Just wondering do you have LTR? If yes, then when did you applied and when did you get it?ArtVision wrote:Hello everyone,
great forum, thank for all your contribution to the topic,
here is my experience
Applied in Oct 2009 based on 5 year residency, no request for additional documents so far, I plan to send them my recent pay-slips and P21,
called INIS yesterday to ask about the status of my application:
The answer of a nice Mary: "based on your application number 68/94**/09, I can see you applied in Oct 2009, we are currently looking at May 2009 applications, when we reach yours it will be processed quickly"
No indication of time line was given to me, they really do not know.
It seems that with the current processing speed of 2000 applications per month, they should reach October 2009 batch in 2 month, assuming they work in a chronological order, in reality it will take longer.
You can go to AnPost Office and buy the mail redirection facility. INIS will still send your CoN to your old address but Post Office will redirect it to your new address.bugu07 wrote:Hi Nanette 9jarian and other senior members
I applied for CoN and waiting for more than 5 weeks. I have to change my address now. what can I do to expedite it. Should I call dept and give them my new address. will they ask for more documents now like new proof of address. this may delay things as I can not get any document about proof of address immediatly. Please help
No, I do not have LTR, so they have to wait for Garda report as well.hohbfa wrote:Just wondering do you have LTR? If yes, then when did you applied and when did you get it?ArtVision wrote:Hello everyone,

Because seems like one who has LTR, his file is processed quickly
Well those who already have LTR received their approval. Even from 2010 applications who recently got LTR got their naturalization approved. So my friend there is no chronological order here.ArtVision wrote:No, I do not have LTR, so they have to wait for Garda report as well.hohbfa wrote:Just wondering do you have LTR?

Yes, I know, there is so much contradictory information at the stage that any predictions are just pure speculations, for example on the INIS phone when placed in the waiting line, the voice says: average processing time is 26 months, while on their website it has been reduced to 23 monthsalpha_1 wrote:Well those who already have LTR received their approval.

On inis web site it says:
The section is currently commencing further processing of applications received in late 2009
But for you they are telling that they are processing May 2009 Applications. May 2009 does not fall under late 2009 processing time frame. Good Luck with your application, but these guys are making a mess out of this system.
When you say LTR, do you mean Stamp 4 or Stamp 5?alpha_1 wrote:

I am from group of 2007 and my file is with minister since May this year. 49 months of waiting and now I am keeping my figures crossed.Angel592 wrote:Oh yes, I hope so, that would be quite delightful!

I guess another big burst of approvals is on the way after two weeks and this time ceremony will be even bigger. Maybe for couple of hundreds new citizens....
Thanks 9jeirean for great info. That means people attending ceremony are getting informed well in advance from the date of ceremony. Last ceremony was on 24th of June and they must have informed to applicant at least 2 weeks prior to this or maybe more to arrange draft and photographs to send to INIS. INIS also required some time to print CoN before ceremony. I think if they have a ceremony in July same as June, they will inform selective people by 10th of July for the same.9jeirean wrote:According to INIS, those who attend last week were selected randomly from the approval list and are sent invitation letters and request for payment passport photographs etc ahead of the ceremony. The CoN are handed out on the day of the ceremony.Eastend wrote:Anyone who attended citizenship ceremony can tell us what was the procedure to attend and how the got invitation for this ceremony. Did they pay 950 Euros at Dublin castle or send draft to INIS in advance.

I think you send them one proof of address by registered post along with covering letter but if you can wait or can collect your post i guess wait another week because i think you will get your CoN within next week.bugu07 wrote:Hi Nanette 9jarian and other senior members

If your file is with minister for more than 8 week i think you must write to minister directly for the same.Angel592 wrote:When you say LTR, do you mean Stamp 4 or Stamp 5?alpha_1 wrote:

I've been in Ireland since I was 6 years old.. (1999) and I've Stamp 4 (I applied for naturalization in 2010).. and my mom has Stamp 5 and she applied in 2007.. her application has been with the Minister for a few months now.. no replies.. you're right, the system is a mess. i don't understand how they are processing 2009 when there are people waiting from 2007/2008.. :/
Yeaah I guess you're in the same boat as my mom hope u all get ur approvals in the next batch!Eastend wrote:I am from group of 2007 and my file is with minister since May this year. 49 months of waiting and now I am keeping my figures crossed.Angel592 wrote:Oh yes, I hope so, that would be quite delightful!

Hi Marisa and Aceform; I was taking to INIS today. I called up around 12:20 pm and fortunately placed directly in call queue !! One of nice talking Mary then answered currently they are clearing all 2007/2008 and 2009 backlog as they are getting lots of complainants from those batches. So you both might get your yellow form in next month's batch.Marisa wrote:No, it's not that you might have thoughtAceform wrote:??
I didn't get anything. And didn't bother to call them either. I remain positive in one thing - our applications (second half of 2008) are piled together.
hmmm, thought you got the same answer as mineMarisa wrote:No, it's not that you might have thoughtAceform wrote:??

I am from Jun2010 batch + LTR approved and she assured ours will processed much quicker than previously thought (23/26 months). She didn't give any timeline but again assured it might be late this year or early next year.
So keep your fingers crossed
