Hello all!
I'd dithered about applying for my FBR for over 3 years, and began compiling my documents.
My paternal grandparents were both born in Ireland but my grandfather was easier to get the docs for.
He was born in Belfast in 1900 and was able to get his birth certificate easily due to the info from the 1901 and 1911 Census. He came to NYC when he was 18.
My timeline is as follows:
21/08/2019 - FBR application online/paid fee
30/08/2019 - Mailed/registered all documents
05/09/2019 - E-mail from FBR office confirming receipt of my documents (saying it would take up to 6 months)
Now I wait... I'm hoping that it won't be too long before I hear back though I'm prepared for a 12 month wait.
I appreciate all the info on here as it has been so helpful to me.
