Since your applications is a standard one, it will be processed as a standard, residency-based application. Although speaking from my own experience, I think that your marriage will be considered, but it will not be a major factor when making a decision. I have also been married to Irish citizen at ...
As of today you need to provide three different proofs of address in addition to banks statements and payslips. Things are changing regularly. You are getting ahead of yourself and it's too early for you to think about citizenship. Read the following guidance: https://www.irishimmigration.ie/wp-cont...
It means that your name and the correct address are shown on the bill for your broadband. Just having a broadband bill will not be enough. Have your name on at least one more utility bill. You can be asked to show up to date utility bills in many different situations like renewing your permission, o...
I have recently got my own broadband connection & I am gonna be getting broadband bills hereafter in my name to the address I am staying currently. Would that work? It will be accepted as long as the broadband is registered to the same address, and it's not a "mobile broadband". You w...
Neither of those are valid proof of tenancy as the tenancy has not been registered with PRTB and the property has been subletted without the consent of the landlord. Very likely that you will be asked to show utility bills with your name on them. Speak to the landlord directly and ask to add your na...
The negative impacts of long absences from the State, especially on citizenship applications have been discussed on this forum many times. Check the last ten pages and you will find a few topics. When you are a legal resident, you are expected to live in the State and prove it when renewing your per...
Hi. Does anyone know if more approval letter will be sent out to the applicants after the ceremony on 27th July? or did they stop sending affidavits? Of course there will be more decisions made this year. The Department fulfilled their target of giving decisions for 6500 applications most of which ...
No problem, then it's really up to you. You can get a permission as a mother of an Irish-citizen child, or a wife of an Irish citizen when your husbands gets his certificate. The latter will be preferable and more straightforward.
How can you have an Irish born child if neither you nor your husband are Irish citizens yet. A child who was born in Ireland to a non-Irish parents does not become Irish citizen automatically since 2005. Contact your registration office, explain the situation and ask for an appointment.
You cannot apply as a wife of an Irish citizen until your husband receives his citizenship certificate as he will only be considered an Irish citizen from the date shown on the certificate. Wait until your husband gets his certificate and then apply for a permission to remain on a basis of being a w...
How long does it take to receive the certificate? I got my approval beginning of July and still haven’t heard anything back from them :( About 6 weeks. Wait until six weeks have passed since the day when you sent your signed Declaration. If it does not arrive, sent an email or a letter. Most likely...
Verona-actually it is not same for everyone unfortunately. For Pakistan origin they ask for extra documents once they scan documents and expect to restart the process once they have received documents. I have read a few complaints from people from Pakistan. It appears that the issue is caused by th...
If you believe that you've been discriminated against because of your ethnicity, you're entitled and encouraged to report it to the guards. It's a crime under the Irish law. If you feel strong about it to make such allegations against the passport office, then you should not be afraid to speak up op...
Polarcub, your frustration is understandable, but your allegations of rac-ism aren't just exaggeration, it's absurd. People who are Irish be descent (it's called Irish by descent, not "ethnic Irish") have always been subjected to a different criteria, that's why we have FBR which that allo...
but the online tracker moved from "pending receipt of documentation" to "application processing". This means that your supporting document have been received. As per email receipt: " We will only start to process your application when we receive the documents listed below a...
No one refusing to issue you a passport or telling that it is a privilege. Wait until your estimated date, then try to make inquiries. If you need a passport urgently, apply for an emergency passport.
Issuing an identity document is a very serious matter. Especially for the first passports where they need to verify supporting documents. Give them their 10 weeks. No need to overdramatise over the accuracy of the progress tool. Read the small print: "*Please note the estimated issue date is an...
Passports have been held for more than 2-3 months since last year. Accordingly, the notice was published on the Citizenship website advising not to submit applications and passports if you believe you will need it soon as it is not possible to return them quickly. If you need your passport, request ...
Can you please share when your documents were received by them and on what date status changed to 'processing' ? My supporting documents were delivered on the next working day. I did not track it so can't say when status was changing. By the way my original passport had already expired on the date ...
Got my standard passport today, 26 July 2021.
Applied on the 10 June 2021.
Original passport, birth certificate and naturalisation certificate were returned a month later.
But they did not return certified translation of my Vietnamese birth certificate. Not sure why.
If offfences were commited before the application was send, it should have been declared on the form with copies of receipts for fines paid if any. Not reporting will do more damage than reporting if discovered later as it will mean that the applicant made a false declaration. 11.1 Have you ever com...
Does anyone have any clue about penalty points does it reflect on Garda Vetting for Citizenship as I have 3 penalty point on my Driving license does it make any difference. If you declared them in the application, it's ok. If you did not declare, then there will be a problem. They may show up on th...
