No more invitations for 11 March ceremony and no further confirmed dates for 2013. This is the reply I got this today. "The March ceremony is fully subscribed with people that have already received approval from the Minister. We have no dates confirmed yet for the other ceremonies in 2013".

Dear Iloveireland,

You have to send back one paper after ticking the appropriate columns. No need your signature. The other paper is required for your oath ceremony.

Sure, you will be included in the March ceremony. Don't worry. You already sent your GNIB card to INIS and therefore no need for a renewal.

Now they are busy with sending invitations and therefore they will not take any phone calls. That is why they announced the date on their website.

Thanks for your best wishes, I must agree that I had used this forum to post sadistic and inflammatory comments as I just could not bear that someone (a nurse who's husband who never worked and only lived on social welfare) who had applied in Jan 2012 and got approval and cert in October 2012.

Is it true that GNIB fee has increased to 300? I didn't see any news? Could you please share from where did you get the news.

Anybody has any information whether the 4000 invitations already posted or still have a chance to get some more invitations for 13 Dec ceremony?

Called today said they are sending the invitations for the ceremony.i don't know where someone said there are only 1000 in this ceremony because the woman told me that there are 4000. There should be 4 ceremonies 1000 each in 4 different times on 13th Dec. What did they tell you, whether they alrea...

Did anybody call citizenship section today?

Did anybody get invitation on today's post for 13 Dec ceremony? If so, please share.

Just wanted to let you know my daughter just received letter of naturalisation for Dec 13 ceremony. Applied March 2012 based on having arrived in the State as a family unit and being a dependant minor of a work authorisation holder. She arrived as a minor and now over 18. God luck to all those waiti...

Amazing! How he got the letter in night time? Anyway thanks for your info and best of Luck to everybody those who are awaiting invitation.

That means if your application is a standard one, you will get an invitation for December ceremony. In that case you will get the letter within 2 weeks. Could you please inform us when did you apply?

They are very clever. If INIS approve such applications before September they know that govt will lose lot of money since all these are students and is paying EU rate of fees in the University.

Dear Moro, Could you please advise me where to send the letter for getting the stamp-4? How long it will take to get the approval? I just sent it to the INIS in Burgh Quay , they replied in few weeks time asking for few documents , my parents copy of green card and a copy of mine , letters from sch...

Hi Cleangreen, Did you receive the invitation today for 15 Oct ceremony?

Did anybody else receive invitation for citizenship ceremony today? Please share your comments.

I know 3 people who got invitation, all are in 1st session.

guess they have staggered the posting of the letters in two batch's first could be for the 1st two ceremonies and have asked them to submit the GNIB card, fee and photo by 21st sept, and the second lot for last two ceremonies for the 15th Oct may come out on 14th sept and will ask them to submit the...

I think 4000 list is not complete. I anticipate some more approvals coming this week. Most of the people who got invitation is scheduled for 1st batch ceremony at 10.00 am. That means some more approval should come. Could you please share your timings for ceremony those who got invitation?
