if you are living in dublin just visit your gnib.next week with approval letter.just explain them the situation your wife will get stamp 4.if not than she will definetly get stamp 3.its all depend on duty officer.dont worry man just relax.also gnib is closed from 23 dec 2011 till 3 jan 2012.so make sure if your wife visa is up during these day dont delay make sure visit next week,if its after 3 jan you should wait for oath letter.it will be arrive within next 2 weeks .i wish you good luck.also man please pray for all the applicant who are waiting

Dear all, just to let you know I have just received this morning the invitation for the ceremonies scheduled for 2nd and 3rd February.
I suppose all who are still waiting for invitations will get them by the end of the week. I posted my docs very late (7th Nov) and was expecting to be the one of the last receiving the letter for the ceremony dates.
So all the wait seems to be over now finally! Thank God!
Best wishes for quick approvals for all who are still waiting!

My wife had obtained her approval letter in end october and she had posted her GNIB card and bank draft on 1-Nov but yet to receive the letter with the date of citizenship ceremony.
Are there any others who have submitted around this date but yet to receive the letter with the date??

I really think you may be wrong in your deduction.The INIS website says the garda immigration bureau and visa section only will be closed to the public. There is no mention about the entire INIS section closing for the festive season.So hopefully, they will be processing citizenship applications (albeit at another snail pace!).

hi,
I was talking to the INIS today and finally they have opened my envelop today sent out the invitation today in the post. Fingers crossed that whether I will have it by tomorrow/Sat or in the new year..
Anyway finally It went out!.
Happy days.
My payment envelop was one of the last one left over. I sent on 28th oct received by them on 1st Nov. Have to reply the invitation confirmation by 6th Jan 2012.
Thanks for Everyone's Support.
