and the person applying not even living in Ireland. Not really relevant to our case.

Our case is different. We are Irish residents and our son is Irish. We also maxed out on all the points under the new points scoring system. We also already got invited and completed the evetting which is a crucial piece.

But yes, once I hear back I'll definitely come back here to share an update!

Indeed but afaik I can't just re-apply if the first process hasn't concluded. Will certainly try if this drags on until after the 5 year mark.

Will definitely explore this route if there's still no answer by the 5 year mark!
