I sent all docs on 31st Octsashasolar wrote:Hi! I think it is a very good news for you!ib_dublin wrote: Forgot to add that they told me, any decision will be on jan-09 most probably
I know for sure that what they send to the minister are "Recommendations" with list of people below and a field for the Minister to sign.
For example "Assistant Secretary General recommends the following applicants for approval... Bla-bla-bla... Checks have been performed, etc, etc." Or "Assistant Secretary General recommends the following applicants for refusal. These people: accessed public funds (had criminal convictions), etc, etc, etc" The Minister just signs the whole thing.
It is possible (I'm not so sure here) that as the Department receives responses for external checks and other docs, they just tick all the necessary boxes and change file status to something like "Submitted to the Minister for decision". Once in a while a report is pulled from these files, sorted as "approve"/"reject" with reasons and submitted to the Minister. Could be once a month or twice or whatever:-)
I too was asked for same docs in October (20th). When in October did they ask you for docs?
I have been told the same thing just like Maria. The lady in INIS told me that Garda Clearnace Check takes around 3 to 6 months.ib_dublin wrote:I'll say garda check will take 4-6week (in my case it took 5weeks for garda check) and in total 3-6months including ministers approval... thats the trend I have seen so far.

My update:
Aug 2006 - applied for naturalization on basis of 5 year residence/working/living
Nov 2008 - Asked for P21, bank statements/wage slips. Sent them in.
Dec 11/08 - phoned INIS to see what next. Was told that the Garda have been asked for background check on me & might take 3-6 months for this! Once Garda ok rec'd by INIS, my app will be sent to Minister for approval........
Yes it is internal process between Garda and INIS, No more docs should be needed from the applicant.mktsoi wrote:Mariamarialear wrote:Yes, congrats for sure Alicia!

Did the INIS tell you Garda Check is the final thing they need for your application? They never asked me for anything other than they waiting for Garda Check, so I was wondering if thats them to finalizing my application.
thx

alica: when you got your approval letter, did you get information about the courts? Did they give you an appointment already in December or in January?
Yes, I'm also in this exact situation.Heybabyy wrote:Thanks for the details.
It is really confusing as I know some people who have applied in 2006 with similar criteria and they haven't heard back after sending additional docs in Sept/Oct 08.
It would be interesting in Jan 09 to see who all gets an approval.
