Do you have any news? i was trying to ring INIS yesterday, couldnt get through at all.

[godspower]

Thanks guys.

Thought I should let you guys know this; the approval letter came from Tipperary so I think they are clearing the '05 and '06 backlog. I'd say yours is coming soon...

Not yet EBS, I tried to ring them too, no one lifts the fone!

[nanette]

That service is just bad. I would recommend that they close the phone line. It is useless.

What color was the envelope did your approval come in? Could it be a Grey envelope. Am not at my house i was told there's a letter waiting for me in a grey envelope, am expecting a brown envelope though!

Hi EBS - I was told a few weeks ago that they are preparing my application to be sent to minister. Thats was the latest.

Fingers crossed!

I want to share an event, just happening now in the office:

a colleague mine, very IT skilled individual (IT Financial Systems, salary circa 200K a year), been living here 10 years, bought a house, applied for LTR (which he got) and citizenship (still waiting), I just receive his Canadian Residency visa (took 3 months to process from the UK).

He's decided to leave Ireland and go and work in Canada (as he says, where at least people are appreciated....too much hassle with the Irish government daily non-senses.

He going to rent his house as soon as he can and just leave. The moral on this he says, people contributing and/or who've contributed to this economy are not being looked after...Canada understands, while the time are tough, their country still need people with particular skills.
he continues, irelands whines about everything but the irish can take his job if they want or can do it.

I personnally see disaster for our company....he is just so much involved in these new projects (huge implementations, coding etc..) that this may come to cause a really big headache.

He continues, I am leaving not because I don't like this country, I am leaving because I don't want to be treated like a second hand citizen while I am actually paying 42%+ taxes.

Citizenship is Gift from the state to the Individual and its Not a Right, if that's the case we surely cannot be demanding the gifts. We have to wait patiently.

Thanks.
I have an address there, the Court Clerk simply asked I lived and i told him. He didn't ask for any proof. The court was very busy but we were the first people to be looked after as soon as court procedings began.

Hi. I agreed with you that Citizenship is not a Right, but I think many people has been talking about in this forum. Just take a look some people lost their job and almost get kick out from Ireland?? Is that fair for those people? I think if they set the rule 5 years requirement for citizenship. They should have reasonable time frame to grant it, not just turn around and say econmoy is bad and we dont want you to be here!

In Canada and Australia, Citizenship is not a Right either. People have to wait their time to get it as well, but at least people in those countries wont have to worry about if there PR getting cancel or not in the country if they dont keep their job with no fault of their own. Ireland came up with LTR, but it is not even permanent. If you lose your job and only have LTR. I dont think it would be fun in this country!
