I don't understand the correlation? Two or three people in this topic reported that they did not see much being done to their application in a long time apart from repetitive Garda vetting requests. What I'm saying is that it is possible that you will not see anything new on your file other that an...

Is it allowed to make FOI twice? If someone made the request like last year, can the same person make another request this year? Yes. If you think you can find anything interesting you can ask for another one. But personally I wouldn't bother, it's probably going to be another Garda vetting request...

Looking for advice I'm thinking of sending an FOI request to see what's been happening with my Citizenship application. I've been waiting for 20 months now. I seem to be getting the usual copy & paste replies every time I request an update. Do you think it will have an impact on my application ...

There is an online system now: "Introduction of new E-Payment System As above outlined, when a person is notified by the Minister for Justice that it is her intention to issue them with a Certificate of Naturalisation, they are asked to submit payment in the sum of €950 to the Department of Ju...

Ok. How exactly does the good character check is specified in the letter? scan of my second stage letter: https://ibb.co/WK540Q2 Thanks Vorona. Clearly mentioning "moved to second stage" doesn't matter even though it was stated in my last letter :D But what I still didn't understand is th...

I knew a solicitor (or may be immigration consultant) , he was ex immigration officer and also worked in Naturalization office. As per his update : The people in their office are useless or don't ...

Another copy and paste email today. Doesn't make sense posting it here again. Same last email copy and paste.

Thanks for sharing. The 11 people they got an approval? And have you started your JR? No problem! On a related note: I've noticed people have different theories about how long one should wait before going through the courts to force a decision - I've seen everything thrown out 4, 3, 2, 1.5 (years) ...

We won't be able to speak for the minister. After all, the Minister of Justice makes the final decision. However, when the staff in the citizenship department prepares the application, they will likely recommend a decision of 'Approve', 'Reject' or 'Need further review' based on the information the...

Got this this morning: Thank you for your email. Your application for naturalisation is currently being processed with a view to establishing whether you meet the statutory conditions for the granting of naturalisation and will be submitted to the Minister for decision when processing is complete. T...

Got my certificate this morning! Yay! Only negative is unfortunately they didn't put "do not bend" on the envelope so unfortunately the postman bent it slightly into the letterbox, so my certificate has a big crease down it :( Not the end of the world obviously, but a little bit annoying....

But that doesn't mean it has been submitted to the minister since then isn't?

Application received by Citizenship on 11/02/2020. I applied through Solicitor. ********* I am directed by the minister for justice and equality to refer to your application for naturalisation. Your application has now been initially assessed and has proceeded to the second stage of processing. Your...

I had a guardai witness my statutory declaration on my application and it was sent back to me to have it witnessed by a commissioner of oaths.
Unfortunately I don't think they accept this

Thanks for this. Very helpful.

Hi, apart from solicitor, can an Garda Síochána sign Statutory Declaration on form 8 for naturalisation? All Solicitors my friend contacted don't want any physical contact due to covid-19. The only alternative is Garda, can they do it?

Hi everyone today news. Some 4,000 people applying for Irish citizenship can now complete their naturalisation process through a temporary system opened by the justice minister today. A statutory declaration of loyalty can now be signed by applicants, to be witnessed by a designated official, which...
