What is the main number to contact INIS. For those who contacted them recently? I have been trying to ring them and give them a reality check, but the numbers always transfers me to an automated useless human voice, and then it says not available!.

I normally get through same number after number of tries but no luck today. called them at least 25-30 times.

Thats one of the numbers that keeps saying unavailable. The most difficult part is the annoying female voice that rants over and over again about how enormous progress they have made!. It drives me nuts!.
They should put a music or something not some tired, annoying, pathetic, ridiculous voice!.

Well they know that her voice is putting people off from calling and thats why they have it in place there!.

Note: I'm always like please shut up!. I have headache after few tries!

Hi All
I phoned INIS this monring and I was dully informed that the ceremony is taken place in March 2013 but date yet not decided.

Hi Smith, can you send me the exact number that you rang INIS with? They always keep telling me that its not available after their gibberish generic automated talk. I have their 2 numbers but none seem to be working!

I just hope you are correct and these lazy inis schedule the ceremony in first week of March.[/quote]

I am literally nearing the edge of insanity after waiting 10months now (a total of about 3-4years if you counted in my 2 previous application). My life has been stopped because of this ridiculous processing time and i'd do anything to get it back but there is no other way to do it except getting my irish passport.

I totally understand what you are going through. We are waiting 4 years for my Husband to be approved. It is stressful, upsetting and my husband can't take much more. When he sees friends who are receiving approval (who applied only a year ago), it causes additional upset. But of course we are so happy for all people getting approval and I pray you get it too.
Do INIS and government understand what people have gone through waiting for so long on their application, its like your life on hold. Also is it acceptable that they are not answering phones and copy/paste emails in response. It is totally unacceptable to treat people in this manner.

hi every one i contacted inis yesterday and they confirmed that next ceremony is in april which of course is a big disappointment ,and this is confirmed through my own sources that they have removed lots of staff from citizenship processing section and placed them in airport and other departments,the reason behind this is that to save money and they r loosing interest in granting citizenship to the people so quickly,because of pressure from some irish people and some other reasons ,so forget about all the promises made by minister and the same story of long waiting will be happening from now on.it is sad and painful for people like us waiting so long like 2,3,4, years but do you think they care about us foreigners,the answer is no and no.

All we can do is wait and watch that all

That is simply such a sad story and you shouldn't write this out to the public. It will break a lot of hearts!. Most people have lost everything for this citizenship and you cant give them such a bad news.

I work closely with INIS and I will figure this out myself.

By the way, 16 staff members of INIS that helped processed the quick decisions from 2011 until recent are from Jobbridge. There is no way what you are saying is true as INIS is not paying their salaries. They were social welfare recipients that joined Jobbridge. They are working totally free for INIS and still getting support from the state as they use to get.

I doubt your source

hi as far as my source is concerned i have full trust on my source as it is from inis and the staff u r talking about is I think is removed from there and being put some where else more important for them as processing citizenship applications is not important any more ,there is other priorities for govt now so we have to wait and wait ,and the evidence of this is they skipped one ceremony of February so if u r clever then you should figure out yourself what is happening , this is very sad and unfair but is unfortunately true and by the way citizenship fees is also going to rise upto 1500 sad but it is going to happen

I bet what you're talking about is the Irish EU presidency event which will be held this Feb. The Staff members have been put across various places like airport to help with the delegations that are attending the event.

Having said that, citizenship application generates 9 Million euro in revenue recently and excluding the Irish EU presidency event, there is nothing more important than money now as far as im concern.

Dont worry people, INIS will be back and running after the 8th of Feb. By the way im clever enough to know that INIS can take as much staff as they want through Jobbridge because they dont pay them anything!.

Service will resume as normal over the coming weeks. No panic!

I fully agree with this. The importance of revenue generated thru Naturalisation fee is very significant for Irish economy - which is mentioned by the minister and published in INIS website too.
No worries, at INIS, its business as usual...no less, no more....

hi again ,it is true that they have priority of this event in February but the back log is already very huge and it is rising day by day so as they have skipped one ceremony now it means more waiting time for us . They don't care about us and they don't know that every one of us waits every day for the approval letter from inis and there is no punishment in world more harder then the punishment of waiting which we r getting from them every day ,

Few weeks ago I calculated the backlog and came about 19,000 applications currently on process. It is a backlog but not a huge backlog as it was in 2011.

Their is no point for them piling the backlog as it is there for someone to clear it up and will continue to give them headache until its cleared up.

In the coming few months you might see a ceremony were more than 4,000 people attended. They will keep doing their best to see that the backlog does not go back to being worse again and also try and keep their promises.

Alan Shatter has bragged a lot to his fellow politicians about how enormous progress he's made in clearing the backlog and will continue to do so. If he fails now, he will be a loser

[ImmigrationLawyer]

Do you reckon people could still be contacted and approved for the March/ April ceremony? Or do you think they have already contacted everyone who will have citizenship conferred at that ceremony?

[CitationCj2]

INIS are full of $hit and full of lies.
Every time i ring i get different story, different explanations.
At this stage i don't weather staff knows what is going on, maybe they are unaware of the situation aswell and kept in the darkness, or maybe they are not allowed to say anything. My guess would be no:2

@Dania:
I truly believe your sources are wrong.
You say INIS wants to downsize the staff and moved them on to likes of Airports.
Citizenship offices are based in Tipperary and do you really think staff will be relocated to likes of Dublin,Cork or Shannon. NO WAY.
First of all they are all office staff, regular employes and far from Immigration officers.
It just makes no sense.

[waiting2beirish]

Irrespective of weather the applicants for naturalization get citizenship or not, but one thing is for sure all will end up with some sort of mental , psychophysical disorder or even end up complete retarded in the worst case scenario

Exactly , 21 years old dealing with this immigration crap since 16 !! While I am here for 10 years ! My sister just turned 16 she has to start the same crap too get a stamp 2 apply for stamp 4 and wait till she is 18 to apply for citizenship ! Is this system normal ? I do not believe so ..this is mental torture

[Virgo]

Any lucky one who got approval yet ? According to alan shatter application will be dealt in six months. Seven months gone with 175 euro lol ... Every one was hoping the time frame given was a good deal to process ur application along with the fee. Not a good start for this year so far.

People are yet to be contacted in regards to March/ April ceremony. There are normally 4,000 people for every ceremony, but this may be higher. Maybe
