That's good news Bluegill , so 2-3 weeks and the wait is over .
I applied just 2 weeks after you did so hopefully i'll get some good news too

Just got the email confirming my address. Is it much longer after receiving this email? I applied January 14th 2019. My documents were received in Balbriggan from Chicago USA on January 16th 2019. Hi Bluegill Wasn't there an estimate on the e-mail because a few members have mentioned a time frame o...

Hey everyone! Just a quick query and hoping someone can help me out. I recently received my e-mail approving my FBR application and expect the certificate within the next couple of weeks. With regard to the passport application, I will be staying in the UK for a few months and was hoping to submit ...

Congrats to Asamp, Also Mikekally and Emlyn becoming Irish citizens. Congrats to everyone else too receiving their FBR certs and their passports. Well done Luke receiving your passport last week. This forum is looking more and more positive now and the Irish foreign office has vastly improved and st...

Nice to see people from Jan and Feb making process. I also applied online 31st Jan 2019 and posted the next day. Confirmation email that documents arrived in Ireland on 6th Feb 19. Hopefully going by a few other people's timelines I might receive some news soon. Fingers crossed! Hi Lenny I applied ...

Hi Your wife can get a Irish family visa (Join family visa) and is a long stay visa through INIS department which would allow for A stay of 6 months As I've exercised my treaty rights in another EU state, I was under the impression that we can apply via the EEA route, rather than the Join Family vi...

Congrats to all whom have received or going to have their hands on the long awaited FBR certificate. I found this article just now about the numbers on the FBR and passport could be the same as the previous post by myself but this an updated article with the mention of further improvements to be mad...

I didn't say Sulla started the topic or subject of FBR originally that would of been done many many years ago but I was trying to put across that it was this portal/version started by the very person. If you read YOUR own words as you have already quoted you will see “After all Sulla started this t...

I don't think we need to take this "core topic" issue too strictly. Matters connected to the core topic can of course be discussed. That naturally embraces passport applications of which FBR certificates are part. As for naturalisation queries, I have only ever seen a few and they usually ...

Irish FBR is the core topic and the only topic for discussion, understandable. So in the future, I should expect not to see any Irish Passport discussion or other questions about naturalization. Hi Michael The FBR is the core topic but it doesn't hurt if anyone on here mentions about the progress o...

Hi Sulla The Israeli citizenship involves living in Israel for 5 years to get the passport right ? How about Armenian citizenship you can qualifiy after 3 years of residence and I believe it is not written into law that you have to spend so much time in the country only that you have to be a holder...

I still need to apply for my passport, I am struggling to find someone on the list of occupations who can sign this for me so I think it is going to have to be a notary public again but not had the chance to get there yet and not sure when I can get there. Would like to get this done sooner rather ...

Sorry YYZ,

I gave you too many Z's

A few members on here have been waiting for a year or more after applying from London and most have received their FBR's now some before this time.



Lee

Hello Lee I live in Lincolnshire and sent all my stuff to the Irish Embassy London. I guess all the Brexit malarky isn't helping matters. [/quote] Hi YZZ The Irish embassy London was holding onto the FBR applications for months in many cases last year before being sent over to Dublin and now all UK ...

Hi YYZ Which country did you send your application from and did you send to an embassy or (direct route) to The FBR section in Ballbriggan, Co. Dublin Ireland? Depending on the route of sending your application it will give you a rough estimate of waiting times comparing everyone's experiences. Emba...

Update from me. I called the dfa today, perhaps not the best day to call cause the queue was double digits but it still actually moved quite fast. I was added to the FBR on 22 July so officially an Irish Citizen :-) Certificate has been printed and is at the Embassy so I have arranged to go to the ...

Sulla


Agreed,

We all want the same thing and all have different opinions, reasons why we wanted to apply for the FBR .

Keep up the good work everyone and best of luck with your applications

Brexit Escape I'm sure you'll have already had difficulties convincing people that you had no interest in maintaining your European citizenship Brexit Escape There is no European citizenship, Europe is a continent and there are only citizenships of individual countries in the EU also it is a politic...

I choose to apply for Irish citizenship last year after travelling to Ireland on three occasions and the last trip I went to where my Grandmother came from Near Mulligar, Westmeath and I found I had a reletive still in the village, so many have moved away to the USA & England . I have always fel...

Thanks Sulla Top work and lets hope all of the August applicants get all approved before the end of August and the FBR section get onto Septembers and start clearing it in a speedy manner . Tom_BCFC Is the BCFC FOR Bristol City FC or Birmingham City FC just wondering , by the way I am Bristol based ...

Hi Lee, The reforms that they made within the department seem to have had the effect of accelerating applications made from embassies in some cases at least. In addition, compared to the turn of the year, big improvements have been made in printing times. However, the overall processing for direct ...

Well I spoke to a very nice person at FBR today and have been told they are just waiting for my certificate to be printed :) :) :) Can I say yet that I am now also Irish? Mary Give them a call and let them know your new address, I have always found it really easy to get through to them (thanks to L...
