Yep, I think so.
I'm so glad I'm out of the frustrating wait now.

Ireland Hopeful, children's applications are processed in a different queue, faster than normal applications. I guess there would be not need any outside agencies. The fee for approval for children is 200e. Not sure how long it takes for the complete process though. Hi Agniukas, many thanks for the...

Hi all, Please can anyone inform me of the process for applying for citizenship for my child who is 11 years old, as the child of a naturalized citizen. She's been living and schooling here for over 10 years now. Do I apply for naturalisation for her and then pay another €950 when it is approved? ...

Hello ChIrl and IrelandHopeful, Would you mind me asking how come you got such quick appointments for the oath? Do you live outside Dublin? What court(s) did you use? Hi LuasPassenger, I called about 5 different courts which gave me far fetched appointments, but I persisted until I got one that was...

Hi ChIrl, I received the approval on 19th May (dated 18th May). Swore the oath of declaration on 20th May. Sent in my documents on 21st May. Received the cert of naturalisation on 15th June. Submitted my passport application on 15th June. I waited almost a decade to reach this stage and have no inte...

Hi all, To God's glory, I am happy to inform you that my approval came today by registered mail. :lol: 8) The journey has been very very very long, tedious, traumatic and annoying. But thank God, I have reached the end of the tunnel. :D I have worked a long straight stretch for over 8 years, neverth...

Hi all, my friend is asked to send her P21, payslips and bank statement. The prob is that she has no money in her bank account and she has been overdrafting during the last 3 months. Will this cause her any probs? She has a good immigration history though and she gets paid well enough! Her prob is ...

House, I have a few questions or 'no brainers'... The DOJ is the 'custodian & arbiter' of Irish Law, Equality & Justice. Therefore shouldn't the dept practice what they preach and be answerable to the law? Is it only in Ireland that citizenship is a priviledge & not a right? Is this the ...

My application has taken already 35 months and I know they're not expecting any documents from me. :shock: u must be Dublin office application Just for the craic of it... :lol: I think the Dublin staff should attend some training on work performance and time management, or just simply be "over...

A friend of mine applied on Dec 07. His solicitor sued the Minister in High court for the delay in processing his client's citizenship application and won the case. So the Minister had to approve my friend's application and pay his solicitors fees and expenses. Isn't this gas! Persol, Is this for r...

This is a simple & straight forward issue which you are bringing in complexities to.

However, if you are in doubt, you can consult an immigration lawyer or visit the INIS office in person for advice.

The minister says that the AVERAGE is 22 months (statistically that might be right, if they are processing a lot of recent ones, while ignoring the older ones, that would bring the average down without actually increasing performance!). Yet, they still claim that they are processed in chronological...
