Welcome back Niniola!!! I can definitely understand where you're coming from. Its kinda frustrating when u hear people getting approval but yours is still on pending. I was also thinking since they required some documentation from you last january it took them awhile to send it to the minister. Some people that ive seen who applied last sept or october 2015(from what ive read) werent ask anything so theres never a delay on their application process. Its just my wild thought okay. We really cant tell. Only the INIS knows how it works. And whats going on with each application.
I dunno also by being a non eu vs an eu national places us to a "different category" whether its spousal eu/5 year residency(spousal non eu, 5 year non eu)etc. Maybe for eu national its easier as most of them has already access to the eu countries. I dont know if it has a bearing also and it makes sense to be honest. Lets hope and pray that we get the approval soon and will be able to join the next ceremony. Keeping my fingers

My bro there is absolutely nothing u cld do at this point.U just have to keep praying and begging God to look upon u;there are loads of pple in ur shoes that does not know what to do or whr to face than to just face God.No one knows exactly what is going on in there all will do here is encourage one another and also share experiences .Do u have any strange immigration history or have any tangle with the law in the state or outside if none then just face God.

After several attempts by me to know from the INIS if I was going to be listed for the upcoming citizenship ceremony in April and then told it was not likely as there was a backlog of candidates and also as I was not emailed earlier like many others for the ceremony deferral, today and surprisingly, I have received my official invitation for the April 26 ceremony for 9.40AM. And just as I was about reading the details of my letter, I again got an email from INIS confirming my final listing for the ceremony:

Hi XXXXXXXXXXX,

Some good news!!

Please be advised that invitations are currently issuing for the
Citizenship Ceremony due to take place on 26/4/2016. You should be
receiving yours over the coming days. You are scheduled to attend at 9.40am
on 26/4/2016 in the Convention Centre in Dublin. Further details will be
contained on your invitation.

Regards

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Citizenship Division


I believe many more will be getting their official invitations for the ceremony today or latest tomorrow and good luck to all others still awaiting their approvals... Do not despair, It will come through for all soon :D

Yes, sometimes before but as it is now, most likely soon after this upcoming April 26 ceremony, massive approvals are expected to be released hopefully!

Hi I just asked again and same as two and four weeks ago I'm still in advance stage. I dnt think anything will happen before ceremony but since it has been quite lately I would expect a large batch of approval in May.

We should wait and try to forget this.
Also tge confirmed me there is no other scheduled ceremony for this year yet, but then again we should see that in their page after approvals

It's so sad that you didn't receive the letter. I suggest you better send the department an email as to what you should do in case you don't receive a letter due to postal lapse. Some members here might know the solution for your situation. But before you get a response in this forum, you better send an email to the department to be on safer side as the time is running short for the ceremony day.

Dear Members,

I applied for citizenship on 18 Feb 2016 on the basis of 5 year EU family stamp, received confirmation letter after one month, they requested new photos ( i guess my original photos were lost). I sent photos same day and received confirmation letter within 2 days. Today 20 March 2016 i got following letter...

Dear xxxxxx,

I am directed by the minister of justice to refer to your application for naturalization. I would be obliged if you could submit the following documents to this office within 28 days fromt he date of this letter.

1. For the years 2011 to 2015 please submit copies of your spouse P60
2. Please submit a letter from your spouses latest employer stating the following:
a) commencement date of employment
b) if your supouse is currently employed or date employment ceased.
c) your suppose's address
3) please submit a copy of your childrens birth certificates.

No further correspondence will issue from this office in relation to this matter. If further time required a request must be put in writing within the 28 days, and a letter will be issued to you with a decision on the granting of further time. If we dont recieve the requested documentation , your file will be deemed ineligible and put away. thereafter it will be open to you to lodge a new applicaiton.

Could any one help me to understand, is it 2nd stage letter or just random one. My application is not based on my marriage, so why do they ask for my wifes job letter and kids birth certificate, is it normal?
