HI, everyone... , just after getting my yellow form and would like to share some information with readers of this forum.
I am Ukrainian national, arrived in ireland in 2001. Applied for naturalization based on 5 years residence( based on irish born child). Claimed social welfare only prior getting my green book and since 2002 worked full time.
Sent out application form in december 2007--> reference number( 69/9**/08) received in jan 2008.
Additional documents requested in may 2009 and sent away immediately.
Since then, everytime i rang INIS, they said they were expecting my Garda Report.
In march 2011 got really annoyed and asked my TD to ask parlamentary question (regarding my application). The answer i have received was very official, printed on Dail official paper, but essentially what they said in the letter was : just wait, buddy, there is nothing you can do to speed process up.
And suddenly, this afternoon, as i came back from work, when i opened the door something got stuck under........
There it was...lying on the floor... penalty bill for M50... ,
and two brown envelopes with the harp. One for me and one for my wife.
Dear friends, i would like to thank every person that has left at least 1 post on this forum as this is great reference point for many applicants who are trying to anticipate approval of their applications.
For those who didnt get their approval yet:
1. Deep in your heart you know you ll get it, so stop worrying and concentrate on more important things in your life. (cos you cant speed the process anymore).
2. When you Do get the approval, please drop a line on this great forum
If you have any questions, ask and will be more than happy to answer..
Scrudu, could you please update my record on the spreadsheet..
