Naturalisation Questions

[IntegratedMigrant]

I believe that I have helped people in this Forum and may resign after 1000 posts. So every Post counts now

Thank you both IntegratedMigrant and reverse_blade93.
But i'm well aware of what's happening with an aid of the current minister, however it was a requirement, and I've just simply stated that based on my case my application process should not be delayed.
As i do satisfy all the requirement and i'm of a good character. And there is not that much to check about me as I did not change job or house since i arrive here.

It depends on the reason why you are refused and when you are refused. If the INIS have finished their investigation after your visa expires, you will have no problem I think

 A letter issued to the person referred to by the Deputy on 25 March, 2013 informing him it was intended to grant his application for a certificate of naturalisation.

As well as being a significant event in the life of its 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.

Is this suppose to me you?

[jeupsy]

Argh ... being told that things are delayed after having been invited to a ceremony and send the payment is tough!!

BUt if something big comes up (for exemple if at the last minute they someone realised the application was based on some forged documents), fair enough from INIS.

Hello everyone!
According to what i see here and on the other forums, lot's of us who applied in the December and late January (2012-2013) got their approvals on the 10th of July (dated:8th of July).
As i also applied in late January 2013 and did not receive approval, i would like to know when would be the next mass release of approvals (approximately)?

p.s. my case is simple, based on 5 years 4 EuFam, currently holding 10years permanent residence card 4 EuFam, no social welfare, no crime convictions, 2 Irish children.

Kind Regards,
Mary

No social welfare and 2 Irish children means nothing practically. Although you did not receive any letter, letters will be continued to be sent until the final week of August.

What do you mean until the final week of August? Do you mean after August there won't be any more approval letters for this year?

What do you mean until the final week of August? Do you mean after August there won't be any more approval letters for this year?

OMG @Angel592, I cant explain this any further. With all due respect please ask someone that understands better English to tell you what I meant. Letters will always continue to be sent forever really.

Yes it is very serious indeed, I doubt the minister will approve his/her citizenship anytime soon if possible at all

[NewIrish]

So I got my approval earlier this year and now I am filling the form for my wife... Should she apply as a spouse for Irish citizenship or based on 5 years residency. whats your view on this?

Study the Form 8 carefully and apply based on whichever that is easier.

[xyazx]

applied in Feb 2011 on behalf of spouse of Irish citizen
further document asked Mar 2013

[alegalalien]

Hi friends,

I will soon apply for Irish citizenship through Naturalization based on 5 years residence.
I have inquired the the summary of registration dates from GNIB office and got the letter.
It is very surprised that the first 2 stamp dates are different from the Stamp on my passport.
The difference is only 2 days, but I don't know why ? how come there is a difference from passport and GNIB ?
In my residency calculator, I just put in the dates from passport, is it the right date ?
Do you have any opinion ?

I appreciate your helps.

It takes 0-3 months for the Minister to make a decision.

Alegalalien

Yes it is right. If the dates on your passport passes the residency requirement test then that what you'll use. Dont worry about the different dates, it happen sometimes.

[alegalalien]

Hi IntegratedMigrant,

Thanks for your quick response.
The stamp on my passport is 2 days after the dates from GNIB.
It means that, if I take the residency calculator based on passport stamp, I would be 2 day less than requirement if calculated based on the dates from GNIB.

On the safe side, I may delay my application for a few days to meet GNIB dates.

The issue is why the date difference between passport stamps vs GNIB data happens twice, probably there is some reason, it is not just an error of data base ..
