Send them landlord letter stating that you are living in current address and signed by him, if you can't get one of your housemate to write a letter stating that yiu are currently reside on said address plus signed, any utility bill under your names
That will do
All the best

Hello all,

Yes, I read at the INIS website this morning that the next Citizenship Ceremonies will be in the Convention Centre Dublin on Friday 15 April 2016. However it is also on the programme of the 1848 Tricolour Celebration Waterford that there will be a Citizenship Ceremony in City Hall with Minister of Justice on Friday March 4th, 11.30am.

Maybe there will be 2 ceremonies? A very small in March and a bigger in April?

I have paid the 950 euro and sent my GNIB card on 14th January. No invitation got so far. Has anyone got it already?

I would like to buy a ticket for dad to come from Brazil. They are very expensive and I wish I can buy in advance. Does anybody know the email to contact Citizenship Division. I read here that some people contacted them and got answers. I would like to ask them about the dates so that I can buy the tickets.

Thank you very much and best of luck for all!

Please share any update you might have with us, as that'd be very helpful.

Thanks!

Hello just a little clarification regarding my citizenship application.
I am working part time. And my spouse is studying and collecting back to education allowance. I am my spouse dependent and my salary has been means tested. However i didnt put on my application that i was on welfare for the past three years(which clearly not, coz I never had anything under my name) Or should i say i was but only as a dependent. I was
always my spouse's dependent on Dole. Will that be a problem? Thanks in advance!

That's not the INIS website. To get accurate information, always revert to the INIS website for naturalization and immigration matters. Thanks.

You should have wrote you were in receipt of social welfare as a spouse dependent and your salary has been means tested to save yourself of all these worries. However, if the department handling your file find it necessary, they will in due course write to you for more clarification so I don't think it will be a problem. Keep positive.
