Hi Guys,
Need some advise regarding wife's application,
based on 5 year residence
applied last week of September 2015,
9th October 1st stage letter,
29 October 2nd stage letter,
Awaiting for approval
Recently sent email and got very quick response stating Advanced Stage.
Her passport is going to expire on 01/08/2016
She renewed the GNIB on 05/05/2016 (expiry date is 07/05/2016) she got only until 01/07/2016 (one month before passport expiry). I sent the copies of these to INIS today.
Now the messy part is here:
Incase she got approval letter and sent the fee etc before 1st July but no ceremony until September, she is going to live without valid passport and GNIB until the ceremony. Is it ok ?
For applying Irish Passport does she need to send 'valid non Irish passport' along with passport application?
"The next day of Citizenship Ceremonies is scheduled for sometime in Autumn 2016. Details will be published here when confirmed" as posted in INIS website

I believe Autumn starts in September, means no ceremony until then?????
