I don't think so, I called helpline yesterday for my wife 10/2010 application and I was told there are still waiting Garda report and it was the same status since I started calling them from 10/2011 every month
Once I was told they received all the 2010 Garda reports another time my wife was told congratulation but your number is high to be invited to April 2012 ceremony few weeks later she was told that there was no progress in her application and she will be lucky if she receive her citizenship in one year

Hi friends,
Thanks a mill to all the contributors and its wonderful!
I have applied (5 yrs completion, stamp4) on 22nd December 2011, so its as good as January 2012. So, is there any hope that the decision may be received before end of this year?
Please advise...

[seraph]

If your application is a 'standard case' I think you will be called for October 2012 ceremony. So you'll get invitation during September.

Hi All, you are a great bunch of people and I appreciate your information sharing.

I am in Ireland since 2002 and on work visa since 2004. I was married to an Irish citizen in 2010 and my visa was transferred to spouse visa.

I applied for my citizenship in December 2011 on behalf of 5 years work visa but I did send them information of my marriage as well.

Do you think my application would be treated as working visa or as spouse of Irish citizen? Also do you think I would get my invitation this year.

I appreciate your help. I would be sharing information with you all as a lot of my friends got their passports.

My understandong is 18000 ' in the process TO DECISION' stage means, not reached the decision level but in the process. This could include all Valid and qualified applications in different stages of the process. But its only my openion - not sure though!

Today one of my friend got confirmation for citizenship application from INIS. In that letter it is clearly mentioned his decision will be taken within 6 months. That means all standard cases applications of 2011 & 2012 (up to June) will be cleared during Oct & Dec citizenship ceremonies. (4000 + 3000 = 7000) will get citizenship during Oct & Dec ceremonies.

Best of luck everybody who are anxiously waiting for and God bless you all.

Hey that is great news , if you kindly share how long it took for your friend to get this acknowledgement?

[Vinnyb]

Hey all.
I too got my approval in the current batch with ceremony on 30th. But I am freaking out.

When I went to the post office to get the money order, the clerk filled it out and he wrote on the PAY section just 'Secretary General.' I told him that it should be 'Secretary General, Department of Justice and Equality,' but he said that it wouldn't fit and that they did loads of these all the time and that it would be no problem and that they hadn't had any returned or complaints so far.

I was uneasy about it it but there was a long queue behind me and I went along with it. Now I am panicking that the Citizenship department will not accept the money order and I won't get my certificate at the ceremony.

Has anyone any advice? Or similar experience in terms of what they wrote on the postal money order?

My relatives say it should be fine that lots of people probably do the same thing.

IT does means that it will take another 6-9 months when i rang i have felt that they even do not have any information about my file in their computer and the person i spoke to looked like unable to tell me any thing i guess that the file information is not updating in their system.i been told that file is processing through the normal procedures.i guess that this category files will take 24 months average time .

I don't know why people are going to Post office for payment. First thing is they cannot give one Order as their maximum limit is 650 Euros and their commission is too high. Instead of that go to any bank and take a Demand Draft. It will cost you only 1.90 Euros.

You r right i think the same!!!

[minniepoe]

some of us that applied in 2010 are still waiting on our response from INIS. And these applications are not based on irish spouse but on 5 years reckonable residency..

It is just so unfair some people who applied a year and more after us have received approval letters and we are still waiting on gardai report..

Dears i got this reply on email,i applied in February 2012.
Any idea how long it takes from this point to decision

Your application is currently being processed with a view to establishing whether it meets the statutory conditions for the granting of naturalisation, such as good character and lawful residence, and will be submitted to the Minster for decision as expeditiously as possible.

It is recognised that all applicants for citizenship would wish to have a decision on their application without delay. As well as being a significant event in the life of the recipient, the granting of Irish citizenship through naturalisation as provided for in law is also a major step for the State which confers certain rights and entitlements not only within the State but also at European Union level and it is important that appropriate procedures are in place to preserve the integrity of the process.
