I'm in the same boat as you, I have to go work abroad for 3 months starting June 30th with my visa expiring in early August.. I've been contacting people here and there, but so far no one has been able to give me concrete answersTazi wrote:I submitted my GNIB Card + Fee at the end of march. Didn't think the next ceremony would take more than 3 months and I need to be in the states July 15th. I don't have re-entry on my current passport so I'm pretty stuck right now not sure what to do.
I really hope there is a ceremony no later than June 30th.
I email to the department and they reply mechibihito wrote:I'm in the same boat as you, I have to go work abroad for 3 months starting June 30th with my visa expiring in early August..

That's not my issue, both my card and the visa are expiring while I'm away anyway, so I'm not sure as to how I'll be able to return home.wwattock80 wrote:I email to the department and they reply mechibihito wrote:I'm in the same boat as you, I have to go work abroad for 3 months starting June 30th with my visa expiring in early August..

Hi
if you need to travel we could return to you, your GNIB Card & you could
re-submit it to this Office on your return from your trip.
Please note
however, that only applicants who have submitted all the required documents are invited to a Citizenship Ceremony.
Hope this will help
Could you please let us know what happened then? did they let you in or deport you or what?adeel.azmat wrote:I would highly recommend you talk to the GNIB office before flying out.
When I flew back in (though I had a valid re-entry visa), they saw the Naturalizaiton letter and did not even stamp the passport and let me in.
Just do check with them.
cheers for your reply, thats a reliefadeel.azmat wrote:I 'had' a valid re-entry Visa and when they asked for GNIB card I showed them the Naturalization letter and they let me into the country as I had already asked the GNIB office of this situation. They did not even stamp my passport.
So if you do "not" have a valid re-entry visa, you should check with the GNIB office first.
In total it will take 1.5 hours max start to end (as told by a friend who attended the last one).ahm wrote:hi there,
does anyone know the schedule for the ceremony day? so my time is at 8:40am, but when will the ceremony for that start, and when does it end, just want to know the details, so that i can plan properly, as we don't live near Dublin, but we come from Galway (2.5 hrs drive), and i have my job that i need to get back to! I really wish they would give this information in the ceremony invitation letter so we can plan better.
