It not only that, when you ring INIS they do not give you time line when they expect decision on any application. The 6 months processing time does not make sense if there is no time line give to each application. i.e- Say from 6 to 48months!! Ireland (INIS) has along way to goooo Look at the follow...

In my opinion we should contact our local TDs and all organisations dealing with immigration like: http://www.immigrantcouncil.ie/ http://www.nascireland.org/ And ASK the Minister of Justice a very simple question which he and the previous Minister of Justice rebuff and deny answering!! “The number ...

I am just enquiring if anybody in this forum recently contacted his/ her local TD or the Immigrant Council of Ireland’s (ICI) regard the naturalisation process?
We need to ask the minster of justice what is the difference between the standard application and complicated application?

yes, I got an answer that my application is being processed. The lines would be busy but you may eventually get through.

I still cannot understand why some people have to wait for 2.5 to over 4years. Are they going to give US a PhD!! I know a significant number of people applied late 2007 and still waiting. I do not know what ISIN waiting for Grada report or …ect!!

All what I hear from the people I know is that all the people applied for citizenship and already have long residence their applications were fast tracked and they got approval very quickly!! For some they got approval within 3 months!
I do not have long residence!! Waiting game!!

This fine!! But theissue is the gap in our residance!! Do day back date the Stamp 4?

Also what is about the immigration offices outside of Dublin, Do they started the renewal of residance?
