ImmigrationLawyer wrote:I recently had a client who got naturalisation a couple of weeks after we sent in a copy of his LTR certificate and his new LTR stamp. But this is crazy - it means people are encouraged to pay an extra €500 to the Dept for LTR, just in the hope it will speed up their naturalisation !!
Good idea.alpha_1 wrote:I seriously think that they should have a status update function on their website. One should be able to enter his/her reference number and the status should be displayed like: Waiting for Minister, Garda Approval required, SW report requested, Additional Doc Requested. And along with the timeline when this activity is expected to be completed.
In this way they can get rid of 10000 Telephone Calls and 20000 Emails
I was able to get through INIS helpline today. Got response "You application will be processed around mid of next year"soikdub wrote:Has anyone called inis today? the lines seem to be dead, been trying since this morning..
Thanks a million!
Its very strange that for some people they are dealing it very quickly. Does your friend who applied in Oct 2010 had LTR as well?taquilasunrise wrote:I was able to get through INIS helpline today.

I applied in Jun 2010 and one of my friend applied in Oct 2010 already got approval today morning without any query. He is very thrilled and went straight to pub to enjoy his Irishness. I will be joining him later today
Looks like INIS messed up chronological order due to "Shatter"s order
Anyway glad to hear, something is moving !
Once I asked garda officer when I went to renew my visa. He told me that normally garda replies very quickly. So those reports should not be too late to come to INIS.IRISH PHAROE wrote:Yes I could get through the INIS help line just was inquiring about my wife's application as we applied at the same time,
they still waitting for her garda report
when I asked the lady when they expect to receive such reports she told me they are sending the reports in batchies and receive them in batchies so she does not know when they can receive it
My friend and my case is almost identical. We landed Ireland in Oct 2004. We both have LTR, from Feb 11. The only difference is I applied in Jun2010 and he applied in Oct2010 !!alpha_1 wrote: Its very strange that for some people they are dealing it very quickly.

And in your case i guess they are roughly saying next year because in website it says 23 months
Yes, there are many people including few which I know personally who got approval and they appiled in early 2010. So its not something INIS can say that 2010 applications are not opened yet.taquilasunrise wrote:

INIS said they still have to open 2010 cases which is totally false statement.
exactly same experience mate. Exactly same in all aspectsMidnightHawk wrote:This is infuriating! Spoke to INIS and they advised me "that my file hasn't come back from the minister yet", even though last week I was told that my file is back but they are busy processing the backlog.
It's great that the system is improving, but why can't you just get a consistent answer from them?
My file was sent in mid-March, surely it cannot take 3 months to come to a decision as my case is straight forward: I have children with Irish citizenship, applied on basis of 5 y residency (stamp 4) but also had LTR and is now on WCATT.
Does anyone else have the same experience?
