I also have booked the hotel in Killarney last week.botabo wrote: ↑Tue Sep 03, 2019 3:21 pmIn the meantime, I decided to book accommodation in Killarney anyway. There is the possibility to cancel with no charge up to one week before date of staying. Accommodation prices are normal on the week before and the week later, while they are dearer around those days.
Agreed - The whole INIS system is a disaster. They have lost all of their credibility and they have started to keep the applicants in the dark and deceive and dodge them. Copying/Pasting and lying is no longer a big problem for them. I feel sorry for the applicants who pay them nearly a thousand euro plus and keep their business running.RajSingh1 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 02, 2019 5:25 pmThis entire system is a bloody joke. In every other EU country if you apply for citizenship it takes maximum 6 months to make a decision. But here in Ireland we have been waiting to get a decision for more than 3 years. The contact number for citizenship department is just waste of time they don't have a single clue about our file or the email they say the same copy paste reply to everyone as if you are talking to a robot.
Only few thousand people apply for Irish citizenship but still the process is too slow while in other EU countries half a million people apply and get it sorted within a year. Most likely they will cancel the September ceremony.
Hi Phaedra, just to let you know I am in exactly the same place -- got letter in May, sent fee and photos registered post. Just got an email confirming they received the fee and documents after nearly 4 months of enquiring. No news on a ceremony yet.Phaedra wrote: ↑Mon Sep 02, 2019 10:58 amHi guys,
So I received my letter to say the "minister intends to grant your" to which of course I promptly responded with everything they needed and paid (within 2 days). I also had this sent via registered post and have several emails confirming the photos and payment was received.
However since then, I have received nothing and I am sure like the rest of you - am anxiously awaiting my invitation to the ceremonies. I applied last year August and honestly, this entire process has taken a lot longer than it did for several of my friends who applied (Zimbabwean/US/UK citizen) - I realise each application is unique (and Brexit & the cour ruling has probably delayed everything further) but this limbo has been pretty tough.
Just to confirm, no one has received an invitation yet? I have anxiously been checking the post everyday.
Just gotta stay positive I guess.
I also agree that this is one of the most badly managed government processes I have ever encountered. The lack of transparency around the whole process along with the constant change in position on the status of applications is very frustrating and gives the impression that these people don't know what they are doing. We can only hope and pray that this ordeal ends soon for us all!Alixlboy wrote: ↑Wed Sep 04, 2019 9:02 amAgreed - The whole INIS system is a disaster.

thanks. But one thing i am interested in is , when my case went to second stage, i got the letter for that. does any other letter exist when the case goes to the next stage? Like, letter for approval, or letter for advances investigation?nojoyfrominis wrote: ↑Wed Sep 04, 2019 5:46 pmThe stages are not set in stone. The stage after second stage is advanced stage where the processing is finished and the file is waiting to be approved by supervisor and then passed to minister for signing.
One think that surely will happen after second stage is wait. Be patient

Thank you for sharing.aneelrahim wrote: ↑Thu Sep 05, 2019 11:33 amI call today and still they don't know about the Sept ceremony.

Guys, just because you keep calling does not mean that they will have an answer for you. The people at the end of the phone probably have about as much information as any of us. All you are doing is delaying people getting through to INIS that are looking for a genuine update on their application.botabo wrote: ↑Thu Sep 05, 2019 12:38 pmThank you for sharing.aneelrahim wrote: ↑Thu Sep 05, 2019 11:33 amI call today and still they don't know about the Sept ceremony.

It's good that I've found this page, that saves me from keeping calling the office twice a week every week.
You will not get genuine update by phone. I am calling from last 1 year. Every week I get different story.
You just said it yourself they have no real information. Sometimes you get lucky and they tell you something they shouldn’t but generally it the same thing every time you call.dianajak wrote: ↑Thu Sep 05, 2019 2:44 pmGuys, just because you keep calling does not mean that they will have an answer for you.

Given the current situation, it is common sense that the September ceremony is unlikely to go ahead as they simply won't have enough time to issue approvals and invites in time for end of September as the issue that has caused this delay still has to be dealt with first and foremost.
As lax as their responses maybe, I very much doubt they are not working.aneelrahim wrote: ↑Thu Sep 05, 2019 3:07 pmYou will not get genuine update by phone. I am calling from last 1 year. Every week I get different story.
I think currently they are not doing any work and just waiting for the update on Court decision

May be the people who get approval before court rulling get invitation for
Small ceremony like waterford ceremony.
There is no harm to see dreams.
