I didnt get the formal letter yet in the post but ive been told it will come in the next few days. But I am worried that it will get postponed again as we dont have a government at the moment. There is no Taoiseach elected! Ive been told at work that citizenship ceremony might get postponed because of the recent situation.
Thats good to know. I applied 2nd week of january. Havent heard from them eversince, besides the first and second letter combine. Ive emailed them last feb or march i think but they said its still processing. Havent emailed them eversince as i am not expecting anything because of this coming ceremony. Best of luck with us waiting for approval. I applied based on being married to irish national(3yrs in the state). Whats the basis of your application BilBil?Bilbil wrote:Hi All.

In my opinion u need to sort it out if u havent got any approval yet. Eventually they will ask you for a renewed visa. Better do it before they ask you to avoid delay on your application.llvlludi wrote:Hi Everyone,
I applied for citizenship on 18th of Feb 2016 on the basis of 5 year EU Family Stamp, got my first letter after one month, they asked me for new photos, i guess photos sent with application were lost. I sent photos next day and got confirmation letter after 2 days.
I know, i have to wait few more months as my application is on early stage. My question is bit different, I have applied for indefinite stamp last year September, they sent me temporary stamp until 22 April, I have not heard from department anything since . As my stamp will be finished on 22 April, i just sent them an email and got this response.
Dear xxxxx,
Applications are processed in chronological order.
A decision will issue in due course.
It is not possible to give a definite date.
is anybody on similar situation here, what if my visa expires will it effect on my citizenship application.
Lets keep our fingers and toes crossed hahah! Hopefully we get sorted soon. Its been three months now on my part. And i havent heard anything from them. I think thats a good sign(well i hope, not sure with the inis tbh)Bilbil wrote:Mine is based on 5 years EUFAM STAMP 4.

KingdomMan wrote:Again, thanks for your kind words. The LSR team naturally prepares a submission on a file and then passes it on to the minister recommending for an approval. However in some cases, especially where there are adverse issues, they hold on to a file for as long as they deem it necessary I think (usually 6 - 12 months). A file with a straight forward case doesn't take more than a month or 2 with the LSR team before they finally foward to the minister for her approval.dublin777 wrote:Welcome back kingdoman . Good to see yr comments here it gives me joybicos they are always genuine and accurate . I almost thought u were one of the authority in the Department
Kingdoman can u pls advised people like me. How long couldt the LSR team hold yr file for before submitting it to the Minister? And how long can an application last for at most . Pls advise. Thank u.

I am pretty confident that they will be signing new approvals soon after the ceremony, so early May we should have the resolution
Thanks! No need for your anxiety as you'd def get the official invitation for the ceremony in the post in time (in the coming week). All the best!Flakie wrote:Hello, further to my earlier enquiry, my husband who is awaiting an invitation to the April 26 ceremony has not received the invite. We however got a response to our email enquiry to INIS confirming that he is scheduled to attend the after 1pm ceremony on that day and that a formal invitation will issue to him shortly. Today is Friday and we have not received anything. Can we just show up on that day with that email response should we not get an invite before that day? Also can someone who has received an invitation for that day please advise the content especially the list of documents to take along to the ceremony. Thanks in advance.
Welcome back Kingdomman!!!
Advance stage is when a submission is about or already made to the minister for a decision on an application while final stage is when a decision is already made by the minister and application file is back to the INIS and a (approval/refusal)letter is being prepared to be sent to an applicant.Bilbil wrote:jumanufer wrote:pixie12 wrote:I emailed today and ask about the status of my application.

@KingdomMan. Can you please explain to us the difference between "advance stage" and "final stage" in INIS stages of citizenship. Thanks
Only the minister has the discretion for approval or refusal so it's possible a file gets to the advance stage and it's still refused. It happened to me. My initial application went through the whole stages from initial processing through to the final stage but only to be sent a refusal letter.pixie12 wrote:Kingdom regarding the "advanced stage"
Is there still be possible that ones application can still be refused, even if they said its on the advance stage? As to my understanding, it wouldnt go that far, if theres a problem with the application? They might just say "processing" still. Can you clarify that to your understanding, as being the most knowledgable person here on boards. Thanks in advance!!!
I don't know if there is any way to sort it out, department don't want to get exact time frame for the decision. I heard from few people they are purposely delaying decisions as they have floods of new application from people recently entered through UK.llvlludi wrote:
