Although you have no Irish association for them: Please submit copies of all documentation proving your Irish Associations e.g. birth certificates, foreign birth registry entry, naturalisation certificate. All copies should be certified to be true copies of original documents. You have no Irish docu...

I don't recommend do this, I advise to wait until you be naturalized, minors applications much faster - form 9 (no ceremony, no e-vetting) and much simpler - 4 pages vs 40.

When you applied? what's your timeline?

Application Based On: Non EU 5 years residence (Stamp 3+1G) (my wife)

Asked 25 people: 24 were applied from May 2021 to Dec 2021, 1 applied 2019 (but she mentioned that it wasn't straightforward application), surprised that no one was from 2022-2023

At the ceremony now, asked about 20 people when they applied - everyone from 2021. So yeah, they seems addressing the backlog

Sorry, you mean - don't send, or send?

According new rules, we shouldn't send old passport copies anymore, but if my kids changed their passports 6 months ago and I have their old ones (I don't need them anymore), may be send old original anyway (stronger proof they lived in state) with a label "shred them after that cause I don't n...

In Form 9: A letter from the Department of Social Protection stating that you are receipt of child benefit for your child, and the date on which payment commenced Where to get it? Before they moved everything to mywelfare.ie, there was welfare.ie where I was able to get this with children names, now...

no, no system

Yeah, my spouse asked TD, they redirected them to Senator - her secretary will ask about my spouse - she not approved yet and wait longer than anyone else here

We can speculate about EU/UK faster, spouses slower, but none of that is confirmed true, it is still black box.

Applied in early Sep 2021. Haven't received the payment link yet. Is there someone have the same waiting time?

My wife applied in July 2021, Last stage was NVB disclosure July 2023, no approval yet.
What's your timeline?

Any recent approvals, and pending applications, what timeline looks now - 1 year or less? Gonna submit mines after I got cert October

I hope they can print your cert with the new portion of certs after this ceremony, if they don't do it I'd say November 1, hire immigration solicitor and go to court

What with my wife? She applied with me July 2021, E-vetting disclosed July 2023, not approved yet
Does she have chances for this ceremony?
She mailed them about 5 times last month - no response. What you advise to do? 28 months already

I think it will be useless, they are different department, they don't know anything about certificates

Do they respond your mails?

I hope my wife will be approved and invited too... we both waiting 28 months already

I also want the same for my wife, so I hope they will have new phase of approvals despite 3 weeks left only (cause seems they do NVB disclosures recently, which can have only value now if they want approve them soon).

So, for the ceremony I should just:
* print the fidelity to sign it at the ceremony
* bring my passport/travel doc/irp - should I bring all 3? Or only IRP will be enough?

She already done FOI March 2023, do you advise another one?
