I am an Irish Citizen married to a non EU spouse. We have 2 Irish children. My wife applied for the Irish citizenship in early Sep 15. Upon my wife's inquest to the exact status of her application in May 2016, she got the following answer:
"Your application is currently being processed with a view to establishing
whether it meets the statutory conditions for the granting of
naturalisation, such as good character and lawful residence, and will be
submitted to the Minister for decision as expeditiously as possible.
It is recognised that all applicants for citizenship would wish to have a
decision on their application without delay.
As well as being a significant event in the life of the recipient, the
granting of Irish citizenship through naturalisation as provided for in law
is also a major step for the State which confers certain rights and
entitlements not only within the State but also at European Union level and
it is important that appropriate procedures are in place to preserve the
integrity of the process."
My question is that is my wife's application at advance stage? Is it only a matter of few weeks or is it still a long way to go?
Regards
Faiq
Hello, it looks like she is still on the second stage of processing. Does she have any offences? Road offences or any minor/major convictions?
Did they also ask you for additional documents after u submitted your application which has caused the delay? Like
expired gnib card, passport etc?
But u still never know, she might get approval soon.
