It is true that a lot of approval letters are sent in the month immediately before a ceremony. But, if you look at the people who attended the 29 April ceremony just gone, 40% received their approval more than 10 weeks before the ceremony. Based on 35% people who posted here that they attended the ceremony.
If it's a very small ceremony, we might only see one or two posts about approvals here. Chart below based on 119 approvals at time of posting. It will update as data is added.
I was offered to choose between 29 April and 28 June by a senior event coordinator staff in the Department of Justice - I chose 29 April eventually.

The main purpose of this ceremony is to complete some of the oldest applications (2016-2017) while also catering for people who couldn’t make it to the April ceremony. If your application was submitted in 2018-2019 it is unlikely that you will be included in this one.

I applied in April 2017 and still waiting. I was only asking for your guess of course I know you don’t work in INIS just you are an active member so wanted to have an opinion from you. Thanks for your reply though.
Second stage letters are for naturalisation applications. You need to ask the question in the FBR thread.usczkat wrote: ↑Wed May 22, 2019 5:04 pmCan anyone tell me if all applicants would receive a second stage letter? I am in the US, sent application with fees to FBR in Dublin on Aug 10, 2018, got confirmation via email on Aug 23, 2018 that application was received. Nothing since. Just wondering if some do not ever receive a second letter or if all do if anyone knows. Thanks
This post has a good explanation of the checks conducted at each stage.
You're welcome. If you're interested there's some more in this thread. All charts are kept up-to-date automatically.
It's impossible to say with any certainty. The longest time between 2nd stage letter and approval I've seen is 1040 days, and the shortest is 1 day.
I'm currently waiting 240 days and counting since notice of second stage.
In straightforward cases, yes, the next letter after second stage is approval. The approval letter asks for payment, usually within a short period of time (e.g. 10 days).
