Stamp 2 or 2A CAN apply for citizenship if they are in ireland for 5 years and arrived to Ireland as minor dependent children, not as students, say at the age of 15 or earlier.realgunner wrote:My friend is in the same situation and thinking about his kids future.
Stamp 3 is better but no education at least the kids can apply for residency or citzenship after few years in Ireland.
Stamp 2 or 2A can't apply for anything because they're students end of the day, when they finish their course ,can't find empolyment within 6 months they will have to go back
100% sure. If child arrived to Irl before age 16 as minor, his further stamps 2, 2A DO COUNT for citizenship. Before it was considered as non -reckonable for citizenship. But a few years ago they started counting them as RECKONABLE.realgunner wrote:are you sure they can apply citzenship??
and what about stamp 4 can they apply for that.

...I came into the country in 2002 as a minor to join family ... My parents recently got naturalised but the problem is that i am now of full age and will have to fill the form 8 form for my application as i am not a minor anymore. ...Every member of my family are naturalised except me. Plus i sent an application to INIS 2 months ago.
Wow! Not good, that's not very encouraging at all, want to apply for Irish citizenship so I can get over to my boyfriend, don't want to be separated from him more than I have to . Am hoping for the best, for me and all the people who are still waiting to be approved. Sending Positive thoughts your way.scrudu wrote:The other Citizenship Timeline Tracker thread has gotten pretty long now (nearing 70 pages) and it's proving very hard to track exactly how long it's taking people to get citizenship after applying to the DoJ. I've created a spreadsheet to track details of applicants so we can see how long app's are really taking. My hope is that we can see whether anyone is actually being processed in the advertised average of 23 months, and see if there are any trends on how/when processing happens.

what stamp are you holding now? how long is the validity?moro1 wrote:I live in Ireland since i was 10 . I applied for the citizenship about a year and so . When i sent my application first i got a reply within 2 months asking me for letters from all schools since i arrived to the state and a reckon able residence letter , the reckonable residency letter took me about 6 months to get as they were ignoring my letters until i got a lawyer to contact them . All of this was without getting a reference number .
When i sent the application again , i got a reply asking me to fill the new application which i did then i got a reference number .
My question is , why i did not get a reference number the first time . and why they ask me to fill the new application while my application was submitted first before the new application was introduced .
My second question concerning the reckonable residency , When i turned 16 they gave me stamp 2A then when i went to college i was given stamp 2 before i applied for stamp 4 . My lawyer said its fine because as i was with my parent and i arrived to the state while i was a minor and not on the purpose of study .
Does anybody now someone with the same case ? Should i suppose that its fine because the application was accepted and i was given a reference number
I think you will have to make the declaration in the presence of a Solicitor/ Gardai and he will later counter sign. I hope this helpsmalikscompany wrote:hi guys , i am filling citizenship application form , everything is ready but just got stuck on declaration section, my application is based on 5 years.
I know I need to sign declaration , but do I need someone else to get it signed too, like Garda or solicitor or someone, and what kind of witness I need to sign on declaration section .
I know many people on this foram applied for citizenship so please let me know if someone know how I can fill it.
Thanks

Laxani, I have been to NCS today for BC application. I was told Home office is extremely busy with applications and even the deduction of the fees could take upto two months. Hope that helps.laxani wrote:I have applied via NCS on 14th Nov but have not received any acknowledgement letter. Is that normal? Please help.
