does anyone know how long will it take the Minister's officer reply to applicant?ib_dublin wrote:I was in same situation but I have sent p21/p60/marriage/birth avidavit without asked from them.LuasPassenger wrote: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.
and now my application is with minister.
you can do similar like this
For me the garda check has already taken more than 5 weeks. It has taken 2.5 months so far and it's not complete yet.ib_dublin wrote: for me it took 5week for garda check
Same. Sent mine in on October 10th and it's still with the Garda according to the lady I spoke to last Thursday. She said it's kinda random with Garda and it can take up to 6 month and she said they don't really know how long gaurds take, but she said she also thinks it could be nationality dependent...LuasPassenger wrote:For me the garda check has already taken more than 5 weeks.

I actually think how long the garda check takes might depend on your original nationality... But that's just speculation on my part of course.
mendo: I would interpret that letter as your approval letter.
Mendo, you probably have been approved, but you didn't get the letter. If the register post was not pick up, it will be return to sender in 4 working days.mendo wrote:Hi LuasPassenger

I am not sure, it doesn't refer to any aproval but only appointments in court, 10th and 17th of December.
I'll ring them, once I am back to Ireland.
I was wondering if anyone else who hasn't received the "approval letter" has received the " court appointment information letter" ?

i applied in first week of may 2007. i spoke to them last week. they told me that they are waiting for Garda Clearance Report. they have not ask me for any additional information.irishwannabe wrote:Hi, I am new to this forum.
The INIS website used to display the application date of applicants being processed, now they simply have an update statement.
I was wondering about the following claim in that statement: "The Citizenship Division is currently commencing further processing of applications received in mid 2007"
Has anyone that applied in 2007 been asked to provide further information / documentation? Also when in 2007 did you apply, if you've been requested additional information / documentation.
Thanks

I have applied in May 2005. since multiple communication to DOJ. still waiting. Not sure it maybe depend on the original nationalty.
________There are currently 15,600 applications for naturalisation with the Citizenship Division of the Department that are still awaiting a decision. The number of applications which were made more than 18 months ago is 6,400 and of these 30% (1,900) are on hold awaiting a response from the applicant and 44% (2,800) are awaiting a response from other statutory bodies as part of the normal applications checking process.
The average time from application to decision is now at 23 months. The Citizenship Division is currently commencing further processing of applications received in mid 2007. A significant number of applications are initially found to be invalid for a variety of reasons and these are now being dealt with and returned to the applicant within a week. More complicated cases can at times take more than the current average while an element of straight forward cases are now being dealt with in less than that time scale.
There is a limit to the reduction in the processing time that can be achieved as applications for naturalisation must be processed in a way which preserves the necessary checks and balances to ensure that it is not undervalued and is only given to persons who genuinely satisfy the necessary qualifying criteria.
