The reality is they give priority to those applicant who pay tax and family members come last. Also they are looking at the backlog backwards to imply that they are processing applications faster. I don't think that is necessarily true, My friend applied in 2008, we both got our naturalization toge...

backlog? as much as I am happy for those who have got the approval, since when 2011 is backlog? no seriously so what about 2007, 2008? what does he call those?

how long time more its take Maybe give them a call to see if they have a different story to tell you this time around. Two of my friends that applied august 2010 and nov 2010 respectively, got approval letters in the post without the invite letter to the ceremony. To think i applied before both on ...

It looks to me since many applicants from Aug/Oct 2011 got their approvals , it has become a boiling pot for people waiting from 2008, 2009 and 2010 and early 2011. I have been told that the new format application forms are being processed faster as they are simpler to process and computer readable...

Since Apr 2011 they're telling me they are waiting for a garda report. I mean Curiosity landed on Mars but these guys are still waiting for a report. I have no idea what's going on. I have talked to whoever possible, but no luck. I don't know what's going on. same here, i have been getting this sam...

Any hope for spouse of Irish citizens? we're waiting since 2008 oh gosh!!! don't tell me? and i am here complaining i applied since mid 2...

Has any spouse of irish citizen received any letters recently? any hope of progress for spouse of Irish national? It seems like DoJ does not like married people anymore and do not care about families any longer.

My spouse applied in 2008 as a spouse of Irish Citizen. After almost 4 yrs we received this letter.

The forum is quiet these days.......... anyway, out of the blue this morning I received a letter from INIS stating: ' I am now writing to let you know that your application is currently being processed and will be progressed to a final decision as expeditiously as possible. In that regard, the Mini...

All .. any approvals out ? its been quite for a long time and i believe that there would be around 3500-4000 approvals are to come out .. but i don't see any thing out there. Is it that, the approvals are out and the members are not a part of the forum or just that there are none as of now .. the a...

I am very happy for those who have received their approval, however there is a question for me it seems like approval is very much depends on LTR. my spouse's application has been submitted in 2008 and also received LTR in 2006 but at that time there was no fee for LTR (the way I remember it). Once ...

As I promised, here is the link http://www.immigrantcouncil.ie/ I guess we should contact these people. They seem to care, they have been in media talking about the unreasonable waiting time. http://www.immigrantcouncil.ie/services/overview Our lives depend on this decision. Lets brainstorm and see ...

alpha_1 --> I sent the LTR update to the citizenship division. I got an acknowledgement from the 'Further Processing team'. It took around 9 months to go from initial to further processing team ( i am an aug-2011) applicant. I guess you too have got your LTR approval. Did you get anything back from...

Maybe if the figure 4000 is a hoax and its the government's way of telling to european union that they are bound to law, we should take an action ourselves. This does not seem to be right to wait for unlimited amount of time with absolute not answer from Dept of Justice. Maybe we should take this to...

hopefully angelcountry you read everything, this approval was for my son who is minor and it takes only 6 months for approval, by the way honest is my middle name ,and may be you don't know me, watch your words next time Well, if when you're born and at the registration of your birth you have middl...

What is the process based on? in fact, is there any process at all? I see some people get approval within 6 months (I am very happy for them) but some are waiting for over 4, 5 years. Dept of Justice do not bound themselves to explain anything, like people's life is a game to them. They do not reali...
