Hi AI...
I had applied on the "regular" 5 years rule living and working in Ireland. By the way I'm working in IT industry...

Cheers

Just for your info who might be interested to trace how they're progressing. I got my approval today, after 3 years and 5 months of waiting. Application was handled in Dublin's office.
Hope everybody alse who submitted their application in 2005 will get theirs soon too!
Good luck everyone.
