Stamp 4 Question

    Bit of a long shot, but maybe someone can help.

    Does anyone know, when I bring my wife into the local garda station to get the stamp 4, do they physically stamp the passport or does she just get a card?

    I'm asking because my wife in a permanent resident in the US, and intends to return to the US for a while no naturalise, all the while we will be visiting one another, it just makes life easier having a stamp 4 when coming to travel - I am just worried if she gets her passport stamp with Irish residency a CBP officer in the US will consider it an abandonment of residency.

    All her family are over in the states, so she needs to keep her residency to naturaslise, so that when she is a citizen can live in Ireland permanently.

    She will probs be visiting a couple of times, so I dont want to rely on her getting a tourist visa at the POE every time.

    Any info would be much appreciated.

    Cheers,

    Tim

    It's both a GNIB card and a physical stamp in the passport. Your wife should really take proper advice in both the USA and Ireland.

    OK Thanks for that, maybe we wont risk it then until she gets citizenship; just have to chance it with her coming on a tourist visa each time.

    She's mexican and just gets stamped at the airport, shouldnt have too much bother if she comes ever 3 or 4 months should she?

    Cheers,
