US permanent resident getting another Resident stamp

[tim131 14]

Hi there,

My wife is an LPR, shes over visiting, in Ireland - as she is my spouse she is entitled to a stamp 4 resident card - will this effect her us LPR.

She is going back to the states, she was here for less than 6 months to visit, will be permanently living in the states, going to college and working.

I'm just wondering if having this stamp in her passport will effect her LPR whenn she retuns back to the states.

Will it effect if she becomes a citizen?

There is no residency requirements for this card for Ireland, you're just eligible if you're married to an Irish citizen.

We want it, as it make travel a whole lot easier.

Will not be a problem.

Thank you for your post. I was just wondering if maybe upon entering the US again if a CBP officer saw it, they may think its like an abandonment of her LPR. As this stamp 4 is the equivalent of the US greencard

But thank you, literally couldnt find anything else onthe web about it

jsut wanting to bump this thread to see if anyone else has any opinions on the matter

we're definitely ok to go ahead with getting her passport stamped?

If it is just given to people who are married to Irish citizens, no matter if they take advantage of it or not, then I don't see how it would be an issue.

Thaks for the reply.

Its not given straight away, you do have to apply for it, but it isn't a whole drawn out processes. You enter by air, produce marriage cert at airport, you get a special stamp, then report to your local immigration officer at the police station, he then finishes the process, and persumably stamps your passport and you get a card sent in the post. Its what you get give as a permanent resident as well as being a spouse, its just very eas for a spouse to obtain

it wont be an issue. My wife is also an LPR and has stamp 4 visa and she traveled to Dublin 3x. no issue with CBP at Dublin airport. but we was reminded not during her second trip not to stay for too. long in Ireland or she might loose her green card. She stayed 10 months all in all during her trips.

Brilliant, thanks a million for the response.

As far as I've been told by the gardai, it's literally just arrive at the airport request a special stamp, report to local gardai station (Bray) and it gets done there and then, do you know how long the whole processes takes? Once she gets the stamp and card, she can leave Ireland and come back and forth when ever she so pleases?

I'll be staying in Ireland, occasioanlly visting her while we wait for my greencard to come through

No, that not how it works. You have to file for a spouse visa. We filed it at Irish Consulate in San Francisco since my wife was in the US that time. She was given an entry visa valid for 3 month i think. when she arrived here she was instructed to visit Depart of Justice office at Georges Quay in Dublin to apply for the stamp card. once you have it she also needs to apply for a re entry permit that would allow her to get back to Ireland. Stamp 4 is only valid for two years so as the re entry permit. She needs to renew it after 2 yrs.

Naa - I phoned INIS and my local gardai Immigration officer and they both send, just fly together, shwo the marriage certificate, get a special stamp, and report to the garda station. She is a mexican national, so not a visa required country for Ireland, would be different if she was from a visa required country, then she'd have to go down the consulate route.

The re-entry permit, does this come as standard, can you use it many times?

Thanks for your help
