Yes, he is an irish citizen now because his father was an irish citizen when he was born. He is NOT an Irish citizen automatically as his Irish parent was not born in Ireland or Northern Ireland. However, he can be registered as an Irish citizen upon application. Oops, that's right, you must first ...

You have to wait.

I'm astonished that she was "at liberty" to divulge this highly sensitive, classified, secret information - see my earlier post. (maybe just a touch of sarcasm crept in there).

Oh, FFS!!! Called today, still waiting for, you guessed it... outside agencies. But here's the strange bit - they have already told me that garda checks are complete and today she said that the social welfare report came back "recently" but would not give a date, "not at liberty to sa...

The man at dolphin house told me that they only do 20 per week.

Maybe try writing them a letter explaining the situation and listing the page, dates and stamp No. for each stamp, include a new copy of your passport for them to refer to. They might not give it to you because you are no longer on work permits, but perhaps if you pointed out that you have already q...

if the section had less calls, they could reduce the number of dedicated personnel answering helpline calls and transfer them to processing which would be much handier than just answering the same queries time and time again, especially when the applicant already knows that his applications need a ...

And the same from me.
It seems that they are slowly picking off all those around my time of application (June '06), I wonder when my turn will come.

I have been toying with the idea of just getting British and Irish passports but am not sure if it's even legal to have 3 passports (Irish, British and Australian)? Any ideas? They all allow dual citizenship, but I'm unsure if that only extends as far as one other citizenship. Yes, perfectly legal,...

My 2 cents worth... Virtually no limits either way. If you are eligible for both (I think so), then get both. You never know what will happen with citizenship laws in the future. Some would say that Irish is better from a personal safety and friendliness of locals point of view, British foreign poli...

Can you post a link to the appointments page?

It looks like you might be trying to boost your post count, most of them seem meaningless.

Moderators?

Where did you find these figures?

Nobody I know has had a reply either.
The same goes for TDs, not one of them has responded to anybody I know.

As you say benifa, registered letter only.

After 26 1/2 months waiting and supplying documents almost three months ago I have received my response from INIS for my LTR application. I was refused because I have "come to the attention of An Gardia Siochana" and something about the MoJ cannot be sure I am of good character. Sorry to ...

I applied my application in dec 07 and last time i heard from them was about a year ago,Should i ring them? If I were you, I would call them because I know of a few people who applied in Feb '08 who have recently received a letter requesting more documents. I was employed when i applied my applicat...

This is no time to be sitting around in the sun on a foreign holiday, they have a huge backlog to clear!!!

I shall join benifa and get my coat too.

Folks, I received my info request yesterday for P21 etc. but I don’t have the origin Long form copy of my birth cert. I’ve arranged to get a copy but it going to take 20 days. Do you think I should send on the P21 etc now and when my birth cert arrives send that separately? Anyone have any idea...

That does seem odd, maybe they check self employed people a bit more than others regarding finances?
Your timelines are more or less in line with mine (or a little later), and still I wait...

Congratulations hussie.

From what i can gather...
x = 4 to 6 (but some have been quicker)
y = 2

When did you get your letter asking for more documents?

Rustig, I am a little confused here.You say you got a letter from INIS yesterday regarding your application...but how come you post a message on the 4th April 2009 saying you got your approval letter on the 1st April 2009? If I have it wrong here,please accept my apologies!!! I just checked that ou...

I wrote them a letter last week. Yeah, I didn't think they would have done it on their own initiative. I decided to do so every week until something happens.. Ha ha ha, they deserve that! :lol: Although probably not much point if it is already with the minister. Unfotunately they do not say when th...

Did you write to them or did the letter just arrive without any request from you?
My guess is that you might have about 4 weeks to wait, if it has gone to the minister for a decision, as they seem to indicate.
