It's different for everyone mate, some people get approval within 6 months of application and some don't. One of my friend applied in September 2012 and he's still waiting for approval. His application was based on marriage to an Irish citizen, ironically his older brother applied in late 2014 on five years residency basis and he got approval letter after six months of application, I think his ceremony was in July this year. So I say it's just a game of wait-and-see. You'll have approval letter soon

Guys I have a question to all of you if possible- Can the advanced stage last over 2 months ? is possible or it is only one month.


This is something really long , some 6 months and others 3 to 4 times longer and no answer

"Each application is assessed on an individual basis and the amount of time required to gather all of the necessary information varies from application to application. As soon as all of the required information is available, a submission is prepared and the case is forwarded to the Minister for Justice and Equality. The Minister then makes a decision on the application in his or her absolute discretion." Some applications take about 2 moths to get approval while others take about 4 - 6 months on the average to get an approval, all depending on the basis of your application (based on 5 years residency or Marriage or Association). In your own case, waiting for 15 months goes to show there's complexity in your application, meaning, you could have come to the adverse attention of the Garda at some point in your residency or could be you have not met all the residency conditions to get express approval and therefore must wait on the absolute discretion of the Minister to get an approval. I wish you good luck in your long wait!

Would it be possible to give a summary of the content of you correspondence with the LSR Team further processing? For your information, this team prepares a submission on your application to the Minister and depending on the peculiarity of each application, it takes an average of 1 - 3 months to get an approval/refusal from the Minister once a submission is made in your application.

Hi KIngdomMan,

Thanks for your quick reply!

I have applied based on the Green card followed by stamp 4 for 4 continuous years. Also, there is no know fines or convictions. Is there a way to check if there is anything outstanding as I have frequently changed my residence and haven't really updated my license that often.

Which email address I should send the application status update request.

Thanks & Regards
DTD

Hi I am posting here because I really don't understand why my application is being delayed for so long.

APPLICATION TYPE:5 yrs residence, Stamp 4
APPLICATION SENT:10th of March
ACKNOWLEDGMENT: 26th of March
SECOND STAGE LETTER: pending
APPROVAL: pending

I have
- continuous full time employment with the same multinational company
- no breaks in my residency in Ireland. (No breaks in GNIB, or Irish Visa)
- no crimes/convictions, no traffic fines etc (I don't even have a driving license),no fines for TV license or any thing I can think of

I haven't yet received an email asking for a proof of my residency as most others here did, and I emailed them and received their template message that my application is still in progress and they are not expecting anything from me.

Do you have any ideas on why my application might be pending for so long? Am I the only one?

@KingdomMan,

I have just got a reply from the department with the following text.

"Your application is being prepared for submission to the Minister, it has
not yet been submitted. You will be informed of the Ministers decision as
expeditiously as possible"

I am very unhappy with their response as they haven't even submitted to the Minister. How long will it take you recon.

Please reply ASAP and suggest what I should do as it's more than 6 months already.

Thanks in advance!

Does the message above means that you are at the 2nd stage?

Than I didn't receive my 2nd stage letter but moved into it. How come? I am checking my inbox everyday twice!
