Hey All - So I was in the ceremony on the 19th of December@ 1pm. No certificate yet!! BUT a question for all, My IRP is close to expiring and I have plans to travel. Do I need to renew considering I went through the ceremony?? As you all know the DOJ website is less than helpful and I have a better...

my friend who attended the ceremony on 19th 10 am just received his certificate.

i am 19th 1pm. at this point i feel like is going to be min 2 weeks from today. Amazing performance really. They should be proud

how do you know ? Is this shared somewhere ?

I wonder if anybody from the 19th have already received their certs or have a guesstimate when that might be

Certificate was printed on 14 and posted on 31 January.

Good luck everyone waiting

thanks for the update. curious to know what happened between 14 and 31. 17 days. woow

Thank you for sharing this. Failing to voice our concerns through complaints or petitions is unlikely to prompt any improvement in their frequent failures and the overall deficiency of this service. The notion that 6000 ceremony attendees constitute a body of work is laughable. They were aware of t...

I had emailed the minister office and asked for an update. sharing the response i received today. Last paragraph is interesting. It doesnt mention anything about traveling or what we should submit to our employer as a proof. >Thank you for your correspondence regarding naturalisation to the Minister...

Hi thanks for the reply no I am not a refugee. I just don’t understand why we have to wait so long is there anyone still waiting from the 2nd of October ceremony I have emailed them again today I have searched and searched for a contact number for them I even drove to their office and got no were t...

either they dont know how frustrating it is not being able to check the progress or they simply dont care at all. does anybody know who to contact if this is seriously delayed ? The only way to get timely answers (and I use the term answers loosely) is to raise your issue(s) with a TD and let them ...

Its funny because my friend asked me to send him a photo with the cert. He assumed that the cert was issues during the ceremony because thats what happens in other countries. nothing justifies six weeks for a cert. I think we should raise some voice by signing a petition or something. Irish take tha...

I think they can improve this process by issuing a temporary certificate in the ceremony which folks can submit to their employer. We are naturalised now but still stressed over stuff . We deserve better

received approval letter yesterday which says i need to pay the fee to be considered for the 18th & 19th ceremonies. My problem is that i am leaving for Christmas holiday and wasnt really expecting to receive the approval letter as my disclosure viewed date was only 8 days ago. Does anybody know...

I've applied back in Aug 2022 but i havent received the evetting invite that pretty much everybody have received on May 22. I sent them an email in early September asking them why and confirm my email address. They responded directly with the evetting invite. Since then i received another evetting i...

Does anybody know if getting the evetting invitation mean that there was nothing wrong or missing with the application ? I was a bit worried about the 6 weeks rule. My answer to that question was yes providing explanation along with evidence . Now that i got the evetting invitation i am curious if a...

Its the ISD form. I've applied back in August 22, got ack letter on January 2023 and only receiving the ISD form for evetting .

Anyone who submitted the application in the second half of 2022 still hasn’t received the NVB link? Is that the first email for evetting ? I applied on 08/22 havent heard anything other than the ack mail. woow. i received the invitation email literally 10 seconds after i posted the above message

Do you find this helpful? I am aware that this increases the pressure on them, but they never respond to applicants. I believe the only times I have received a response from them were when my solicitor sent the letter by mail and email and they responded immediately. a friend of mine told me the sa...

Even that wording has recently changed from the MoJ. The citizenship department letter that came out earlier this year stated they expect to naturalise the majority of 2021/2 and 23 applicants this year. The MoJ has recently said decisions should be made on these applications by end of year, no lon...

They won't and they never committed to it, unfortunately. Just said that these applicants are planned to be invited/are expected to be invited/etc. Our expectation is that applicants from each of the years below will be amongst those invited to citizenship ceremonies over the course of 2023. If i k...

I asked my solicitor this very questions when it took them 5 months to acknowledge my application and this amount of time tipped me over into 2023. He said the 19 month processing timeline starts from when they received it, not when they acknowledged it regardless of the number it's assigned. It ma...
