3 months sharp.

Okay Guys, Don't stress out if you haven't got it. I applied for stamp 4, waited 8 months to get rejected because i didn't have one thing; Private Medical Insurance... Then i applied for Citizenship, waited 3 months and a bit! Guess what? this morning i got letter from immigration office, and finally! i got my letter of approval for Citizenship! I'm granted the Citizenship! I'm all over the moon and God is Good! i thought i would have to wait for a year or more but 2014, they do things a lot quicker. Okay, sorry for the rant but this website kept me going and i gotta thanks those people who've shared their stories and stuff with us, so i thought i'd do the same to put some people's mind at ease! yeno, those that are worrying about their applications.

I applied my application under 5 years residency and blood related to an Irish National (my dad who is holding Irish passport thru' nationalization.) I'm 19 by the way.

Application Submitted: 14.01.14
Acknowledgement Letter: 27.01.14
Second Stage of Processing Letter: 28.02.14
Letter of Approval: 23.04.14

and i will need to submit prescribe fee of 950 euro, 2 colour passport sized photographs with application ref. written at the back of them, Original Cert of Registration like GNIB card yeno. that's pretty much it.

and then after submitting these things they asked, the next letter off them should be the Confirmation Letter of my Ceremony Date and that's pretty much it.

Be patient, Joseph waited 13 years, Abraham waited 25 years, Moses waited 40 years, Jesus waited 30 years, IF GOD IS MAKING YOU WAIT, YOU'RE IN GOOD COMPANY.

Good Luck Everyone. Sleep well and have faith!

None of the above approaches is 100% guaranteed, If you could post your friends answer tomorrow will be great!!!

I went to the GNIB office today myself and talked to a supervisor who said 'please make sure you have your naturalization letter with you and you do not need anything else'.

Hopefully that's actually the last time I have to go to that office, took me 30 mins to talk to someone.

Looking forward to the ceremony now.

hi lads, is there any more approval coming this week or is all over, i think is should be 4000 for the ceromoney is only few peopel get there letter on 24 april

hi i would like to know if there is a case like mine witch i email the immigration office regarding my case got reply back saying that

my application continues to be processed with a view to establishing
whether it meets the statutory conditions for the granting of
naturalisation, such as good character and lawful residence, and will be
submitted to the Minister for decision as expeditiously as possible.

It is recognised that all applicants for citizenship would wish to have a
decision on their application without delay. As well as being a
significant event in the life of the recipient, the granting of Irish
citizenship through naturalisation as provided for in law is also a major
step for the State which confers certain rights and entitlements not only
within the State but also at European Union level and it is important that
appropriate procedures are in place to preserve the integrity of the
process.
please let me know how long i could be waiting after this,

my name ,

Your application has been submitted to the Minister for decision & you will
be informed of the Ministers decision as expeditiously as possible. It is
not possible to give an exact time frame.
