Person ID Number :20927 3 -09 ApplicationNo: 1638404-CITZ-14 ,
Dear ,
I am directed by the Minister for Justice and Equality to refer to your applicaton for naturalisation.
The granting of Irish citizenship through naturalisation as provided for in law confers certain rights and entitlements not only within the State but also allows citizens to travel freely to the United Kingdom with whom Ireland shares the Common Travel Area. Therefore in deciding on an application for naturalisation the Minister affords significant importance to the protection and preservation of the Common Travel Area arrangement.
It is understood that you have an adverse immigration history with the United Kingdom. Can you confirm if this applies to you and if so please forward details of the circumstances that gave rise to'family visit visa refused on 04/08/2013'. Al[ relevant information will be fully taken into account in consideration of your application. If you feel that this data is incorrect you should contact the UK Home Office to clarifu the content of data relevant to you.
Yours sincerely,
Further Processing Team 2l Novernber2014

AND following it my reply which i post them today .
Dear ,
I refer to your letter dated 21 November 2014 which i got today in which you asked me about the details of UK visa refusal on 04/08/2013 , first of all i want to inform you that i was not refused any UK visa on 04/08/2013 but i was refused a UK visa on 08/03/2012 which you did not mention in your letter , i can not understand where did you find that i was refused a UK visa on 04/08/2013, so can you please first confirm if this was a typing mistake from you or you got this information from UK Home Office ? As if you got this information from UK Home Office then i will contact them regarding my record correction as i was not refused a UK visa on 04/08/2013 at all , now i come to my UK visit visa applications history since i came to Ireland , i applied 4 times UK visit visa and was granted 3 times UK visit visa and was refused one time as well . Following is my UK Visit visa history.

1- UK visit visa issued from 24/04/2008 to 24/10/2008( Passport KF259067 page 12)
2- UK visit visa Refused on 08/03/2012 ( Passport KG 746080 page 34 )
3- UK visit visa issued from 31/07/2012 to 31/01/2013( Passport KG746080 page 09)
4- UK visit visa issued from 26/02/2013 to 26/08/2013( Passport KG746080 page 12)

Above is my entire UK visa history which you can verify with my passports as i have given page numbers for your convenience and you can see there was no UK visa was refused on 04/08/2014 as you stated in your last letter.
Now i come to the refusal visa Reasons , as you can see after one Visa refusal i was granted visa twice after that which proves that there were not serious and solid reasons for my visa refusal except the visa deciding officer was not in favourable mood and refused my visa otherwise i would not have been granted visa twice after that refusal. The reasons he gave for refusal were following.
1- your financial situation did not improve since you came to Ireland and it is almost as same as the time whem you came to Ireland.
2- you don,t have any property , shares or any other assets in Ireland which proves your strong ties in Ireland so i don,t feel comfortable granting you a UK visit visa.
Above are the only reasons he gave me for refusal but if i was not able to get very good job and making plenty money that was not my fault , i was trying my best and working very hard all my jobs i was getting , i believe he was afraid that i might not come back to Ireland if i go to UK which proved wrong as i did not have any intention like that. I tried to find that refusal letter but i could not find it as it is more than two years now and i am afraid i might have threw it away but if that letter is essential for you and you can not process my application further without it then i can request UK Home office to issue me duplicate of that refusal letter .
I would be obliged if would inform me what i need to do next.

Yours sincerely ,
25/11/2014
Makes sense enough. Your case is as simple as abc.YNYY even after No you still have 2 Yeses; I think INIS shld employ competent pple. Paying €175 for processing fee and reverting to us in this manner is never worth paying for. Honestly mine was straight 4wd but seeing pple like you having to go extreme end to become Irish citizen is awful. Start saving ur €950 and believe it or not ur next brown envelope will be ur approval letter.

babami.. below is the formatted version.. its clean and bullet pointed and no questioning or smart arsing to the inis guys..
they love:
1- short
2- clean
3- direct to the point

ps include your persona nd applicaton id.. and also scans of all uk approvals and the refusal one too..

---------------------------------------------------------


Dear ,

Reference to your letter dated Nov 21, 2014, I wish to clarify that the UK visa refusal was dated 08/03/2012 not on 04/08/2013. If you believe the date you mentioned is correct, please let me know so I can clarify it with UK border agency.
I got 1 refusal out of 4 applications. All other applications with UK border agency were approved (scans are attached, and details provided in a table below).


The refusal letter (Passport No. KG 746080 in 08/03/2012) mentions the following as the basis for refusal according to UK border agency:

• My financial situation did not improve since my arrival to Ireland.
• I do not have enough ties to Ireland (i.e no property or shares or any other asset)


To support my application for naturalisation in Ireland, I wish to clarify the following:

• I already got 3 approved UK visa in the last 10 years, and I’m still complying with immigration laws and reside in Ireland and did return to Ireland within the visa time frame and regulations.
• The reason for refusal, although factual about my financial situation, was judgmental in reality and was not based on not complying with the rules and laws of immigration previously. The fact that I’m still in Ireland, although travelled to UK and returned, defeats their grounds for refusal.
• I understand that becoming an Irish citizen means that I play a role in making sure that the common travel area regulations are to be complied with, and I want to assure you that the only reason for my refusal was based on my financial situation at that time, and I do/did not cause any threat to the border or country security or any other party, not only in EU, but around the world. As you know, most of people around the world come from difficult financial background and we do our best to work on ourselves within the laws for a better life and a better situation, hence it’s not in my interest to do anything wrong.


Kindly find attached scans of previous UK visa approvals and UK visa history table.

Please let me know if you want further documents.

Trust me in such a case if truly am more than 100.1% that av never bn to uk or applied for uk visa and I received such a response from inis to explain my travelling history or refusal whatever; I will personally go on air e.g newstalk to expose them of reaping us off by collecting our €175 without actually doing anything to justify their decision. I will request an apology from minister herself for the trauma they made me past tru. Very annoying guys.

@ all
it seems that strange things are happening now.... what does this mean to the ones apart of other who got into trouble by these strange letters requesting addtional information at the final stages.... Does it mean that inis is trying to reduce the number of approvals?? or just showing that they are really efficiently working by making unnecessary noise??...
best of luck to all who are waiting and especially to those who are responding to these strange letters

Hi Approval678

that is very strange. they always answer when contacted and usually within maximum an hour. anybody here contacted them within the last 48 hours? please let us know

what until the morning, and sure you can send them a letter asking for an updated before escalating the issue to the minister office

CORK CITIZENSHIP CEREMONY IN NOVEMBER 2014

The next citizenship ceremonies will take place in University College Cork on Monday, 24 November, 2014.

Some 800 candidates will attend the ceremonies where they will take an oath of fidelity to the nation, receive their certificate of naturalization and thereby become Irish citizens.
