So we are married (here in Ireland a couple of years ago, if that matters) and he is legal in Ireland and I am an Irish citizen. The question is, when changing from Stamp 3 to Stamp 4, is it a regular bunch of documents (marriage certificate, bill, rent, bank statements, etc) or there's an applicati...

Looks like things got speeded up, now it's 4th of December.

Applied 16/02/24
Processing 21/02/24
Estimated 21/03/24
Current status: processing

When I was in similar situation, I just explained this to my employer and they let me work with them while sill waiting for an IRP. Irish employers are pretty relaxed in that sense if you have some proof

they are processing now beginning of November

got it today! 18th, 1pm

I'm from 1pm and haven't received it yet

for passport, you'll need two different documents dated from at least two years ago with the name you want to use. For instance, if you're applying in March 2024, the documents should be from March 2022 or earlier. Deed poll isn't accepted, but proof of name usage is enough.

Not that I know and regarding the queue, my friend applied last week and they told him that they are now processing requests from September 08...

You are Ukrainian, right? If you want change Ukrainian spelling -> International Like Andrii - Andrew, just retranslate your birth certificate and ask them put the name you want. My Ukrainian friends did exactly like that, do it before passport. Yes, thank you. I've opened a chat with their support...

I am not concerned. There was a Christmas and New Year break, probably everyone's back to normal just this Monday. There was somewhere a quote (here: https://www.oireachtas.ie/en/debates/qu ... nswers-161 ) that the minister expects it to be at least 6 weeks waiting time.

bring personal stuff like photos together, whatsapp messages, lease, a letter from landlord could be good as well, if you're not faking it, it all should be good, just common sense, proving that you're two are together and not frauding it. it can be intimidating but if there's nothing to hide, it sh...

Hey guys, has anyone changed their name right after getting a naturalisation certificate? I looked it up and it looks straightforward (naturalisation certificate -> changing the name -> applying for a passport) but my solicitor said that I need to get an Irish passport first and then change my name ...

no news, but it should be either this or next week, I'd say

so, pure speculation, but we should expect the ceremony around the first week of December (4-5th of Dec) with the invitations being sent out mid-November?

I applied in Feb 2022, got the mail on 22d of May as many of others but still no invitation to start the e-vetting process. However, I can see people getting invitations from March 2022 and onwards. I guess it's just a question of luck but so tired of this

guys, realistically, is there any chance to get invited for this June ceremony if I got the email for the e-vetting just on May 22?
