Applications made in 2005/2006 are processed in Dublin & take the longest to process & anything made after Jan 2007 are processed in Tipperary & take a mere 2.5 yrs to 3 yrs on an 'Average'

A friend of mine who is married to a Guard told me that DOJ treats applications based on Nationalities. Some are considered high risk than others. Don't know how much of this is true though

[bugu07]

I am not sure about it. I have seen people who applied in 2006 and got it in time. similarly people with same nationalities are getting responces with different times. i think all these things are myths. anybody who wants to comment

[mad]

The manner in which DOJ and INIS conduct their affairs has nothing to do with reason, logic and intelligence. Their lethargy and indolence knows no bounds and is only matched by their lack of intelligence. I feel very strongly that getting approval is like hitting pot luck and can be compared with winning the Lotto. SO asking why some people are granted approval in less than two years whilst other wait for close to 5 years is like asking why do some people win the Lotto the first time they buy a ticket whilst others keep on buying tickets all their lives to no avail.

I hope this answers your question.

I cant agree less with you
The whole process is a sham and unfortunately we all have to go through it. Thank God it would soon be over. I know someone who left Ireland 18 months ago and it was sent to his address - though he applied 2006 But there are people who have applied in 2005 and still living and paying taxes in Ireland who were never given
Another fellow who applied 2008 has been given while some others who applied earlier are still waiting
It is a quite inconsistent process

My friends grannies mates goldfish says...

Unlike the asylum seekers get free cars and gaffs myth, this one, I hope, has an element of truth to it. For example, your average American has no real benefit in obtaining Irish citizenship. Unless he wants to work in an EU member state. Remember, Americans can visit all EU 27 member states for 90 days without a visa.

Now compare that your average middle class Nigerian(who are here for the welfare, 62% of Nigerian adults in the Irish state are on the social). Of course the Irish government should scrutinise certain nationalities applications more so than others.

Its simple cop on.

First off, I would rather have this discussion on a separate thread as it could potentially derail the focus of this great thread.

That said, the problem with such monochromatic, jaundiced view as yours is that it will always be difficult to make you see the bigger picture. What you still haven't got and I doubt if you are ever interested in getting anything, is that facial profiling and penalizing everyone, most of whom are hard working tax paying members of the Irish society is a stone age mentality to solving problem.

I would gladly volunteer more tax to overhaul the social welfare system, up-skill the semi illiterate civil servants that run our government departments, put in place a system that is efficient and customer focused, rather than targeting a group of people and festering stereotypes. It is an easy strategy that has been proven many times to solve no problem other than to appease to the deep seated insecurity and bigoted perspective of some people on people mobility.

The Irish government had every opportunity and wherewithal to make social welfare less attractive viz-a-viz a complete overhaul during the boom time, what did we have? The Bertie Ahern treatment - throw more money in and postpone Armageddon, so here we are now.

A couple of questions for you dude:

1) Do you know many of those waiting for naturalization since 20005-2006 have continued to provide hard documentary evidence of tax compliance to INIS on a yearly basis, and yet their applications are being ignored?

2) Have you taken time to read most of the submission on this thread and accounts of people who INIS were waiting on their social welfare report for months if not years and when the individuals contacted Dept of SW themselves they got the report in less that 2 working days?

Time for Ireland to cop on (to use your own words) and realize that cold shoulder treatment, institutional beloved or by God spreading lovely on internet forums for that matter is no way to deal with the reality of 21st century global community in which Ireland has found itself in and dare I say has profited hugely from.

Dear 9gerian,

I fully concur. However, I would not dignify this bigoted man's comments by a reply. All I can say is that what will he say when he or a family member of his goes to the hospital and a hard working Nigerian doctor ends up saving his or his family member's life. Would he still have this bigoted view? Most of Nigerian people that I have come across are smart, intelligent and well educated. Most are doctors and engineers.

This man should just shut up and go clean toilets somewhere.

That's the joy of the internet. It makes you come down to the level of those who you wouldn't dream of in real life, doesn't it? I am very well familiar with IT's antic and his diagnoses in all their differentials What I have up there wasn't meant for him, well not until he sorts out his underlying insecurity first. I was only hoping someone out there who is genuinely interested in seeing the bigger picture would see and share in that.

How's your weekend my good friend?

[mad]

Well I fully understand 9gerian my mate. I am fine. Thanks. I wish all my friends and all my fellow immigrants a very pleasant, calm and relaxing weekend. Relax today and work hard from Monday onwards to help your adopted country stand back on it's feet once again. Ignore the barks of bigoted dogs along the way. God bless Ireland.

[Gandhai]

i fully agree with mads view.Some people in this country are so narrow minded and have constipated view point.As a matter fact natives of this country are used to be parasites of UK, USA etc and they have paranoid personality esp of govt. dept and that is the reason this country is in this place,god help them but i doubt very much that even he is interested.
