Hi just spoke to a girl in the immigration help centre and she said no specific date yet but looks like June! Got my letter 24th April of approval ! Really hope it's soon! If any

[Yana31]

I'd say they are waiting on people to send their postal orders/bank drafts and as soon as they reach the capacity 3000 or 4000 people whatever it is, then they will get the letters out, by the look of things I would say it will be in June, as long as its before the 28th of June...otherwise I will have to wait until the next ceremony.

Good luck to everyone!

Does anyone know how many people are allowed to bring to a ceremony???

I was in contact with a lady from the INIS Office in Tipperary 2 weeks ago, and I was told that the next ceremony will take place at the beginning of July, on a Friday. But since then I have heard contradicting information. Did anyone else hear anything?

It seems they don't want to say too much. I sent email to ask about next ceremony date and how many people can you invite to a ceremony, got reply few hours later - today.

Hi

The dates are not yet finalised for the next Ceremony. One guest per applicant is recommended.

Kind regards

Goodness, I was hoping for end on may...But i guess i should be happy if we get June ending. Goodness, regretting i missed my march ceremony.
I hope they are considerate with the ceremony dates, alot of people need to travel for the summer holidays!...

[Anoushka80]

I guess with the resignation of a former Minister Mr. Alan Shatter etc., the new Minister Mrs. Frances Fitzgerald will have much more important things to deal firstly with that a citizen ceremony. For me personally first week in July would be great.
