EU citizen , 5yrs residency
well as i heard for EU it is straight forward and that is the reason it took just few weeks , we were asked for some additional document in mid feb which was submitted straight away.
Not sure when we get approval ? i wish and hope she could be in this ceremony so i can apply on based of Irish spouse straight away if not i will be eligible based on my 5 yrs residency in July.
but my concern is the minor traffic offence (not convicted) but fined 60 euro for no tax on my car , it was just because the garda was just dearly beloved , its a long story and i am concern as it may delay my case even though i am also accepted by Garda Reserve force just waiting for my Training ? and have over 50 Certificates for working with numerous charity organisation as a volunteer and currently working as Technologist in one of the biggest IT company in this country and honestly speaking working 14 hour (extra 4 to 5 hours daily) to bring new technology in Ireland which will bring few hundred Jobs and i will be representing Ireland in many forums and i desperately need to be citizen by the end of this year !! really i am just sick of some Gards because of their dearly beloved act i am in bad books despite of living here for over 12 years
I am almost same as yur wife. EU citizen I applied on Jan 27 and they got it following day. First and second letter I got it on February 11th. They have not requested anything else, I have not heard from them. I do not think we will be in the April ceremony, my wife will since she was approved middle Janaury. For EU citizen I understand is straight forward, but you never know.
In relation with your application, I do not think you should worry at all about the parking fine and penalty, etc. I had twice for speeding, once was to get to hospital when my child was born. I included that in the application. Other than that I am totally clean. They did not say anything.
If I face any issue I will let you know, but then again refusing a citizenship based on a driving penalty (other than drink + drive) would be very unfair.
May I ask you, where are you originally from?
