:o . You have been living in Ireland illegally then and I dont know what the INIS will make of that. You must come up with a valid reason as to why your GNIB card is not up to date since last year because that is clearly not abiding by the rules of your stay in Ireland and defying the immigration ru...

Would you think that someone who got caught speeding once in their life is a danger for Irish society? And is that type of person less of a danger now than it was 5 years ago? If not, why would that person not deserve citizenship 5 years ago, and deserve it today? Well I think a drunk driver is cle...

There are already lots of requirements to meet before applying for Irish citizenship and that is enough already. The Irish government have reviewed the Citizenship-Test and found out its too much burden for applicants having to meet all these requirements. @Jeupsy , you're from France, and no one ov...

My wife and all my children have received citizenship in this year without any problems Ofcourse your wife and children could receive citizenship because each case is treated individually. Your wife and children have absolutely nothing to do with you or your case! in citizenship process. There is s...

well that is not (corrected) good enough for the people in this forum to believe you and symphasise with you . it has to be something man , do you have an ex.wife/Girlfriend , any person who may know about your application , and who may wish you do not acquire Citizenship ?? you will need to sit ba...

hi all just ten days befor my citizenship ceremony i got letter they say your citizenship ceremony has been withdrawn this because further evaluation of your case is required before your application can be granted in a citizenship ceremony what that mean ? Can you tell us more about this? I have he...

I think it would make sense to change the law so that minor offences are consistently excluded regardless of the government in charge or the person processing the application; and instead it would make more sense to request minimum English or Irish language proficiency and make sure future citizens...

GOD Forbid anyone applying for citizenship is a serial killer... I wouldn't know much about Individual cases. I should have mentioned, someone with series of traffic offences may have been granted citizenship a few months back whilst someone applying in the coming months with the same offence may b...

I doubt a decision can be made on 9000 applicants before the end of the year...But yes, when its all cleared, I guess we will be hearing more about deferrals .. .Now, How will one challenge the fact that some people with serious "criminal records" were granted whilst deferrals are being g...

Well the 9000 applications shouldnt be decided for a backlog to be cleared. People apply for citizenship every day really so there can never be all cleared applications. And I also should remind you that it takes up to 6 months for an application to be decided which means that there must be atleast ...

Could anyone let me know: - The contact number/email address to ask about the application status for naturalization office in Tipperary For those who had successfully progressed to the Approval stage: - How many stages or email of acknowledgement you had received ? - What is the time frame for each...

The total number of applications awaiting a decision currently stands at 9,000, which is less than the total number of new applications received over a 6 month period. That says it all!, and as I predicted by the end of 2013 all backlogs will be cleared!, at that is the case. Applications from 2014...

the sitizensinformation web page says: " all non-EEA nationals, including those with visas, must obtain permission to enter the State by reporting to an Immigration Officer at the port of entry. The length of time you will be allowed to stay in Ireland is determined by the Immigration Officer ...

T & G wrote:hi everyone
and one more question- when does the time of visiting start- once the visa issues or when the applicant enters the country?
any advice will be geatly appreciated.
thank you in advance.

Visit starts from the date endorsed on his Visit Visa regardless he enters the country or not

Hi, My friend about three years ago had one traffic offense (using mobile phone while driving) and he was fined 60 EUR which he paid immediately and held receipt. He submitted his naturalization application couple of months ago and in the question related to any crimes he did not mention that traff...

@IntegratedMigrant Mate, could you help me in another matter please, I applied for eu1 in feb 2013 after my PR application was declined on the basis of my eu spouse was not excersising her rights continiously for five yeards.i already have completed 60 months of legal residency in the state. Right,...

Thanks mate for your reply, You will however embrace the waiting peroid of of your application because it will take longer than a normal application. Say like a year or so or more? Have you come across someone with the same Scenario? Yes it'll take up to a year or more, but then April 2014 is a bit...

Hi, I am new on the forum, and would like some suggestion. I am in ireland for almost 10 years, nearly 7 years on eufam 4. I am planning to apply for naturalisation in Appril 14, but unfortunatley i was convicted for traffic offence today, i broke a red light last year while on a bicycle, got the c...

I absolutely think that the Gardai take it out on foreigners. They are so quick to bring foreigners to justice. And I mean so quick!. I've seen Gards themselves broke the traffic light by bike. This is really appaling and I always call a spade a spade!

IntegratedMigration, thanks for the telling me about the post-nuptual citizen option being no more. I was under the impression that it was still an option. I realise that I've misunderstood the information. Sorry. I am registered with revenue yes and did receive some letters about tax. But as I've ...

I did a search on here but didnt find much on what I needed, so hoping someone out there can shed some light? I will be applying for post-nuptual citizenship in 3 months time. My one big worry is that I am registered as self-employed since April. I work from the house and I "invoice" my c...

Hi IntegratedMigrant. Thank you for all your replies, but how can you say I am being "ungrateful" when you were the one that hijacked my post? I appreciate you pointing out the things you did but it wasnt even what my question was about??? Now that I am trying to get a straight answer fro...
