@askeasy i always said that and i strongly believe that the applications based on EUfem are least priority for INIS. i saw many cases. and pending ones too. i dont want to brag but just for information. my application should be straight forward decision. i own international trading business ( Not i...

Hi LukyLuke, The application for EU citizen is dealt by a different team. I know many EU citizens who applied back in March and April got first letter and second letter quick and then approval. My wife is one of the example, got first letter in 2 weeks (requesting additional doc) after doc were prov...

Hi All, I understand how it feels to wait and wait for the Good news ! and i somehow agree with some people as EuFam might take longer then other applications but at the same time i don't agree with this. Just Spoke to some one recently who is from SouthAsia applied for Naturalization on 27 Nov 2015...

Southdubliner 1 this is such an insight. now i m more worried. 2 months ago. one junkee snatched my phone from city center and ran away. i made Garda complain so i am surely in their database :-) i sent them email and the same reply below "Your application continues to be processed. While it i...

Hi, I'm not nearly as experienced as some of the other members on this forum but I wouldn't think that it would affect your application based on what I've read. It's good that you disclosed it and, I presume, paid the fine? 8) I think you'll be fine. Yes. I paid fine immediately. It happened becaus...

I applied on 22 July still no communication the Only concern i have is that because i applied through the old for (as the new form was just released couple of weeks ago) i hope they are not gonna come back to me asking to f...
