Just an update, I’ve received new mail that states “Citizenship Division has reviewed your submission and has forwarded your details to An Garda Siochana National Vetting Bureau (NVB), to start the E-Vetting process”
So it’s been exactly 3 months for the next email.

Anyone from the May 23rd group that got the "forwarded to NVB" email willing to share the EVET reference's last 4 numbers and the original date they applied? That might give us some insight into how far are they in processing the applications from May.. (only if ISD is actually processing them sequentially? ) Otherwise I am not sure where exactly are we in this.. And if they are doing it by Surname > alphabetically then I am screwed

I doubt anyone would be willing to share such sensitive information; however, I can assist you with something that may ease your mind. So i received my NVB invitation the day after the citizenship department moved my evetting consent to completed on the INIS site. The following day, when I received the NVB link, i completed it, and within four working days, the process was complete. However, it took over ten days for me to receive an email from NVB stating that disclosure was made to the citizenship department, and the tracker indicates that disclosure was viewed. It was completed in 2.5 weeks, and I am now awaiting an update. I believe the next step would be to receive a letter requesting 950 EUR by mail, followed by an invitation to the ceremony.

It appears that they have halted work on 2023 applicants and are prioritising 2021/ 2022 applicants, as I've heard from multiple friends and have been checking timelines frequently in recent weeks. I hope this is still the case, that the backlog is cleared by the end of this year, and that the 21/22 lot is given priority to attend the ceremony rather than 23 lot.

When the June ceremony took place, the citizenship department posted a notice on the irishimmigration site informing people of the 19/ 20th June ceremony. According to their most recent email, they intend to host one in the autumn, which should be October, so they should have posted a notice on the website informing this by now. I believe there is a good chance that we will make it to the upcoming ceremony. Hoping for the best!!!!

I believe they are handling cases by date rather than by first/last name. It will have been 18 months for me, and it is evident that progress is being made on applications that date back in time. Not sure when you submitted your application, but how far along are you?

Here is a concrete number.
Two applicants.
First was with the May batch of invites.
Second with with an invite in August.
Difference between the two on the EVET202XDDYY##### is 9000 (i.e., Aug. minus May).
If this decodes the assigned identifiers, the interpretation is that there have been 9000 more invites between applicant 1 and applicant 2. Applicant 1 has progressed to disclosure.

Hi,

I got my invite May 22nd, replied on the 23rd May, and received a reply a few hours later that my details were forwarded to the NVB and would hear from them within in a week or two.

Still waiting for NVB.

thanks, pal sure look all we can do is wait and see I am from the infamous may 23rd batch and my last 4 digits are in high 4000's so if someone who has gotten through is in mid 2000's then I am around 1500 away (give or take a few)
Or this is exactly wrong but at least its keeping me busy

How long is the wait for NVB email to come after this email?

I can read it clear and match with mine - it's backwards for 23/05/2023 and after that it's your number I think

[User20123]

I am sorry, but I cannot understand the last four digits discussion here. I was in the 22nd May batch, and my last 4 digits were 3576. What does it really mean? Does this mean that I was applicant 3576 that was processed, but when I completed evetting, my final five digits were 00054? Not sure what connection can be made to this statement.

Once again, EVET and Garda numbers are completely different.
Garda number (starts with INI001) is plain and simple: organization-date-number, but that number is when ISD has first passed your application to Garda, no correlation with your EVET number.

What digits in EVET number mean, I do not know. Maybe you're right, maybe not (eg they do the same sequence for a week or randomize them).

Thanks. This is what I was trying to understand, that there is no correlation between the two and that we cannot base our discussion on the 4 digits in order to comprehend the significance of sequence.

When we submit evetting I understand its only 7-10 days until this is done. We will see this on the tracker?
And then we wait for 950 euro payment and invite to ceremony?
Just checking stages.
Thank you.

Tracker doesn't usually update for a while after submission - takes circa 2 weeks, could be more. My tracker only updated on the 13th day.
After that, yes, next step is intended to be approval, but there are cases reported on forums where they asked for additional documents/change on the form.

Yes, many of us 22 May folks are still waiting. It will likely be several more months (maybe by end of year) to clear all of us based on the stats they provided a month or so ago.

[Annanz]

After we complete evetting (giving various adress during lifetime etc), is there a long many month wait again for the next email/communication? Or do things start to speed up from that moment?

There's no defined answer.
Some people wait for years. Some people get approval in the next month or two.
Most are in between.
