This is a long shot but here we go: I was reading some UK citizen's application for Irish naturalization and he shared the timeline of events and how much each step took. He mentioned that first he got acknowledgement letter and 15 months later he got another letter saying his application is proceed...

congrats James! It looks like they got quicker and dealing with backlog quite fast.

I sent the postal order yesterday for €500, and wrote a letter like "you can find it attached". Today I got a mail saying "if you change your address while your application is under consideration please let us know". Honestly I am confused as I was expecting the letter of approv...

Hi everyone, Can anyone please advise me about the 6 weeks role, I am confused, I want to send my application next month, but I believe I have traveled out of the state for several times during my first year, I can’t count days as I don’t have stamps in and out because I have stamp 4 EUFam, but I t...

does anyone know what this means? I submitted my E vetting on 11. Apr 2022, and the website shows me,28Apr 2022 disclosure viewed. but on 29 May 2022 shows the download expired ?? what does download expired mean? does it happen to anyone before? Someone shared the timeline of eVettings, step by ste...

Few notes and suggestions below: 1. Add extra days before applying for citizenship, if you have missing 12 days, apply a month later so they won't send your application back with missing days. Waiting for an extra month won't hurt you, but will be safe play for your application. 2. Your IRP is consi...

For the applicants of September 2020, have you tried sending FOI request to see their progress? Or ask solicitor to send a letter threatening with going JR route? They will ignore you otherwise. That would be a good idea, but again it's MORE time. 6 weeks ago they said the next communication would ...

Got my acknowledgement letter today, it only took 7 months. And letter mentions it takes 23 months to process applications, so we will see

Application Based On: Non EU 5 years residence (Stamp1 + Stamp4) Applied On: 17 November 2021 Application received On: 18 November 2021 E-mail/phone call to confirm address: No idea (applied via solicitor) Passport: Passport received registered post 9/12/2021 Acknowledgement+Payment Receipt: 16/06/2...

Hi all - just wanted to update you with my experience, which fortunately hasn't been as tortuous as some of yours... I've just received my new Irish passport (ExpressPost) - less than two weeks after my tracker status going from "Processing application - We have received your supporting docume...

I pushed them by sending a mail saying “do you need my new IRP card” (it was after 2 months of my application) after 1 month they replied to me saying “yes” (more details on earlier posts), I sent them a certified copy of it and a week later got the accepted letter. I sent them my question as normal...

Yes, actually I got the approval letter like a week ago, so now I need to pay. For me, it took 4 months (applied in February, got approval in June). They answer the questions via letter in a month or less.

Anyone that got acknowledgement letters recently did you get eVetting form with it? Or was it just the acknowledgement letter? I mean for the people applied after August 2021.

My solicitor wasn't keen on using GP bills with my previous address on it, I don't know if he used or not thou. You can still put them and include explanation in your cover letter that you forgot to update your address on your bank. Doesn't hurt to try I guess.

Regrettably, the current average processing time for naturalisation applications for minors is approximately 23 months.

It's the same time for adult's applications also, so not really surprising.

At this point, it's too late to change anything. So just mention this in your cover letter. Don't cross out anything on any of your documents. Just explain, and see what they say. No need to get over worried up front.

They can refuse your boarding for any reason, even because how you look at them. The only action you can take later on is file a complaint and get some money using websites like Resolver that guides you with air travel rules. So that's why you should be nice with this stuff, they can ruin your trave...

This is useless. The whole process and treatment depends on the airline personnel. I have been questioned for things that no one cared before, or was told I can't do something that I am actually allowed to do. Long story short, just follow the rules and show whatever they ask for. Or they will just ...

Check this one: https://www.irishimmigration.ie/statement-from-the-minister-for-justice-on-the-arrangements-for-the-renewal-and-registration-of-immigration-permissions-post-31-may-2022/ They extended 30 day rule for renewal to 12 weeks: The requirement to wait until the final four weeks before renew...

I think instead of public or anonymous petitions there is higher chance to send an email to your local TD requesting more ceremonies. They might bring it up at parliament which will be directed to Justice Department, which will have more direct impact. Just google who is my TD and find your TD using...

Whole process is very ambiguous... applied for myself (30/08/2021) and my wife (06/09/2021) with diff of 1 week. Evetting done for me in first week of April but no evetting letter yet for my wife... They probably put remaining applications in 2021 on hold, something like no more processing of appli...

My friend received the approval today was dated 20 May and including swearing the oath of fidelity. They asked to return within 30 days and not mention anything about the ceremony..

Well it's good news for your friend but it's not really helpful for other people waiting for approval.

Many thanks for your responses, its just unbelievable that they have not even reviewed the application, 5 months after submission :( :( :( :( :( Don't worry, I am waiting for more than 6 months now and there is still no update. I sent an email to one of the TDs about this, not sure if I will get an...
