Travel with Approved citizenship

[starbuck]

All,

I am a aug-2011 applicant and i have just got my approval for the citizenship. For this i have to surrender my garda card before july-23, 2012. However, i have to attend a very important office meeting in august for 3 weeks in the US.

They have mentioned clearly not to undertake any travel in the mean time as the garda card has to be surrendered. Would this be a problem if i go an come back ?

I have a LTR and a re-entry visa stamped till 2017. Any one who had to go in these circumstances please share your experiences.

PS : I have posted this question in the citizenship time line thread but i am re posting here for better visibility.

thanks

I would go see your local immigration officer. I founds the Guarda were always very accommodating. They have even arranged temporary cards for me when I still lived in Ireland.

Hi Starbuck,

I was wondering did you travel after your approval for the citizenship.
Can you please explain what happened at the port of entry in Dublin via passing through immigration, did you bring any documents.

Any feedback/suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks
