Hi Sulla, Please add me to your list (and thank you for doing this!) DFAT acknowledged receipt of my application on April 26, 2019. I sent direct to Balbriggan from Washington, DC. Cheers, F I have added you and everyone else on this page who shared application date information to the overall list....
Just found this site while trying to determine if others were experiencing the same delays in FBR processing that I am. My situation: submitted FBR request for my son in August 2018 (I was entered onto FBR in 2002). Email confirmation of receipt of application received on August 16, 2018. Radio sil...
Hello all-- I filed my FBR in May of 2018. I totally understand that between Brexit and Trump, DFTA is wildly overrun. That said, I have since moved, and I am really afraid that if/when any correspondence gets sent to me, I won't get it forwarded. I tried calling, and the voicemail system doesn't a...
Hi everyone! It’s been a week since I responded to the “confirm your mailing address email” from the FBR Office. It said my application would be approved shortly. Does anyone have an idea what shortly means🤦♀️? And will I receive another email? Thanks, Laurie I think you should ask Michael / LeifR...
Before you send your application form to the relevant office, you must have it witnessed by an appropriate person who is personally know to you but is not a relation. The same witness should witness the form and two of the photographs and use their official stamp on the form. They should also certi...
This is the full applicants list from 2018 (May on) and 2019. Obviously, a lot of people are missing, especially from the November 2018 onward. Please help me out by telling me your received dates if you do not already appear. I have added some country information to some successful applicants. Thes...
Yikes! It did it again. "Mess it up." Maybe that will go through. Sorry. Hi Luna, Welcome to the forum. The marriage certificates and any divorce certificates you may have are very likely to be requested. I advise you to source certified copies and contact FBR clarifications for instructi...
At that time, I also had 2 other ongoing litigation cases. Fortunately, these have now been positively resolved. Sued the laundry to get them to stop putting starch in your boxer shorts? Oddly enough, no. I stopped wearing those quite some time ago. I hope nobody still does. https://www.gq.com/stor...
My own personal view is that the stopwatch started on the 28th of November when I received the confirmation e-mail which leaves me at eight months in. Based upon what I have read on here, I optimistically expect a communication from the DFA in October to November. However, if that doesn't happen, i...
So you remain unhappy with the process/department/people that dealt with your application, but your assessment is that attempting any legal redress wouldn't be worth it. What do you think about current applicants? Do you think seeking legal redress would be worth their while? Or is there any other ...
I called Dublin again this morning to see if my documents had been attached, and was told my application had already been approved! That means my entire application process took just over a month Congratulations on making it onto the register so swiftly. I hope that it does not take so long to get ...
In Ben's case... I can understand you speaking up for Sulla here, however, I can't help pointing out the irony in what's just happened. Sulla was so keen to use Ben's experience to make personal criticisms of the incompetent DFA staff that he completely failed to read what Ben had written. The fact...
Good Morning all, I have been following this and the closed thread regarding FBR for some time so I thought as well add my experiences of the FBR process to date. I am applying for citizenship via FBR because my Grandfather was born on the Island of Ireland. Timeline. July 2018 to August 2018: Coll...
Another lurker here, here's my timeline: Application recived at London Embassy - 16/OCT/2018 (Tracked post) "Official" email acknowledging reciept of application - 8/MAR/2019 !!!! Still pending A couple of recent phone calls say mine probably won't be processed until October.. (Unfortunat...
Okay, weird coincidence since I don't post here often, but I just got an email from my local embassy saying that my application has been approved. The email said I will get the certificate in "due course". Irish citizen! :o :o Congratulations Ben. I have you on the list as a Mid-June appl...
Hi Sulla I have applied for fbr and my application was received Oct 22nd 2018. I have called numerous times and been told it will be Oct 2019 before I get added but I'm seeing a few people have been granted their citizenship in less than a year so I am staying hopeful for August September. This thr...
This morning I received an email from the FBR office saying you will soon be added to the FBR. Please confirm your mailing address by replying ! Is this real? I can’t believe it!😭😭 Laurie Sounds like great news to me. I am sure you will be receiving the official citizenship confirmation email short...
Got a text from my cousin Liam (Upliam) today and he advised me to check in as you were looking for me. Hi Michael, Has Liam heard anything yet? it should be about time for him to be getting some good news in the post on the FBR front. As for the passport application process, I'm sorry that you are...
Sorry of course should read 2018 not 2019!! Hi Sonic. Welcome to the thread and thanks for sharing your application information. I have added you and some others into the timeline list we keep. August 2018 applicants and date FBR applications received / added. All received dates 2018. Oction – rece...
I also want to thank Sulla for going above and beyond in tracking everyone’s dates and progress. If it wasn’t for you and this forum, I’m absolutely positive I would have lost my mind by now. This is the ONLY place with this kind of information. We would all be crazed living in limbo!! Thanks Sulla...
I have not seen you around for a while. I just want to ask if your application has shown up in the passport tracking system yet and what estimated date you are being given.
I hope this is going well for you. After the FBR process delays you experienced, you deserve some luck.
FYI: 18 June 2019: Added to FBR 25 July 2019: FBR received In the end it was surprisingly quick. I expected a long delay but perhaps my application somehow bypassed the Brexit queue. Irish passport application is up next. Congratulations on becoming an Irish citizen. It does seem that to some exten...
Please could you add my son’s FBR Sulla too? Sure, I have added it in. However, I will try to keep the timeline posts as short as possible so I will usually only post the most relevant few months for applicants. At the moment this is August and September 2018 as all the July people have received th...
Greetings All, I'm new here. Sulla - really great to see this timeline, thank you! Here are my details: Application posted: 26th Sept 2018 (UK). Email received to confirm receipt: 27th Sept. Status: no contact as yet. Regards, Welcome to the board. I have added you in. I would not expect to hear fr...
