I had applied to get a copy of my record under FOI Act. I applied on 15th Feb. I was supposed to get my record by 15th March. Instead I had got a letter stating this: "Time Extension The Deciding Officer assigned to process your request has requested a time extension of four weeks to process t...
You make a request on behalf of your child. Your will need to provide your child’s ID as part of the application. Each FOI deals with one applicant only, so you need two applications for two children. Just to add, you also need a letter from your spouse consenting to release the record of your chil...

It's really shocking that I am yet to get receipt and reference number since they received my children's application in February 2020. Only received acknowledgement and nothing more. Absolutely unacceptable. [/quote] 3 years waiting for my child's application to be processed ... 3 years ... born in ...
My problem with going the JR route is why do some applicants have to spend more for the same privilege as any other applicant who gets a decision within months? Time and again we have seen on this forum where applications have not been touched in years and in some cases only action is a yearly ritua...
Just trying to understand what is taking so long. I’m an EEA citizen and been working here for 10 years with clean records. So I have been waiting anyway since summer of 2018. Anybody else still waiting? There are thousands (6000+) waiting for naturalisation for 3 years or more. But for a broad (re...
As for the backlog, the last update was in December, 24000+ applicants are in the system which include 6000+ people waiting for more than 3 years like me. This is a testament to the hard work the department has put in. The efficiency with which they are dealing with the applications should be taught...
Naturalisation is a non-issue for the minister, the ruling party, the govt and the Irish people. Because the people who are waiting for their naturalisation for years dont really matter to the national polity. That is why, there is no avenue other than Judicial Review which would cost money and time...
http://www.inis.gov.ie/en/INIS/Pages/publication-annual-review-2018 Thanks for a link. Page 22: "The top ten nationalities of people naturalised since 2011 are, in order: 1.Poland, 2.I ndia , 3. Nigeria , 4.Romania, 5. Philippines , 6. Pakistan , 7. China (incl. Hong Kong), 8.Ukraine, 9. South...
I agree with you on that one. It is disappointing when you have to wait for too long. However it is too harsh to assume that Department approaches people of Asian or other non EU countries with a discriminatory or ra-cist prejudice. We have a lot of Asians (Chinese, Pakistanis, Indians) being welco...
AFAIK, a Garda vetting cert is valid for 12 months. They have to request a new one to keep it up to date. I have never set a foot wrong in the eyes of the law in my life, anywhere in the world. Just give it to them, it won't any harm and will speak better than words. At least they will be satisfied...
Pluto, if they are conducting garda vetting on you every year without much progress, then this could be something for you to look at. Maybe they're not entirely sure about your criminal background. Try to send them police certificate from your home country or any other country that you have lived i...
Only people who have been waiting for years would understand how it feels to be ignored for so long. As I have said earlier, I had requested for FOI. They do a yearly ritual of requesting a Garda vetting certificate. So far they have 3. Soon enough they'll have the 4th one. Other than that, no one e...
I have asked my TD to ask this question in the Dail: "Among all the applicants currently in the system, what are the top 5 nationalities who have been waiting for the longest time on average for a decision. Also what is the current mean time to process for these 5 nationalities?" I am hap...
Yeah, it is really strange that some applications fell through for no particular reason. I have seen few situations like that on forum. Maybe the just got to some lazy person in the team... Another situation that the focus more on new applications that can be completed in 6 or now12 months kpi, oth...

I have applied on behalf of my child since July 2018 as well. Just got an Email today replies that "Your child's 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 subm...
I had applied in May 2018. Still waiting. No approval. Last time I emailed them in November, got a reply that my application is at advanced stage, whatever the hell that mean...
Hi, any movement on children's naturalisation applications? Any new approvals? I had applied on behalf of my Irish born child in July 2018. Anyone waiting for this long?
