Re: April Ceremony Now Full

They might have sent out a small number of invites, based on a couple of people on here reporting that they got their invites already. But the bulk of the invites are still to be sent out (based on the wording of their response - "...you will be scheduled to attend a Citizenship Ceremony...&qu...

Re: April Ceremony Now Full

Hi there, Just thought i'd let you guys know that I got an e-mail today from INIS and they told me that April's Ceremony is now fully subscribed to. Ye scaremonger! :twisted: I made my fee payment a month ago and have been fairly confident that I will be invited to an April ceremony. However, your ...

Few of my friends are also waiting. So, don't worry much. Thanks, iCloud Thanks iCloud. Impatiently wai...

Home office email "upcoming visa/leave expiry"

Re: ceremony date 21 april 2017

Still haven't received the invitation. Called citizenship and was told they haven't started sending invitations yet. Surely this thread suggests otherwise.

Wasn't as anxious about the approval. Sent gnib, fees, etc five weeks ago now.

Re: ceremony date 21 april 2017

Hi again. At the risk of sounding neurotic, anyone received ceremony invitation yet? Getting closer to 4-5 weeks left for the big day and no invite yet from citizenship department.

Amit0127, have you received yours yet?

Re: Citizenship Query

This sounds very strange. If you have not sent an original passport with your application, then most likely you applied using an outdated form. In that case, surely citizenship department would have written to you or your solicitor? Since August 2016, A new version of the application form was introd...

Re: Naturalisation application and passport return

Hi. Thanks for replying. That makes perfect sense. It just struck me a little odd that in 5 five weeks they only returned her current passport whereas in my case, all four of my passports were returned within two weeks of applying. She doesn't have a complicated travel history either. Just travelled...

Re: Acknowledgment letter - Please help me

Hi. They sent the letters back within a few days. All I did was write to them mentioning my details and the tracking number of the missed letter that was on the anpost card.

I couldn't get a contact number for them and they never replied to my email. But the letter worked.

I ended up writing to them and asked them to send the letter to me again. They responded very promptly. Was it possibly a citizenship acknowledgment lett...
