Does INIS always send a Second Stage letter by post in all cases? - Not in all cases I can say that for sure, some received their approval without Second Stage letter and some received Second Stage letter and then approval. Do they only send a physical letter if there is some complexity to the appl...
Yes, that's correct there is a new online appointment system. You can book an appointment up to 10 weeks early. A small number of extra near-term appointments are also released every day. If you can't book one straightaway, keep trying. It may take 2 or 3 days to find one. See all the details here h...
Because she’s technically entering / transiting a EU country (landing in London, collecting bags, checking in for her Ryanair flight to Ukraine, etc.) I don’t think she can travel on her own without a visa and without you (EU citizen). Most EU countries will only allow your wife to enter or transit ...
Correct me if I’m wrong but there is no passport control in London when you land from Ireland, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man, and the Channel Islands because of the Common Travel Area (CTA). I have done this route (Dublin – London) several times for work and was never asked to show my passport. ...
I guess no one here can answer your question with completely accuracy unless they work at the Citizenship Division or know their internal processes at first hand. There is no a huge delay on your application, others have been waiting for more than a year. I would recommend to stay patient and hope y...
Your GNIB Number and Department Number are in your GNIB card (Certificate of Registration), these are uniques numbers and should help them locate your file if it was posted to them. If the solicitor sent the application using Registered Post then request the tracking number to see if it was delivere...
Did you at least received the first / acknowledgement letter and original passport back? If so, you can contact them and reference you application number and they should be able to provide an update. If you haven't received any letter or communication at all from them I would recommend to contact th...
@MrScarface I think this link should contain all the information you need. Since you didn’t specify your nationality I will assume you are Swiss or EU/EEA citizen (except Irish), if you are Irish national the process to follow is slightly different. http://www.inis.gov.ie/en/INIS/Pages/EU+Treaty+Rig...
@ka01 naturalisation is a privilege and not a right so you will need to sit tight and wait for the outcome, unfortunately there is no much else we can do.
@ka01 I wouldn't worry too much, it looks like the delay is general as others have been posting similar concerns. The next ceremony is April 21st so in my view you have a good chance of being included, apparently they send invitation letters 4 or 5 weeks before it is scheduled to occur so there is s...

That's correct. Your wife and yourself can attend the GNIB office within 90 days of your arrival with the following documentation: • Your original marriage / civil partnership certificate • Your wife’s original passport • Your Irish original passport • Evidence of your joint address, e.g. mortgage/r...
