inis email 19thMarch+9thMay: reply checking good character etc
24.May 2013: Approval!!
Ceremony:?

Congratulations to all who got approved recently and googd luck to everyone still waiting. My partners waiting time was nearly 10 month.

I cant believe it!! My partner got his approval letter today as well!! (he has applied at the end of July 2012). Just 3 weeks ago or so we emails inis and the answer he got was "checking good character etc". So I see now that the respond by email is not always correct. We had already finis...

[quote="IntegratedMigrant"][/quote] We? Dont be negative. Keep emailing them every month and hope for the best :) We, because it kind of involves our whole family - but as I have said previously, we will just forget about it for a while and live our lifes without worrying about it constant...

I havent been calling anyone a dearly beloved. You can dislike to many foreigners becoming a nationality without being a dearly beloved. OK, you're insinuating that the INIS staff members are xenophobes then? Admit it No I dont. That would still mean that I think they are dearly beloved, which I di...

By the way, we were emailing inis for the last time yesterday (and we have decided after their reply not to bother them anymore, since it wouldnt change anything anyway). The answer we got was first the same as in march ... that they are still process the application to establish his good character ...

If one of the INIS Staff has a good day - good for the applicant lying on their desk that day - if they have a bad day or your application comes to someone who is not so happy about foreigners becoming irish - dont wonder why things delay. It seems to me unfair and just a luck game. You're calling ...

I dont think there is a proper system and it really depends on each individual working on each case what letter will be send out or when someone will move to the next stage. I know someone who got her papers within 6 month, who has never worked in her life, Social Welfare is paying her house (becaus...

Hi All Just to share the progress, my husband applied for citizenship based on my naturalisation (I got this march). He applied on 3rd April and today got the letter saying that his application has successfully moved to second stage. Seems very fast this time, mine took 11 months to get to second s...

Anybody who got approval applied on July'12 or later thanks My partner has applied in July 2012 and we were hoping to be approved already, because his cousins wife got approved within 6 month but unfortunatelly it didnt happen to him so far ... I dont think we will hear anything this year at all ...

So do you think all invitations for the next ceremony have been sent out already?

I dont think anyone thinks about complaining during their application process. But I have to agree, they are quick at answering emails, though the answers are not always satisfying.

my partner got his EU Family Card after 6 month and 8 days and his GNIB Card had expired a few days before.

We got the same email replay, dub007. Just check my post a little up on the same page. It means that you are in second stage. We are in that stage since October last year ...

Well his application is only 8 months old and you should be expecting a decision from 10 months. Wait for 3 more months, ask INIS the status of his application and update me about it. His application will either be at an advanced stage or final stage in 3 months time presumably. It seems he is sinc...

The third letter came on the 25. October 2012 from the processing team. What was written on the third letter? The third letter only acknowledged the letter my partner has written to them, because he started a new job. I hope his case is not to complex. He doesnt have a criminal record and we have 2...

Hello all, my partner has applied for irish naturalisation 8 month ago (at the end of July 2012). He has also applied for an GNIB Stamp 4 EU Family Card last year which he had been approved in November 2012. The first letter he got on the 22. August 2012 The second letter, still from the initial pro...
