Re-post the link without your personal details and application number or type in the text from the letter.
The link was to a media article about the persons life story and plight. It will not be permitted on the forum.
Oh I see, I though she/he posted a copy of the rejection letter.
Yes, I sought advice and now am in a completely different situation and seeking further advice. Is there anything wrong with that?CR001 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 17, 2021 1:30 pmThe link was to a media article about the persons life story and plight. It will not be permitted on the forum.

I don't think 'ministerial discretion' is black and white, nor the wording around Irish associations, as we all know. If anything, this shows gaps in the current law. But there we have it.OneWorld2122 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 17, 2021 1:35 pmBy the law of land, you need to have one year 'continuos residency year prior to submitting the application', if applying by the route of naturalization of residency. Lot of applications gets rejected because of this rule, this rule is black and white. everyone has a story but law is law.
JR will not help. Honestly,may be, it's not something you wanted to hear.
As you can see from the decision, your life circumstances did not convince the Minister to warrant using her discretion on your application. But if you're confident that you have an exceptional case, then seek a review of the decision in court. On this forum you can certainly get an opinion, but not a legal advice. This can be costly and lengthy process.
No, unfortunately, due to the length the initial decision took (almost 3 years) and my work situation abroad, I would be back to square one.OneWorld2122 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 17, 2021 1:41 pmYou don't have to wait another 5 years as you already meet the requirements of total days in the country 365*5 + 1( if you were in country for atleast 4 years in last 8-9 years, I believe check exact years on website )
You only have to meet requirements of continuous residency in last year and not to be away for more than 6 week in last year , also minister suggested they are working to reduce application processing time to 6-9 months in coming years.
OK. Thank you.Vorona wrote: ↑Fri Dec 17, 2021 1:47 pmAs you can see from the decision, your life circumstances did not convince the Minister to warrant using her discretion on your application.

"Having considered the entirety of the case, including the Irish associations claimed, I do not consider such associations to the State sufficiently strong or the circumstances of the case display exceptional and compelling reasons which would warrant the Minister exercise her absolute discretion under Section 16 of the Irish Nationality and Citizenship Act 1956, as amended, to waive the statutory residency conditions in this case and other conditions under Section 15 of the Act or to grant the request for a certificate of naturalisation."
Then scribbled in pen, possibly by the Minister, is 'Applicant should reapply when he is resident in the state'.
Again, re: Borta, there seems to be a lack of reasoning around Irish associations.
My concern with reapplying is that, after 24 years spent in Ireland, which the state acknowledges, I would have to wait at least 5 more years to have the opportunity to reapply (and maybe another 2 year wait for a decision on top of that). These are crazy timescales, to me, given the circumstances of the case.
