So an update on my progress. There has been some success I'm one of the December e-mail lot and currently at 2 years and 3 months (819 Days). Application : 15 May 2019 Confirmation docs received: 29 May 2019 Confirmation of address email: 14 December 2020 2nd Confirmation of Address email 23 July 2...

Yes, I was getting a bit worried about the delay between 'address confirmation' and 'congratulations' emails since I replied to the former pretty promptly, and wondered if some last minute problems had been discovered with my documents that would see the whole lot rejected, or if the certificate wa...

I 100% agree, Whip. What do we know about their activity at the moment? Are the DFA increasing the number of FBR applications they are getting through? Wish we knew more about what's going on! Unfortunately, most of what I know is coming from here, and even the last day or two have changed that sto...

It is frustrating but I think we all have a lot of company. I think we just have to hang in there and hope that they continue to work through these applications. Best to everyone. I have very much appreciated this community as we all wait. Yes, this is the way. It's clear at this stage there's litt...

Feeling frustrated now - coming up for 2 years as well here... Applied 09/07/2019 Confirmation of receipt 12/08/2019 .. Nothing... Asked for new photographs of my son 16/12/2020 Confirmation of address 31/05/2021 ..... Nothing... My application is with Team 2 Felt i was close, now i can see people ...

The timelines for completion really aren't making much sense right now. My documents were also received in October '19, and I'm one of the 'lucky' ones who received a confirmation of address email this month. That said, based on every other timeline here, my certificate should already be on the way....

Summer 2019 applicant with December verification of address just received certificate and original docs returned today. Best of luck everyone especially those on the 26 months and counting since application and 7 months since we were told it is in the mail. Hope springs eternal. I am sure these guy...

Wow, big news for the December drop-off crowd!

Hopefully more timely updates to come, and that the congratulations / certificate shipped message isn't far behind.

Hey Dolewhip! At least there was some progress, right? I would be so thrilled to see that notification for my son (June 2019 applicant). We are feeling completely abandoned by FBR staff... hope is really getting dim. Agreed, it's a better update than nothing! Just sort of a double-edged sword, give...

Heya Dolewhip! I think the Confirmation of Address email means that they are processing your certificate and are checking that they have the correct address to send it out to - so it's good news! I'm definitely hoping it's good news! The issue is that a few members here (including jgclancy) receive...

No new update on my situation, but since it's been 9 days since receiving (and replying to) the address confirmation email, I'm pretty curious what's going to happen next. Again, heard from Team 1: Application submitted online: 7th October 2019 Email acknowledging receipt of documentation Balbriggan...

And with that, today I made it to the next stage. Heard from Team 1: Application submitted online: 7th October 2019 Email acknowledging receipt of documentation Balbriggan: 24th October 2019 Confirmation of address email: 13th July 2021 Congrats / added to FBR: pending Certificate received: pending ...

I asked the dfa officer for a tracking number and copied it into my usps informed digest and make sure I was around

Great idea, thank you! However long it takes to get that address confirmation email (could be next week; could be in five months), will keep this in mind.

A certified copy counts as an original. All, certificates are copies by definition as they are a copy of the official register held by the register office. You should be fine. Cheers, that's helpful. I know I'm 100% eligible and submitted everything necessary, but seeing later applications start to...

I think you didn’t need to send in all those documents aside from your parents FBR certificate. As in, did you send in previous generation certificates from grandparents and great grandparents? From my understanding if the previous generation is on the FBR then they don’t need to go further generat...

Sounds like the best timeline one could ask for right now - congrats! Question: how was the certificate mailed to you, and did you have to sign for it? Not that it matters at the moment (still waiting for address confirmation email), but I’m going to be traveling for about 4 weeks in September, and...

Congrats to Ansah & Fogg - happy for you. Two pints for ya tonight. Now I just copy & paste people's successes and send reply after reply to my address confirmation email from Dec 15th 2020! Still nothing and I doubt anyone reads my emails but it makes me feel better. October & November...

Hi, just recently discovered these boards. Live in the US, 2nd generation, Irish grandparents. Timeline: Applied for FBR, sent fees and documents in October 2019.

25 months and counting... (May 2019) Team 5 by the way. Last correspondence was when they asked for updated photos (child applications) in October 2020. They got them but that is the last I heard. 24 and a half months and also counting…(June 2019) Don’t know which team- no correspondence since appl...
