Do you know how to do this? Is there a defined process?

Applied Sep 2006 Got both LTR and Naturalisation Nov 2008 Thanks for the update. This leaves no doubt that LTR application would have an effect on Naturalsiation application. Too late for me now anyway, applied May 06 and didn't need LTR (hadlong term stamp 4 on the basis of marriage to Irish natio...

do you recall in what name you had to do the draft? silly question I know but I am thinking to do the draft today and I forgot the letter at home - Monday!!!

Thanks for info, I know that they will send me the format if they need. But what I am asking here is that do any of the forum users have already this standard format (who have been asked by Doj to supply the certificate previously). Submitting these documents in advance makes more sense to me rathe...

Funny thing - they are not mentioning the month any more (like which month's applications they are processing now) Look at http://www.inis.gov.ie/en/INIS/Pages/Long%20Term%20Residency and they are saying it's taking 18 months. In that respect they are processing applications from Dec 2006? I applie...

if they need it they will send you the template so don't worry

Well we haven't yet heard that police clearance cert is asked from naturalisation candidate as well? Think it's only for LTR applicants?

The other side of the coin is that they also know if someone gets an Irish passport they will be eligible to work anywhere in Europe without the need of a work permit hence may leave Ireland for a better prospect country such as UK (they have better shock absorption in the event economy takes a U tu...

Interesting - 'cause if this is true most of the lives never begin in this shamrock land

Well their contractors (IT) may be working over weekends...but if it's the handiwork of a hacker let's give him/her some credit to make us see the light at the end of the tunnel?

What are they doing now? Binning all the files into Liffey or what !!! At this speed they will do applications of August 2009 in December 2008

Someone mentioned here before that time end to end (when DOJ starts looking at one's papers and one gets the naturalisation) is 4 weeks?

Maybe I am wrong...

no

You need to apply in the countries you lived...

I applied in Nov 2006 (note the year 2006) and I heard from them 2 weeks back asking for more docs

Well the issue as I see it is a little different here. Here the Prime Minister himself is lobbying with the US govt for the plight of the immigrants in US.. So the question is: how many of our own prime ministers or why go so far - our embassies here in Ireland - liaise with the Irish government and...

The sections of the website that I can think of are: 1. Home/About Us 2. Contact Us/Join Us 3. Online Petition (it will need two types of functionality: one to write it and others to sign it) 4. A forum of its own (similar to this) 5. News (this is where we can add relevant news items from local new...

Many thanks. I still haven't heard from DOJ but looks like they will ask for it anyway.

Has anyone in the forum here lived in the UK before and and got a police clearance cert from there? Will appreciate if someone can share experience/procedure....
