IrishTom, what's with the laughter at that?
Look, a solicitor is there to tell you what you need to know and not what you would like to hear. He / she would have formed that view after seeing other cases like yours go south. they are nnot there to make you feel comforable and tuck you into a false sense of security. fortunately for you they were wrong and you had a very good recordcell36 wrote:For Anyone Who Might be In The Same Situation as I was:
=====================================
Applied March 2006. Got my Approval letter in Feb 2010.
Claimed Unemloyment Benefit for 3 months in Jan 2008.
Had 2 penalty points for speeding and one fixed charge for handling mobile while driving.
Had been working full time since Jan 2001 till now (except 3 months in 2008 when I lost my job) I was told by Social & welfare officer that applying for unemployment benefit would have no impact on my citizenship application, which turned out to be absolutely true.. Thankgod.
Some solicitors really scared me by telling me that the application would be REFUSED because of the benefit I claimed and this caused an immense Stress and Depression to me for 3 to 4 months before I got the approval letter. SO THE POINT IS that as long as you have a GOOD contribution in the country and have only availed of PRSI based unemployment benefit or other PRSI based beenfits for a short time and have NO court convictions etc, then 99.999999% you should have NO PROBLEM getting the approval. BUT best to avoid if possible ONLY because mentally you can go mad if a CRUEL SOLICITOR (who only wants your money) scares you while even the REVENUE department says that PRSI benefits will not impact your application.
Also, Minister specifies that he is generally satisfied if NO STATE SUPPORT has been availed of during the 3 year period prior to the date of application. try to keep at-least the 3 year period clean.
Also please keep your eyes on statements released from the Minister on questions asked by local TDs on this site. Below is a link where the "3 year period " statement is mentioned... FYI only.

Hope this helps. Best of luck to all who are waiting and that they inshaAllah get it soon . [/b]
