Don't agree with first 6 points- can you substantiate your findings ?dgnhly wrote:Guys, (Without Prejudice)
I did not entertain the lengthy process however I have decided to create a 'lessons learnt sheet'. Maybe Scrudu can add a new sheet to the existing one so everyone can benefit,
TEN Lessons Learnt
LL1.- After application DOJ confirms within 15 days and sent a ref no starting with 68/XXXX/ year, and they advise an approximate processing time which appears moreless accurate (plus/minus 3 months),
LL2. They request a financial update 1 year prior approval (i.e. Bank Statements, Payslips etc.).
LL3. In most cases prior approval they ask for your financial status (i.e P21- P60 etc..and it appears that the Garda Report and Social Welfare Report takes between 6 to 12 months),
LL4. Approval takes 3 months after Birth Cert request in some cases (if they ask again),
LL5. It appears that the duration of the naturalisation process matches what they advised in their first reference letter (see LL.1),
LL6. It appears that the approval duration depends on the applicants country. It appears that most african (except South Africa) and Middle Eastern applicants receive approval between 36 to 48 months. Eastern European Countries around 30 months. Some other western nationals around 24 months,
LL7. It appears if you are a director of a company and/or have mortgage the duration is around 6 months less than normal processing time,
LL8. It appears that Irish born children have no affects to the process,
LL9. It appears they do not contact with your references,
LL10. It appears (which is very strange) if you earn less you got a quicker approval for some reason? If you are in a higher earning category (such as doctor, engineer, lawyer etc.) it takes at least 6 months more? Not sure but it appears like that.
when did you apply for naturalisation?aim wrote:Hi there,
Last Tuesday I have been informed that my file is with the minister. I presume my file went to the minister just one or two weeks before only. Based on experience, can you please let me know typically how much time it takes from there to get passport assuming that i will take oath as soon as i got the form.
Many thanks in advance.

They say it's usually 6 to 8 weeks. Not sure if that's correct, as mine is with minister for the last 10 weeks.aim wrote:Hi there,

Just called INIS for my application update for the first time and informed me that my application is with the minister for decision. Didn't asked for any further documents at any time.
Specific question asked to INIS this morning as follows
Status of ref 68/---/09 - Application is with the minister
When the application sent to minister-March last week -April 1st week
Any further documents need to send?- No..nothing at all..all in order.
Any idea how long it will take for minister's decision?- She said no idea..give couple of more weeks..
Beep..beep..beep..disconnect the call

They definitely know when it was sent, but some of the Mary's doesn't want to tell. Don't know why thoughstill waiting wrote:Hi all,

They didnt mention Garda report or anything at all in the letter. Didnt ask me to submit P21, payslips etc. Just I learned at least my application is not lost.
Class May 2009.
A friend of mine who applied in 2009 called the INIS yesterday and was told his document is with the minister..Hopefully the approval is in progress..

Marisa wrote:Hi all,
I was handed a redundancy notice yesterday....Feel very low.
Applied for naturalization in last days of September '08 and exhausted from waiting with no end in sight....
Sorry to burst the bubbles and all this pessimism on such a lovely day.
Thanks to Aceform and Marisa..Marisa wrote:Hi dublinlad,
My app is with the minister since 29th April and I was told by a talkative lady that it takes around two months minimum to proceed.
With my application she said to expect around first-second week of July.
So, no reason to worry on that account, you should expect your letter this/next week the latest.
Well, knowing that some people manage to get their citizenship approved whilst living on a social welfare, I'd say they may well not ask for it.IRISH PHAROE wrote:Marisa,
yes that's exactly what happened so I doubt getting the approval, just hoping and pray to god, that's what I can do.
hopefully they will not send any further request for more documents
