That does not make sense to me! If I was in line at the store waiting to pay, 100 people walked in , how does that effect my place in line? Wouldn’t those people be behind me in line? Yes, those 100 people would be behind you. But unlike in a store, you don't know how many people joined the line ah...
Still claiming ‘5-6 months’ on the DFA website. Not very honest considering the real life experience and genuine delays of well over 6-9 months throughout this forum. Last week I was informed by the DFA via WebChat "The current turnaround time is 8 to 9 Months Minimum". They also said thi...
I had no doubt that bank manager was on your application, because I could see that it was still listed on other official websites (like the San Francisco consulate and London embassy). It was my impression that you had already mailed your application. If you haven't, your options might be Send it a...

I checked on the status of FBR application today via Webchat. Application was received in Dublin on August 22, about 6 months ago. Was advised they are “working on the application” and the “current turnaround time is 8 to 9 months minimum” . They have received thousands of New Applications from the...
In anticipation of a Jan/Feb confirmation, I applied for my US Passport ( Book and card).As a first time applicant, I had expected a little over the approximate waiting time of 4-8 weeks. The postal clerk who took my application shocked me by saying “it will be around 4 weeks”. I was even more shock...
Aside from the 50% incomplete application rate and the wait, the most annoying part is the timing.. I know they have always maintained “6 months” processing. But when I applied the “real” time was about 4 months and I was hoping for confirmation by Christmas. When 4 months came it seemed as 6 months...

https://www.oireachtas.ie/en/debates/question/2019-01-15/164/#pq-answers-164 50% of applications are incomplete. Aside from the move and other things a lot is due to incomplete applications. They have to contact each person to get the missing or incomplete information and when it arrives there, they...
Tom, in your opinion do you think I will be added in the next two weeks? I think what your posted about the Tánaiste's response to a question on FBR processing times is as good an assessment of what is going on at DFA now as you'll ever get. But it's still a bit too "fuzzy". "Approxi...
Thanks! Just called, was told not to expect anything until June!!! My application was recieved in August!! Thats 10 months!! Hi Michael Was that about your application in particular or a general comment about timelines for August applicants onwards in general? That's very disheartening. You're my b...

Application received: 10/07/18 Email request for 2x further pieces of documentation: 22/11/18 Email to confirm documents recived and application put forward for approval: 10/12/18 Email: I have receive...
Passport Update: As of today, I am now in the tracking system and it says: "The estimated* issue date for your Passport is: 20/03/2019." So it seems that the 8 weeks they told me as to when I should receive it may be pretty accurate. Sean, When I did my passport application in the summer ...
How strict are they regarding certificates? I unfortunately don't have any genuine 'originals', i.e. from decades ago. The death certificate of my grandparent is a 'certified copy', and the certificates I have arriving in the post regarding my parent are from gro.gov.uk, which I assume won't be an ...
Applications from 8/2 have been processed, delivered and pending in the passport system already. Im 8/21 and there was a post that an application from Sept was already processed!!
Hey Sean, thanks for updating. It seems as though you and Spav just made the cut off before the FBR office moved. Your application was 8/2 and you were processed before Christmas, I am 8/21 and still waiting in Feb!!
