You should have completed 5 years of reckonable residence, else your application will be rejected.deadbeef wrote:i just sent in my application form for naturalisation today (2009-04-29) based on ~4.5yrs of reckonable working residency (i think thats the term).
i had only just started looking at this recently and came across this board from boards.ie. I'm kinda shocked at the average time published on the inis site to be 23months, are there more statistics available for the turn around times apart from the spreadsheet?
I was told to apply ~1yr in advance 2-3yrs ago by various people, and as far as I recalled it was even recommended by the authorities to apply after the 4th year.Aceform wrote:You should have completed 5 years of reckonable residence, else your application will be rejected.deadbeef wrote:i just sent in my application form for naturalisation today (2009-04-29) based on ~4.5yrs of reckonable working residency (i think thats the term).

Not only the residency Stamps worth 60 months, but also 60 months since the date of arrival in Ireland. Mine was refused as well first time around. Had to reapply once i completed 5 yrs since date of Arrival. Good luck anyway, I know of a few that got away too!!deadbeef wrote:I was told to apply ~1yr in advance 2-3yrs ago by various people, and as far as I recalled it was even recommended by the authorities to apply after the 4th year.Aceform wrote:You should have completed 5 years of reckonable residence, else your application will be rejected.deadbeef wrote:i just sent in my application form for naturalisation today (2009-04-29) based on ~4.5yrs of reckonable working residency (i think thats the term).

Congratulations, robin_hood and other recent aprovals... I knew you would hear this week. It looks like the average time between getting your documents to sent to theminister and the decision is about 6 weeks max. There are some cases as posted here about 2 to 4 weeks as well.
regards, A_I

It doesn't count as far I know TRV.TRV wrote:i was on intracompany transfer visa during the first year and the rest of four years on workpermit. does the intracompany stamp count towards reckonable residence for naturalisation? does anybody here got approval of naturalisation based on intracompany visa+workpermit combinations?
applied in jan 2006, acknowledged in march 2006, updated documents in sept/oct 2008 and again in april 2009(with my parents full name), still waiting to hear back.
Thanks
Has your application been submitted to Minister ? Or is it in Garda / Social Welfare Checks still? The ministery approval seems to be 4 to 6 weeks after the submission...u0543 wrote:another_immigrant wrote:robin_hood wrote:Looks like my turn has come as well - FINALLY!

A_I, if you came back 3 pages, you would see the above.u0543 wrote:another_immigrant wrote:u0543 wrote:Hi A_I,another_immigrant wrote:
The reason why I'm asking is that I've checked the postings here and as far as I can see the decision time is between 4 to 5 weeks max since the application is fully submitted to the minister. So I'm guessing if it's posted for approval at the end of march or early april, it's more than likely to hear news either this week or next week at the latest. It might be wise to ring and ask for an update. I'll do so. keep in touch.

1. I was told it would take 6 to 8 weeks for the decision.
2. A friend of mine (applied Oct 2006, approval early March), was "with minister" for 2 months - January - March.
So your estimations are a bit too optimistic
Not quite true, it does not count towards LTR, but it counts for naturalisation allright, only time spent as a student, or spent illegally (obviously), is excluded for citizenship according to the Act.Aceform wrote:It doesn't count as far I know TRV.TRV wrote:i was on intracompany transfer visa during the first year and the rest of four years on workpermit. does the intracompany stamp count towards reckonable residence for naturalisation? does anybody here got approval of naturalisation based on intracompany visa+workpermit combinations?

well... this is now your 4th week... so fingers crossed. You should hear from them this week or next latest. Did you try to ring them ? Because they might have already got the response but not posted to you yet...u0543 wrote:u0543 wrote:another_immigrant wrote:A_I, if you came back 3 pages, you would see the above.u0543 wrote:
