I've been calling Marys & Johns for the past 6 weeks or so, but it's the same reply.. Sent to Dublin for Minister's seal & the cert hasn't come back..Something fishy about the way INIS are being so secretive..don't know what's going on - 6 weeks for printing a cert & 6 weeks for the Mini...

folks, Has anyone received their CoN recently. it's been 10 weeks wait for me & when i called this morning, INIS said 4-6 weeks more to go. i have a very bad feeling about this. an increase of fees from 950 € to 1250 € is imminent ?? Can they increase the fees for those who have sent the dr...

throw in 500 € for each APPEAL for the refusals & we've got a money spinning machine - The increase in fee would not only discourage not-so-serious applicants but also generate revenue.

I had to go to Burgh Quay for my family's GNIB renewal today & the Officer was baffled when i said I have neither my GNIB Card nor my Certificate of Naturalisation..

Is an officer in Re-entry visa section can decide which country i have to go and which country not with multiple entry visa they are issuing? I think it is entirely upon me and my personal interest. If i am...

[quote="dgnhly Thanks Hotspurs, Just one more thing. How does it work, does it mean that the Birth Cert request is the final formality before submitting to the Minister for approval? How does the process work?[/quote] Yes, Your birth certificate is the final formality. INIS usually send the Pre...

hi,the new minister is very busy now going around and checking everything he is in control of. therefore, he probably does not spend much time in the office signing on naturalisation applications. Exactly, i've been waiting for 6 weeks for my CoN. INIS say they've printed it & are waiting to se...

BTW, not sure if this info is relevant to this topic but...here I go. When I went to the Garda station with my NAturalisation Cert (issued in Irish) to change my wife's Garda card to Stamp4, the immigration officer behind the counter gave me a blank look and looked at the cert as if it was written ...
