LSR normally means Loan Status Report. Do you have any unpaid loans outstanding?

Thanks for your reply, I do have loans outstanding. But I still doubt it's what you mention as in Ireland it's an Irish Credit Bureau that deals with that if I am not mistaken, of course. Since the letter was signed by the LSR Further Processing Team in INIS - not any other institution or authority- this abbreviation should mean some notion re immigration, citizenship etc. There is a database called Lost, Stolen and Recovered Passports (LSR in short), I was thinking it could be smth like that. I rang the Immigration Council this morning to ask them - they have no idea what that means either.

Sorry to tell you that
I knew a friend that messed up lot with Credit cards and Loans; his application was refused on 2009 even he cleared many of the cards 6 months before the decision

Thanks ks2010, I'll just hope for the better, having waited for almost 5 years since lodging my application I pray they will give me a positive decision. I think it's not fair to refuse people on the grounds they have some financial problems, I suppose there is a far better chance to get people pay their debts if they are fully accepted by this country (i.e. got their citizenship) rather than leaving them behind to give them a thought of relocation. I personally know quite a few people who got their approvals even having debts and claiming social welfare and others who got refused on the grounds that they had been speeding somewhere a year ago.

It is definitely nothing to do with Loans. (And I never heard anything like a Loan Status Report!). We all know many cases that have got Citizenship despite poor Credit history. You better call the INIS on 062 32500 Or 1890 252 854 on Tue/Thu. They will clarify what exactly LSR means! All the best!

Sorry guys, I am more than positive man, I just shared an experience and clearly I stated it was 2009
At that time many applications were refused because of access to walfare.
The guy with the credit cards and loan (50-70k) was spending all the money enjoying himself and had plan to leave the country just after receiving the passport, may be he attracted the attention of the Garda and it was in his report

robby1, blessed_sinner,eskaybee, thank you so much guys for cheering me up, will try to ring INIS and see what they say

I have received a letter that my Application is with the LSR Further Processing Team. Does anyone know what this LSR abbreviation mean? And what exactly they do there?
(I applied in 2008)

I really do not know what the fuss all about! If they say your Application is with LSR further processing team, why don't you wait for the minister's final decision before trying to decode what LSR means, my dear do not give yourself any apprehension, what is yours no one can take it from you. Relax and let God have His way. To me LSR does not mean anything, you are just unnecessarily being over anxious

@ardee : for a lot of people naturalization means a lot more than Irish citizenship and therefore are anxious about the progress. And then when you get a letter from some ' LSR Further Processing team', its only natural to wonder what LSR is! I don't think anyone is being fussy here.

And also, this forum has proved to be an outlet for their anxiousness, intentionally or not.

"xxxtieee'': I have not seen when anxiety has solved any problem or get you what you need, it only raise your blood pressure unnecessarily, many contributors here do not know what LSR means, most are just guessing and i do not see how this guess work will help the person concerned. If you dont know it is better you dont make a contribution rather than suggesting something that could create much more worry in the heart of the person involved. I hope i am making a point.

[robby1]

New approvals should be in by first or second week of September.
Hope for better .Hold tough!

@ardee: The fact that anxiety wouldn't get results doesn't really help people relax. Its like saying "Don't catch a flu, because it isn't good for you". If you are anxious, you are anxious! How many times have you relaxed because someone asked you to?

I am against providing answers though guesswork unless it is explicitly stated so. However, I have seen that the experts in this forum have provided 'guesses' or 'ideas' that have helped the questioning party to find an answer by him/herself.

I am also against people talking off topic on a busy thread like this. So, I am gonna shut up on this for a start.

Hi everyone,

Can someone please give me some advice? I'm really annoyed at how bad the phone contact system is like! Baiscly, I got a letter from the INIS asking me for letters from all the schools I have attended in Ireland.. I started school when I was 6 in 1999 and have been to several schools.. Only problem is, I cannot get letters from any of the schools now because I went to all of them and they are closed.. and I have a 28 day period to reply or else they said they will revoke my application! :O they sent me the letter on the 31st of July.. I don't have much time left..what should I do now???

I tried calculating my parents residency in the residency checker and it came up as them having 5 years recknoble residency but the problem is that it wasn't continous becase they had a gap between the dates when their green card expired to when they renewed it by a month, however, they do have over 1,460 days in the 8 years prior to their application.. what should they do now? how long should they wait to make another application?

The issue is very clear, it is just the last 12months before you submit your application, it does not matter if there has been a break in the previous years preceeding the last one year before application, so far you have your five (5) years reckownable residence. If for instance you are submitting your Application in September 2012, there must be no break between August 2011 and September 2012. I hope this is clear.Goodluck

If you get a letter from Initial Processing Team asking you for further letters, e.g school letters and you send it to them, where does that leave you in the process? Does it move onto Further Processing Team? Is there a team after that? how much longer would it take approx?

I have the same thing for my wife. she applied as spouse of Irish National. INIS asked address confirmation (bills) and few other details. When they have all required details after about 4-6 weeks they send a letter that application is moved to second stage of processing (which i guess is further processing).

I have no idea how long it takes to Further processing team to process application as its different for different peoples.
