Write "not applicable" as the surname.
Just because her first name is used instead of her last name it does not mean that it's now her official surname. She still does not have one.

All questions on the form must be answered, if it does not apply, answer "not applicable".

Use the official birth certificate. If there is no surname on the birth certificate ( :shock: ) then ask relevant authority in India or embassy to have a surname added to the passport and birth certificate or to confirm that she indeed does not have any surname. Otherwise she will have to have her f...

Great news!! congrats and all but i wont hold me breath just yet. I believe Applications based on Irish Marriage take priority. This might just be another Vorona! :) I'm actually married to Irish citizen, but my application was a standard one based on residence. Can't be 100% sure, but I think my m...

great, happy to see 2020 applications coming up.

Reference letter is not included as it is written by someone else. It is data about you confidentially provided by third party. So doesn’t come under the realms of foi the same can be said about any other external reports. I found out about the reference when she texted me saying that they got in t...

Then you pretty much know what to do. What else to say. Good luck with getting a decision.

After how many months did you decide to submit an FOI request? I think you applied at the beginning of 2020 and I applied in June 2020. You've since gotten your approval and I am still waiting on mine. :-) I am just wondering at what point I should consider submitting an FOI. I have no plans of goi...

What is a reference letter in naturalisation application? a letter about you that one of your referees may be asked to write. My friend was contacted and she gave them a short reference which I don't see it in the disclosure. If you are confident that Department is breaking the law, then speak to a...

do you know who will end up in the list of tax defaulters? i mean can a minor tax offense also affect the citizenship application? say when you owe 5k tax or less. sorry to hijack the conversation

People who we reported will end up on the list. Any offence can make an impact.

A veteran of 2 FOIs, I can confirm that in the last 3 years of the processing of my application, no request had been made to any foreign country/authority where I have lived in the last 9 years prior to my application. BTW, I have lived in 2 countries prior to coming to Ireland. Also, the checklist...

quick question about the periodic tax investigation that you mentioned earlier: do you have any idea how it works and how far do they go back when they want to investigate that (e.g. a year, two years)? When you open a bank account anywhere in the EU, you need to provide tax and residence details. ...

They absolutely can request information from another countries and they do if they need to. Even after successful naturalisation they can still investigate alleged fraud. There's been at least a few such cases in the media where people's real identity and background was revealed 15 or more years lat...

Your Irish work permission does not restrict you from working for any company outside of Ireland. If you receive money from any foreign company, you're not breaking the conditions of your Irish work permission. No I don't think so. Unless you end up on the list of tax defaulters there will be no iss...

No, it's not against the rules. Your Irish bank account can be used to receive money from any sources, not only from your employer. Another concern is that this income can be investigated by Revenue (all banks in EU periodically report this to the local tax authorities) and this may come back to you...

I might have asked this before but just wanted to be sure that i get a decision after applying for JR and not wasting my time and money. No one here can ensure or guarantee that you will get a decision after going for judicial review and not end up losing money and time. It is up to you to decide.

Yes. Internet.
Once you decide what benefits you want to find out about just go ahead and search it on the Internet.

is it possible to use letters that were sent from hospitals, doctors, dentists etc for proof of address? Yes, but they will be considered weak. You will probably get a request for revenue letters and bank statements. Check this: https://www.irishimmigration.ie/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Proofs-of-r...

Send them a letter and ask for more time to fulfill their request. Then contact your gas or electricity providers and ask for your old bills again. They must have them in their system. Last year I got a copy of all my bills from Electric Ireland and Bord Gais for 2014-2019. Also check your old email...

Don't worry, this is accurate address for Citizenship division of the Department of Justice.
Your package will be forwarded to the citizenship office.

And even if you win, the judge may instruct the Minister to give you a decision without granting the costs as Minister may argue that they would have given you a decision anyway. Better have some savings before going that route.

No. You must inform the Citizenship team if any of these happen: you become unemployed or claim social welfare, change your address, get arrested, charged with offence or a crime, leave Ireland for more than six weeks, get married or divorced. As you're still employed. although in a different job, y...

No. You will need 5 years of residence in the Republic or 3 years if you're married to Irish citizen.

If you believe that it was a GNIB fault rather than your father's or your own negligence then give this explanation. Most likely it will be pointed out to you that you're expected to take responsibility for immigration matters that concern you. Anyway, give whatever explanation you have when applyin...

So would you advise me to stay an extra seven months with my 5 years of residing in Ireland with reckonable residency? I know that a stamp 2 or 2A provides no reckonable residency. I will be applying as a dependent adult so I will be depending on my father's reckonable residency for the naturalisat...

It's normal. They often request repeated Garda vettings on the same applicant.
Still it's strange that they're asking for a consent.

Just give them your consent. At least it''s an update.
