Hi Sulla and all, I am thrilled to see so many having much timelier results with their citizenship applications. Congrats! I received my cert mid Sept. Mailed off my passport application Sept 23, 2019 to sf consulate. The passport tracker showed recieved in Ireland as of yesterday Oct 23, 2019. Date...

Great to read about so many recent approvals. I was approved today! I think it would have happened a few weeks ago but for a few questions about documents. But very happy and relieved. Great service from Dublin once my case was allocated to a case officer. So, I'm about 53 weeks from original recei...

[ And today (24/9/19) I got a confirmation of address email, which was a nice surprise - on my birthday as well! Happy Birthday Indeed!!! jgclancy It is my birthday on Monday, perhaps that is what they have been waiting for.......getting closer to 16 months! [/quote] Congrats and happy birthday @jg...

No, not the witness part at all! 1st set was too blurry 2nd - 4th set were wrong size. After the 1st set, the consulate told her to deliver the pictures and not to have them witnessed. The lady said she saw the witness’s signature on the original and noted it matched the witness on the application ...

News: My cousin Laura got her FBR and applied for her passport also. Apparently just after my application was submitted, they changed the requirements! She had 4 sets of photos rejected. CVS used the irish and american standards and all rejected. No further info is known currently, second hand info...

Congratulations to Ian, Kathy and Liam on their recent progress. I'm sure your certificates will be with you shortly. I know all of you have been waiting over a year and it has been very frustrating at times. At least now it is almost over. When you actually receive the FBR certificates, please let...

Hi I'm posting I can confirm that I've had the email from Dfa asking me to confirm my address. So it would appear the process is nearing conclusion.

All I can say is I'm so bummed that it is a year now. Mine should be straight forward. 2 grandparents born in Ireland. All certificates and verifications completed, fees paid, excitement at the prospect of hearing at 6 months... came and went. Now a year... super bummed.

My certificate came in the mail today! I am officially an Irish citizen!!! 12 months to the day of them receiving my application in Dublin! Laurie WOOHOO!! So happy for you.... no email or anything yet here, days away from my one year acknowledgement of receipt, wish they would at least answer emai...

Well it’s my applications 15 month anniversary today and still no news. I have emailed but not had a response. I just wish I knew what was happening Please do let us know if you hear anything back. I'm wondering if they just stopped responding to inquiries now. Did you have some items that that nee...

Just a small (non-) update: Today is the 1st anniversary of my submitting my application. Aside from the more-or-less instantaneous auto-reply, I've heard absolutely nothing. Is there any point in chasing it up, in people's experience? If so does anyone have a number Thanks V Hi V, I'm a week away ...

Thank you. Also assume no one else heard anything until the point of it being actually confirmed? [/quote] It does appear that way for most of us. Some have been contacted for clarification purposes. I believe that there have been a couple people that have recently recieved their certificate and the...

With all the recent Aug applications being approved, I feel like we are all alumni now! Wr should somehow keep in touch independently of this board! Maybe meet in Dublin for a pint?

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 ! Laurie Great News Laurie! Sounds like you are basically approved. Your 'Congratulations' email should be next. I'm one week behind you, so hopefully this ...

I've hit the 11th month mark today. Here's hoping I hear back about my FBR by August 31! Right there with you, I hit the 11 month mark last week. I had hopes raised when Michael received his congrats, he was days ahead of me. But that has been a month and a half since... no rhyme or reason.... pret...

Thanks so much Sulla for all the effort you put in here. Looks like quite a job keeping it all straight! Much appreciate you!

My wife’s FBR is now official. Her timeline: August 14, 2018 received email that her application was received. July 17th, 2019 email stating they just needed to verify her current address. We responded to email on same day. July 25th received her official FBR certificate - what a beautiful thing to...

In the meantime, however, Oction popped up with an August 1st 2018 application date - which means that we are no longer in the position of all the people from the start of August having been moved through. I applied on 16th August 2018 and, apart from the automatic email confirmation, have heard ab...
