^^^^

Just a quick question IrlNational2009, did you get a confirmation letter back from INIS stating that they had received your docs (signed oath form, fee etc..)? Was it the general letter that states: We have received your docs with regards to your naturalization application.......? thanks in adavnce

It was more like a general letter...stating..we refer to your letter with enclosing documents...but it was acknowledged in the next couple of days. Just got confirmation from my friend that he received his cert after 15 weeks. So slowly getting there..

Hi! 9gerian,

Heartiest Congratulations. Bravo! Well done. I am delighted to hear your good news. I hope your certificate follows in a Zap. Would you mind telling us how long did it take for your approval to come through after your file was sent to the minister. Kindly tell us in weeks. My application is with the minister for 3 weeks.

Do you guys feel that minister approves files every week or every month? If he approves files every month then I must expect my approval in April most probably.

Cheers

Mad

Cheers.

Congrats 9jeirean.

[9jeirean]

Thanks a million y'all.

@Mad: My application was sent to the minister first week of December. That brings it up to exactly 3 months (12 weeks). I don't know for sure how frequently the minister signs applications but not to worry buddy, you should be alright.

Additional Documents - September-2009
Sent to Minister - Feb last week, 2010

I was through to the citizenship call and she told me that my application was sent in the 3rd week of Feb and asked me not to ring AGAIN and they would respond once they hear something from Minister. She told me that it would take upto 6 to 8 weeks time

Thanks for sharing that Deception-Shy. I guess our files were sent one after the other. I was told that my file was sent to the minister on the 11th of February. So I guess we shall be hearing around the same time. Kindly let me know once you receive your approval. I am very paranoid about INIS.

Cheers yet again.

@nicepecsigot: Congratulations to your flatmate, I am just wondering her nationality and the sector she was working in?

I am thinking that certain nationals and certain sector workers - probably with high income - get their approval faster than the others?

[nicepecsigot]

well shes from philippines and shes working as nurse,lots of them in tallaght hospital seemed to already got their naturalization(mostly filipino nurses) who applied 2007 after coming to ireland 2001.saying that i think they all give citizenship to everyone but whos handling your application is what matters.some are just slow and some are great in processing them .........i think!!!

Sure Deception-Shy. My timelines are as follows:

Applied: Sept. 06.
Acknowledged: October 2006.
More info: November 2008.
Sent: Dec 2008.
File sent to minister: February 2010. Not sure of exact date. Most probably my file was sent on 15th of Feb.

I am paranoid about INIS because they change their statements all the time. I hope that they have said the right thing this time around.

Hi MAD


Yeah....INIS is not a functionally organized office and they dont follow any chronological order for application processing and its highly difficult to believe them. But I dont think anything would be wrong in your case as you have applied in 2006 and i heard in many forums that they are trying to clear all the backlogs asap. Hopefully in few weeks time we'll have that letter. You are up there man, dont get paranoid.

(Too Cloooose yet Tooooo Far)

[Monifé]

Hi guys, good luck to all applying for naturalisation

and fair play to u all for being so patient, i think it is just CRAZY that people have to wait nearly 4 years to get it!!!!
