Congrats KZN and NearlyIrishNearlyIrish wrote:Finally, Finally, Finally...
Came back from a team night out this evening and guess what was waiting for me in the letter box....the long awaited piece of paper that tells you your application for a certificate of naturalisation has been approved.
Funny thing is, only this morning I went to the GNIB to get my stamp 5 for 10 years with the Without Condition as To Time endorsement.
My timelines as follows:
1. Applied in May 2006. Ack same month
2. Further docs, P21, bank statements and Birth affidavit requested in Aug 2008.
3. Certified marriage cert copy requested in Feb 2009
4. Sept 2008 - April 2009 waited for Outside Agencies
5. May 2009 - I was told that all Outside Agency check were completed and that file was being prepared to be sent to Minister
6. June 2009 - File was with minister
7. 17 July 2009 - Approval letter received
Many thanks to each and everyone who contributed to this forum and in helping to get a better understanding of this "Process" end-to-end. I now feel I've gained enough from this to advise others.
Hope the above helps and the very best of luck to you all.
From Nearly Irish to Partially Irish
I think you are getting it wrong. Though I don't call them, I called last 4 months ago, I dont agree with you that calling them slows them down. the phone is picked by dedicated telephone operators whose only job is picking the phone and attending tp enquiries. If there are too many phone calls, calls simply enter into a queue till one of the operators is available. And who says they - DOJ - are in a hurry to do the work? Are you sure they are not delibrately delaying for reasons we dont know?Lost Soul wrote:Just to reiterate what others have posted before:
If you people stopped phoning twice a week and let them get on with processing applications we would all benefit.

That's the number of time, I have heard this...
Although I don't really want to get drawn into this discussion, I would just say that the calls probably don't make much difference to processing speed. I think that there is probably only 1 person on the phone anyway (judging by how long it takes them to answer) and they will only be there for the 2.5 hours twice a week regardless of how many people call.agniukas wrote:if the section had less calls, they could reduce the number of dedicated personnel answering helpline calls and transfer them to processing which would be much handier than just answering the same queries time and time again, especially when the applicant already knows that his applications need a report from outside agencies which the section has no control over. it just comes when it comes, usually 6 months i think. so i actually do not see the point of calling every week and frustrating yourself and the operator when you can just guess the answer (outside agencies). calling won't make your application go any faster.

Is this for real, or you are just joking?Espero wrote:Hi everyone,
I got the shock of my life yesterday when my Irish spouse told me she wants to break up after 5 years of marriage and asked me to leave as soon as possible. we have a 5 years old child, I work and earn 45000+ and applied for naturalisation 16 months go as a spouse of Irish citizen (that is my status since 2004 on stamp 4) I still have 3 years in my GNIB card but my wife said she will contact INIS and tell them she is breaking up with me. I wonder where I stand in all this? I never received social welfare. will they turn down my application? if so will they withdraw my stamp 4? please give me as much information as possible I'm completely shocked and devastated and would appreciate any advice.

My two pence is this. Since you applied based on spousal relationship, and the basis is shaky, then DOJ has the right to refuse your application. Irrespective of what the law is, DOJ have their own secret codes which they apply.
For instance, people who applied for residency (stamp 4) based on Irish Born Children and cease to live in the same house with the children due to whatever reason have had their renewals refused or limited to just 3 months (just so that the applicant can mend his/her ways, or leave therafter).
In other words, DOJ follows the mantra 'do not bite the finger that feeds you' (at least until you get what you want).
So if I were you, I'll make a decision to mend my ways or damn the whole thing and see how it goes (much of a gamble there)
