Did anyone receive an approval letter?

Hi,

I noticed that first-time naturalized citizens applicats for passport need to send their original (country of origin) passport together with the application, do you know how long does it take to get the (country of origin) passport back?

Thanks,

I have received a letter from INIS reading as follows As you do not meet the residency requirement your application is being processed on your Irish Association with a view to submitting your application to the Minister for decision. What does it mean? I applied in Aug 2016 on old form. Got 2nd sta...

@ferocious12 I got the second stage letter back in March; Emailed them 1 month ago and they said that my app is still under consideration.

@amiamorgan I think you're still in the second stage.

I applied early Nov 2016 and haven't got the approval just yet. (based on 5 years work permit)

They said that there will be 400 - however, I see there are around the 330, do you think that there is still place for more applicants ? or is this a final list?

Hi @Beerh123,

Can you please share your timeline ? and your app is based on what ? (5 years/marriage) ?

Thanks

@indianzeppelin

Thanks for the info. so I guess I should start looking into open appointment slots.

Cheers!

@indianzeppelin Actually, I have the same question. I applied last Nov for Citz through naturalization (5 years), and still waiting for it. My wife has been on Stamp3 the whole time and she did a degree on the side here in Ireland while she had Stamp3. By the way, how did she got the Stamp 4? did yo...

"Note: If you are outside the State for longer than 6 weeks after you submit your application, you must notify INIS by letter or email to explain why."

Hi everyone,

Do anyone know when the next ceremony is?

Thanks.

Hi,

My wife has Stamp 3 I would like to ask how can she get Stamp 4 and be able to work?

Thanks!

congrats @pukun_check!
Did they mention when is the next ceremony?

@chels actually my calculations are wrong :-\ usually there are around the 10k naturalized citizens and every ceremony consists of 3 different ceremonies of 1k. In any case, let's hope it's before September

Hi, Are you sure the next ceremony is in September? last year they said that there were 9 ceremonies. This year we only had 1 (today) and if September is the next one this means that in 9 months we'd have only 2 ceremonies! Moreover, if we say there are ~30,000 new naturalized citezens a year then y...
