Good to know. Good Luck with this.
When did you apply for naturalization?
And I guess you also have LTR?

Rules If you are the spouse of an Irish citizen who is applying for Irish citizenship you must meet the following conditions: You must be married to the Irish citizen for at least 3 years You must have had a period of 1 year's continuous "reckonable residence" in the island of Ireland imm...

Hello everyone, great forum, thank for all your contribution to the topic, here is my experience Applied in Oct 2009 based on 5 year residency, no request for additional documents so far, I plan to send them my recent pay-slips and P21, called INIS yesterday to ask about the status of my applicatio...

I'm sure I've done these applications before (where the spouse didn't have the Naturalisation Cert for 3 years) and they've been successful, but I'll have to check. The INIS does not mention that this 3 year rule applies before naturalization or after. Given the fact that a person acquires citizens...

My goodness, this is ridiculous. Why can't they do them in chronological order? So according to their website, they are processing 2009 applications when there are people from 2007 still waiting.. really frustrating :( And if you look at the LTR page it says Applications for Long Term Residency - W...

This is very strange. There should be the difference between 1 or 2 weeks, or a month or 2 months. 6 month time frame is no where near to the applicants who applied in 2009, 2010 and even for some who applied in 2007/8

good to know. did you apply in 2010 right? Alpha_1 , what is your status ? Did you able to go through call today ? 2011inland, Fingers crossed ! Yes I just spoke to INIS, and they said that they did not even touch my application :( I applied in May 2010. They said they are processing 2009 batch and...

No luck as of yet I guess their lines are open from 10 - 12:30 but still can't even connect to main call.

I have been trying to call INIS just to find the status of my application I am calling 1890 252 854. Number is busy or it does not connect.

How fast can they reply on email? Does anybody have any experience?

There may be even more reasons to be optimistic yet: The justice minister said he had slashed the huge backlog of citizenship applications since coming to office and expected to have it completely cleared by spring next year. There are still 13,500 applications awaiting decisions for more than six ...

Hi Guys, It seems that INIS are issuing approval once a month and sent all letters in the same week. In may and June this was the case. I received my letter on june 16th and most people in the forum received between the 16th and 22nd.I remember that I sent my add documents at the same time as tired...

I need advice on my case: I have sent my filled Yellow form and related docs to INIS yesterday. And I am waiting for my CON. I need to apply for my young one for naturalisation once I receive my CON. She finished her Leaving Cert Exam yesterday (Lucky still below 18 years.) Please advice how to mak...

I applied in feb 2010 yes LTR- i posted to them - start of this week - i called them to confirm But they informed file with final processing thanks for everyone i got LTR mar 2011 You go LTR in Mar 2011. Don't worry your one should be coming in pretty soon. This is what the current trend tells us :...

@ 9jeirean: Very detailed and good analysis. Thanks for this post. I wonder how they are going to achieve 6 months time frame. I think they must be operating in 2-3 teams who are processing as follows: 1) Team A which is trying to clear the back log i.e. applications from 2007-Mid 2009 2) Team B whi...

Y'd i called inis - they have informed me that file is with final processing. any one can help me. what is there system. How long will take to get certi. What is your timeline?

What is your timeline?
When did you apply for naturalization?
And do you have LTR?

Seems like the initial burst of replies from INIS is subsided. From 16th till 22nd June. We were seeing alot of messages on this forum for approved applications.

Whats up guys? Any new approvals today?

Hi guys! I got the acknowlegment letter today that my additional documents were received on 20 th of June but the thing I didn't send any documents at all. So it should be mistake or whatelse?! I've just called them the other day and found out that the case is in the final stage. Do I need to reply...

ridiculous! they should seriously prioritise the people that's been waiting the longest.

at this rate it may be faster if I apply again with the new 6-month scheme.

outrageous.

True!

This is infuriating! Spoke to INIS and they advised me "that my file hasn't come back from the minister yet", even though last week I was told that my file is back but they are busy processing the backlog. It's great that the system is improving, but why can't you just get a consistent an...

My friend and my case is almost identical. We landed Ireland in Oct 2004. We both have LTR, from Feb 11. The only difference is I applied in Jun2010 and he applied in Oct2010 !! INIS said they still have to open 2010 cases which is totally false statement. Yes, there are many people including few w...

Yes I could get through the INIS help line just was inquiring about my wife's application as we applied at the same time, they still waitting for her garda report when I asked the lady when they expect to receive such reports she told me they are sending the reports in batchies and receive them in ...
