Re. the Google docs spreadsheet: this was nothing to do with @Sulla. It was created by @SLwlss who hasn't been logged in since June. Thanks for the correction. I can't send SLwlss a PM either. Perhaps they have them turned off? The good(?) news is that I made a copy of it on 26 October. It's a few ...

The tracking spreadsheet on Google Docs has suddenly gone private. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/127de6t5A5Q3XzKBOIVHKjnE9Mn0-Xjl3EhYBB2D2epA/edit#gid=108802943 It was there last I looked a few weeks ago. What happened to it? Is it coming back? Anyone have a copy so we can keep this going?...

A quick question - does anyone know if you need to send a marriage certificate if there is no name change? I am married but have not changed my name and am applying through my father who did not change his name either. My previous comment is just for you. I would still submit your parents marriage ...

Irish passport webchat today:

"Unfortunately FBR is closed until further notice. We have no update as to when it will recommence"

All I want to know at this stage is if we missed an email asking for further clarification or something.

SLWyss, thanks so much for putting together the Google sheet. Great work! On the montly summary page, could you freeze row 1 with the column titles, so when you scroll down you can remember what the columns mean? I think you do that by clicking on the "1" in the leftmost column and then f...

Thanks to alittlelate and everyone for putting their details in my spreadsheet. Currently based on 107 data points (users) the average time to completion is shown in the table here:

I have found this forum useful as many other appear to over the past year or so in working out what the current status is with regards to FBR timelines. Previously a forum member collated all the available timelines periodically and posted them in a succinct manner. Below is my attempt at this, alt...
