It does seem that progress is being made on the August / September applications and that many people are hearing good news. It's about time really. A full year has passed for most of these applicants. However, I'm wary of proclaiming that things are speeding up or turning around on the basis of people being informed of their success at or beyond the one year mark. This is still well beyond posted guidance for non-complex cases.
We need to see more non-complex, direct to Dublin applications being processed in times well under a year before I will feel confident that the corner has been turned.
Jacqui - Hang in there. Your case is really unfortunate. I'm sure everyone here wishes that you will hear something good soon.
Hi Sulla, I have had email confirmation today 26/09/19 that my application has been approved and my certificate and original documents will be returned in the next two/three weeks. The embassy received my original application on 09/10/2018. I will update you again once I have the certificate in my hand.
Hope everyone else near me has some good news soon!
