Tried to call yesterday, but miserably failed after trying for more than an hour. Sweet nescience for now. Congrats to all the recently approved thou!

Hi YMC, I do feel ur frustration. I was pretty much in your shoes. Said that as i mentioned earlier, if NOT phone talk to them by registered Post they do reply. Rest best of luck buddy...Your day will come... Regards Tiggs Thanks a bunch mate and congratulations on your own approval! I agree with y...

Called today, still waiting for Garda clearance, been there since September last. It's a joke, but somehow dont feel like funny.. When I started asking questions, the woman on the helpline just hung up on me. WTF :x At least something new and different from the ususal routine! I have made my mind, p...

Another one here with exactly same answer. March 2006 too, with Garda from September last. Unbelievable.

Congratulations to all those recently approved. Happy for all of you, must be such a relief!

I'd say time spent on intra-company transfer would not count for WCATT stamp. It does not count for long term residency, so probably wouldn't count towards WCATT The time on intra-company transfer counts for WCATT all-right, unlike LTR. I know somebody who got WCATT in this situation recently no qu...

Immigrant councils response - http://www.immigrantcouncil.ie/press_detail.php?id=93 Good to see their response and delighted that they now also noted about 23 months being a total hoax. Would have been even better if they also zoomed on the issue of non-chronological processing of application, whic...

Garda check requested in September 2008, SW check requested 15 December 2008--neither has come back yet. In the same boat, I dont even bother with smalltalk/rant anymore once they mention those magic words, o.u.t.s.i.d.e.a.... Just curious, how were you able to get the date of SW check request out ...

For what it is, a "privilege and not a right" The citizenship may well be a privilege (debatable), but the right to have your applicaiton processed expeditiously, fairly and, what most of us cry about, chronologically is a RIGHT, which dervices from legal principles of due process, equali...

i was on intracompany transfer visa during the first year and the rest of four years on workpermit. does the intracompany stamp count towards reckonable residence for naturalisation? does anybody here got approval of naturalisation based on intracompany visa+workpermit combinations? applied in jan ...

Thanks a mil, you are a good man indeed. Pity the solicitor is not in Dublin though..

[quote="goodone"]Hi NI, I have it. Let me go through a tiny etiquette check first and will send you the contact details in the coming few days.[/quote] Hi could you pm or email me too please, if that's okay with your mate, I am really fed up with INIS crap and considering some action. Than...

[quote="tom4"]Called INIS, still waiting for Social Welfare report. :roll:[/quote] Called last week, they are still waiting for Garda clearance, it's been stuck there for more than 7 months now with no progress! Bummer.. And your man said they are waiting for Social Welfare too, they never...

Thanks for posting this Congratulations It means that at least some have got this year Looking forward for ours, too. Seems like a new batch of approvals from the Minister, totally random again. A friend of mine received an approval end of last week, he applied Febryary 2006, was requested additina...

Wouldn't it be great to complain to someone, say to the Ombudsman and, hopefully see the justice served upon the Minister and his haunted INIS chiefs, it may be too late for our own cases, but at least other people wouldn't feel so bitter.. Section 5(1)(e)(i) of the Ombudsman Act 1980 provides that ...

I notice that lately they seem to have dropped their claim that they are processed in chronological order. The Minister still maintains that they deal with applications "chronologically", see a PQ below. Which proves, as we all know anyway, that he wouldn't even blink lying through his te...

Called today, my case is still with the Gardai, the lady was not helpful, just kept saying there is a backlog, it takes 3 to 6 months.. Was like talking to an answering macine. When I asked, she said they do not send reminders (there you go!.), she also said Gardai deal with requests chronologically...
