Delays NO More!
Immigration Officers: Your slow pace of administration has delayed the visa extension of thousands of people under the 2 Year Student Probationary Extension Visa scheme.


Some of them have a family member sick, or even dying in China, some of them have a spouse waiting in another European country to marry, some others have a wife expecting a baby alone in China, some of them have to leave their job because the visa has expired for too long due to your administrative delay.


We have waited for too long, and we can not wait any longer.


Irish citizens have been immigrants to other countries such as America or Australia: think of them and us as your family members. Would you like to have these thing happen to your family, solely due to your slow administration process?


Most of us have no visa for two months due to your administration delay now. We cannot travel anywhere and this offends against our human rights.


What you have done to us is inhumane, disrespectful and irresponsible, and incompetent.


This action of Irish immigration is a deprivation of human freedom. The Irish immigration has turned Ireland a living prison for thousands people who had been living in Ireland as good residents and who have paid tax and made social contributions for seven years at least.


We demand your immediate action to renew all persons' visas for six months to facilitate the need for emergency travel abroad. ALL applications must get a result NOW!

The stories you are sending me about trapped family members and missed weddings show exactly why this system is failing. I am currently compiling these reports to present directly to the immigration office. Call or email your local representative today to demand they prioritize these visa extensions.

The momentum is building and the immigration office cannot ignore the scale of our frustration. Post this link on Facebook and tag your local representatives to demand an immediate review of these administrative delays.

This delay is seriously putting my career into risk. I have been offered a fantastic opportunity and could not secure or sign the contract due to such delay. My plan of holiday in France also has to cancel. Really need immediate resolution.

The current situation is really upsetting, we cannot be living like hostages in here, right now, it is limbo, we have no rights to go to anywhere, no job security, nothing……very disappointed with all these

Department of Justice, please put yourself into the other's shoes, because of you, people lose the only chance to witness the birth of their children, saying goodbye for the very last time to their beloved ones, how are we gonna recover from loss as such. Because of you, innocent people are losing their job opportunities, living on the edge, before you call yourself 'Justice' please think for us...
