I applied in Dec 2011 on 5 years basis and im also married to Irish national. I received a letter this morning asking for copy of passport page with issue date on it. It said the moment they receive this, they will put me to the 2nd stage. Whatever that means. but it seems they have started working on late 2011 applications so hoping to get the confirmation for December.
Good luck to all who are waiting and congrats to who have received for October ceremony.
Wow that's lucky. I also applied on the basis of five years residency as i came into the country as a minor based on my mothers IBC. Emailed the citizenship office yesterday and received this letter
Dear xxxx
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.
Regards
Citizenship Section.
So i doubt i will be in this batch
