Do you remember which week in May 06 you actually applied? If you applied in end of May06 - that would mean that we should see June 06 processing next week at INIS website.ashimashi wrote:update: got a letter asking for P21, birth affidavit, payslips and bank statements (applied in may 06).
Funny enough I've already sent them a birth affidavit but it seem to have made no difference!

So, don't believe what INIS post on the website or whatever they tell us on the phone. Another friend of mine was granted citizenship even if he doesn't fulfill the 60 months condition as he was here 1.5 years without a job or permit.
The citizenship process in Ireland is just like a lottery now!
That's a pre-printed letter they send to everyone that inquires, they don't seem to even read the letters you send them. The only way to get a proper estimate seems to be parliamentary questions! So get on to your TD. That way they will have to tell you what stage your application is at.strongbow wrote:I had applied in Nov 2005 and I sent them a letter last week. I got the reply from them yesterday
"No decision has been made on your application yet. We will be in touch with you in due course of time regarding your application."
I had asked for a rough estimate on when the decision would be made but this is what I got.

1. Is it okay to ask TDs to raise questions on our behalf--I mean specifically dealing with my application as opposed to a general status on citizenship processing. I wasn't aware of this.
2. Additional documents asked were birth and marriage cert affidavits. This was asked in May 2008.
3. nationality is Indian. I don't think it is such a big issue but I could be wrong!
There is another post afters yours in this thread where a person who applied in Dec 2005 seems to have got his approval, there have also been information given that people how applied in May 2005 have not yet got their decision, so it seems like a lottery system now!!
I agree, it certainly looks like that is the case.strongbow wrote:I think all the date refers to on the INIS website is merely "start" of the processing of citizenship applications. The total length of "processing period" is not clear at all!

That was quite a quick time from asking for documents to approval!
(Still took far too long in total, though)
