Guys, I'm in a similar situation too!!! Applied October 2014, received second stage letter by November 2014... and since then, none. nada. zilch. from them. Have emailed them for pretty much every three months for the whole of 2015 and this year and received the same reply: " Your application ...

Hi all members, I have been following this helpful forum a long time, since I've applied for my citizenship in 2014. I've become aware of the process and what usually happens when you're application is sent and each stage you go through to get your citizenship from each member who writes on this. U...

Hi, I was wondering if someone can confirm my understanding on this matter for me: I received my Schengen visa today from the Spanish embassy. It says I am valid to enter from 14th November until 10th December. The number of days given was 12 days. Then, on the entry section, it says "02"....

Today i have mailed to INIS dept and got following response from them..  Your application continues to be processed. This office does not currently require any further information or documentation from you at this t...

Hmmm.. this information (if accurate) doesn't really give me hope, only despair. Applied mid-October, got second stage letter November 18. And still no contact whatsoever. Just emailed them today after 7 months of waiting and only got the stock response : Your application continues to be processed.....

Do you mean approval right? as no ceremony has been announced therefore it can't be an invite letter.

Yes. Sorry for the confusion, I meant approval letter from the Minister, NOT invite.

My father just received his invite letter. Letter posted 21 April. He is Stamp 4/Spouse of Irish. Lived here for 8 years now. That took a while Hopefully mine comes in soon, applied same time as him (October 2014). Not too long now...

^sorry double posted

*Removed* for janesx's pleasure. Anger much?!

when did u get ur approval?

I haven't. I was just assuming 6 months from my application, I would probably be accepted already... but not yet. Do you think they're waiting for my renewed gnib (or will ask for it soon) ? Is that causing the delay?

Hey guys, congrats to everyone who finally got their Irish citizenship! I applied last October 2014 and got the second stage letter dated 18 November. Was hoping to be included in the April ceremony but it was not to be. Anybody in the same boat? May I also ask, is it mandatory to send them my renew...

Can anyone help me with my situation? Reading the forums, I only know of one member which has a similar case to mine but I don't think he/she will be reading this immediately as they last logged in two months ago. Anyway, hear me out (thanks!) I came here as a dependent of my mother (now a naturalis...
