Hi guys,
Eventually I got hold of someone through citizenship helpline last Thursday . I unfortunately have some court fines for traffic offences in 2004. They said that they are going to send me the letter for submitting the receipt of those fines. They didn't give out any other information so I am now worried.




Hello again,
Have anyone have experienced case like mine? Please share.
Thanks,

Im in the same boat as you.
I commited a traffic offence back in 2003, got summons and was in court.
I paid my fine and got penalty points.
Now bear in mind that was nearly 10 years ago, and i was told when i rang them last week that i was ready for ceremony but unfortunately my case needs to reviewed again due to traffic offences:(

I dont know what will happen now, its all in the hands of who ever will review my file again..

Fingers crossed all goes well

Did you disclose the traffic fines in your citizenship application form?

Hi,
No i didnt disclose it for a genuine reason as i completly forgot.As it happend so long time ago, i didnt even think about any offences when i was filing out the form.
No that i am regular offender, so it slipped my mind.
I honestly dont know why such a minor thing from the past could make a problem now.

Hi Reetu,

Can you please update me on what basis you applied for. I sent my application on the 24th July 2012 based on 5 years residency, Employment permit holder. Got acknowledgement on 22nd August 2012. Haven't received second letter yet.

Here is an update for my naturalization application:-

Application sent : 18/07/12
Acknowledgement letter recd : 17/08/12
Second letter recd (from Initial processing team) : 20/09/12

It is very surprised me to get letter from Initial processing team informing that my application was successfull at Initial prcoessing stage and now it is moved to 2nd stage and after completing it, my application will be forwarded to Ministers decision for final approval. It is saying six months period, but i hope to at December ceremony, if the 2nd stage finish fast like in 1st stage.

Hope for better.

thanks

I had the same thing for my wife in June 2012. After few days i received letter that processing time is 6 month except difficult case. Nothing since than.

Seems as we are approching to X-mas time INIS is getting slower and where is the promise of minister Alan for process within 6months after Spring...???

[reetu012]

5 year residency

Stamp3, Stamp-1 & Stamp4 (Irish born)

It has been told in the 2nd letter that processing time is six months except in some difficult cases.

So, hopefully looking for early next year ceromoney.

Does anybody knows about ceromonies for next year?

Got a letter in the post today saying I'm now in the second stage in the process for Naturalisation and if checks are fine my application will be forwarded to the Minister for justice for a final decision.

I applied in December 2011 based on 5 years residency.

Fingers crossed!

I submitted my son's application on September 2011, he was 19 year old at that time. INIS requested for letters from school on March 2012, I posted letters from all school attended, they acknowledged them and none after that. I can't understand why is my son's application is taking so long to process. He was in Ireland since he was 11 years old and still in full time education up to date. In my eyes his application should be process in accordance to minor application procedure.

dhang,

At 19 when you applied for him, your son was an ADULT and his application will be considered to be a Form8 application and not a minor application. I hope you have completed the correct form?

All the best

Totally agree with you , I am in the same boat , then you have some morons talking about integration and all , what about doing the people who are already integrated a favor ? Stop making them go through horrible immigration process at a young age , and giving 16 years old who lived in the country since the age of 10 or less stamp 2 and making them feel insecure on such a young age . I wonder what do the lads down in the department of children and young affairs have to say about that !!

[Angel592]

Hi,

I got this email from INIS today:

''A letter is being issued to your legal representatives,***********
today advising them that your application has been initially assessed and
has proceeded successfully to the next stage of processing.''

Can you please tell me what does the ''next stage of processing'' mean exactly? What's the procedure of this stage? Is this the final stage or is there another stage after this? Really anxious to know! I really hope I get a letter for the ceremony after the October one..

I'm in the same boat, I'm 20 now, been here since I was 6 years old!!!! Applied in Nov 2011... The amount of times I had to go to the department of justice, my passport is like full of stamps n re entry visas .. they gave me stamp 2A first time i applied, paid 100euro, then 6 month stamp 4 another 100euro then another 6 month stamp 4 another 100 euro then ANOTHER stamp 4 another 100 euro.. not to mention all the re entry visas i paid like over 500 euro all in total its ridicolous.. A teenager who grew up in Ireland nearly all of their lives shouldn't have to go through all of this!!!!!!!!!!!

I applied around the same time i have not heard nothing , i will ask my solicitor to contact them . I can not see why people who lived here since the age or 10 or so should go through all of this its outrageous really
