Yes: that’s true the business is as usual but seems this business is also affected by global crunch. So business is AS USUAL but it’s dead slow and almost ready for liquidation.Latan wrote:...2 persons i spoke to got their approval-letters- one last friday and the other one yesterday- they are from Bangladesh and India and reside in Cork city, so it looks like business as usual !!

Are you sure about that? I've applied in june 2008, and sent my additional docs in August 2010. But no word since.Latan wrote:....they applied April and June 2009 respectively....so it looks like it really is down to about 18 months....
INIS website is saying that for last 4 months.Latan wrote:...hi, i just had a look at the INIS web-site and there it states that they are commencing further processing of applications received in early 2009 !! So it seems that the wheel is turning...slowly but it is turning. Also i met a Brazilian-national who told me the Citizenship-section "lost" his application incl. the supporting documentation which he sent by registered mail.....and he applied mid-2008 !! He wasn't informed about re-applying....sounds strange....

My personal experience is that I still got refused after been informed of same.
Another experience is not all law firms know about immigration. Some will charge you big bucks when they are not even familiar with immigration laws. Size and swanky office does not matter. My experience is with a big law firm behind Burlington hotel in dublin 4 eventually it was a small law firm that resolved my issue in a few days the same issue that the big law firm told me will take a long time, might be a thorny issue and asked for a deposit of €2000. The effective and efficient law firm that knows its onions is a small law firm one lawyer running the show but he had to hand over the firm recently due to issue with the legal council. Note not the the one that spent client money. Charge by small law firm €100
Also, I personally don't see any point in filing your application through a law firm/solicitor unless you don't know how to fill out the form or you think that your case might be rejected. Its a common knowledge that Law firms/Solicitors are just rip off and DoJ doesn't care a bit if your application comes directly or through a lawyer, they'll always take their time and make decisions on individual basis.
