Haha, cheers Oakers. My disclosure was viewed this morning and hope yours was too. Fingers crossed and hoping for some news in the next few weeks.
I feel you, yeh the order of processing applications are inconsistent and indeed bonkers.TropicalTornado wrote: ↑Fri Feb 11, 2022 2:05 pmI have been waiting since March 2020 and now I'm thinking to go for FOI. I didn't bother them in the last 2 years but now that I see people who have applied 6 months after me, are getting their approval, it seems unfair to me. The last update I got from them was my second letter in mid 2020 and the E-vetting that happened a few weeks ago.
I think applications between March and June or maybe July are treated the same in terms of application time, as the first lockdown started in March and the department was pretty much on idle for a few months trying to figure out how to continue working/processing applications while employees work from home.TropicalTornado wrote: ↑Fri Feb 11, 2022 2:05 pmI have been waiting since March 2020 and now I'm thinking to go for FOI.

Good news. Got the declaration of fidelity form this morning dates 14th Feb! Hopefully get the cert soon.coolgirl wrote: ↑Wed Jan 26, 2022 2:56 amI dont know if this is helpful. Applied citizenship in July 2020. Acknowledgement letter a month later with passport as well as reciept. Silence till now. Applied for FOI, November, was told id get it in December. I didnt. They give me a new deadline and on that exact day, I recieved the documents. Application as well as all the correspondence was not included in the FOI release because of Section 15. They said it would be expected that we already had a copy of this.However, It was noted in the email recieved with the FOI, the exact number of pages of the application as well as the time span. They just dont bother rereleasing the info to applicants because of the huge amt of work. So I could tell we had not missed any correspondence because time span was between July and August of 2020. Nothing since then. Garda Vetting had been completed since Feb 2021 but the last time it seemed anyone from their office looked at application was December 2020. At this time, the application was marked as awaiting processing in my INIS list of applications document. Thats all they had on file. Applying as a Stamp 3 NON EU.

Congrats!
I applied same time as you and still waiting. Did you do anything to push for a decision? Thanks.
Do you mean in terms of EU or Non-EU? There are around 10 people from my country here...if they deal with us seperately this entire process should be done in 2 weeks not 2 yearsZA2020 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 15, 2022 12:51 pmI am on the same boat,still waiting i think they deal with applicant on the basis of their country of origin.NF13 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 15, 2022 11:56 amcoolgirl wrote: ↑Tue Feb 15, 2022 9:19 amGood news.

I dd not say eu or non eu,minister says in some cases they have to get information from external and internal agencies thats why those cases take too long than others.chou2020 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 16, 2022 12:41 pmDo you mean in terms of EU or Non-EU?

Its worth reading the Citizenship 2020 application timeline thread and apparently people have just recently obtained approval without evetting.skumarireland wrote: ↑Sun Feb 20, 2022 1:30 pmHi All,
I've applied on 16/09/2020 & not received evetting request as-well, anyone on the same situation ?
regarding the e-vetting, what page(s) is that on (in the 2020 timeline)?raja.brit wrote: ↑Sun Feb 20, 2022 2:50 pmIts worth reading the Citizenship 2020 application timeline thread and apparently people have just recently obtained approval without evetting.skumarireland wrote: ↑Sun Feb 20, 2022 1:30 pmHi All,

So Citizenship team may or may not request evetting in your case. Its not a big deal if they do last minute as evetting process takes about 3 weeks max.
