It would greatly assist us if you only contact us if it is absolutely necessary as this will allow us to devote the maximum time to the processing of applications.

This is the second last paragraph of the acknowledgment letter they sent recently.

I think it may be a wrong approach to call them every so often. This obviously is annoying them more than helping us to get the decision any quicker.

Agree with you. Calm down. Lots and lots of us wil get it before Xmas. Let them work. Less we ring - quicker they issue long-awaited letters.

I stand to be corrected

EBS · Post by **EBS** » Thu Sep 17, 2009 10:16 am

Guys, how long it can take for an application to "sit" in the minister's office, do you think its standard 4 weeks or can be any faster?

Thanks

yelims · Post by **yelims** » Thu Sep 17, 2009 11:13 am

so a month has passed since i last rang

month #37

trying ring now but its all busy

Tuner · Post by **Tuner** » Thu Sep 17, 2009 12:37 pm

After you pay 950 and send papers to INIS it takes normally 50-60 days to get the Cert by post.
But there are cases with 30-40 days as well.

Tuner im pretty sure that isnt correct, the average seems to be 4 weeks and it also states on the citizens info website that the certificate is normally issued within 30 days. 50-60 days seems to be when there are holidays and the department is closed.

To answer EBS question. I think once the application has been sent for approval the max it takes is 4 weeks on average, however there have been cases I know of that have taken considerably longer and some considerably less. I dont think they sign the approvals one at a time but rather in batches, so it could depend when youre application is put in to the batch it could come back quicker. Im guesstimating that mine took 2 weeks with the minister.

Tuner · Post by **Tuner** » Thu Sep 17, 2009 2:15 pm

OK, I would agree to 40-50 days on average (like most of my friends), but not 30, for sure. For me it took 55 days. If they ask u to submit to Dub , not Tipp then its quicker.

yelims · Post by **yelims** » Thu Sep 17, 2009 6:05 pm

eventually got thru

so a month after they said it was all prepared to go to minister

they now say its with him

and to wait a month
