Well, since it's been 5 months since I last heard from Team 1 asking me to confirm my mailing address I decided to send them another reply reaffirming that my mailing address hasn't changed. Can't hurt LOL

Update Received an e mail from Irish embassy in Turkey asking me to confirm my address in order for them to send it to Irish consulate Karachi. When Irish consulate in Karachi will receive documents they will contact me for delivery. I think their process has changed as when I previously applied fo...

Good News! I just received my FBR and all of my supporting documentation in the post today! My FBR says I was entered into the registry on December 18, 2020, just as they were going into lockdown.

Hi everyone. I submitted all my documentation for the FBR in October 2019 and received a confirmation of receipt of these documents on 7th October 2019. Since then I have not heard anything.

Does anyone know when Irelands current lock down is scheduled to be lifted?

As of now it is April 5th for Level 5 but it will probably be extended until May.

It'll be a long time until completion so a few weeks won't matter. I originally paid extra for my shipping to get it there faster (almost two yea...
