"Each application is assessed on an individual basis and the amount of time required to gather all of the necessary information varies from application to application. As soon as all of the required information is available, a submission is prepared and the case is forwarded to the Minister for Justice and Equality. The Minister then makes a decision on the application in his or her absolute discretion." Some applications take about 2 moths to get approval while others take about 4 - 6 months on the average to get an approval, all depending on the basis of your application (based on 5 years residency or Marriage or Association). In your own case, waiting for 15 months goes to show there's complexity in your application, meaning, you could have come to the adverse attention of the Garda at some point in your residency or could be you have not met all the residency conditions to get express approval and therefore must wait on the absolute discretion of the Minister to get an approval. I wish you good luck in your long wait!

Would it be possible to give a summary of the content of you correspondence with the LSR Team further processing? For your information, this team prepares a submission on your application to the Minister and depending on the peculiarity of each application, it takes an average of 1 - 3 months to get an approval/refusal from the Minister once a submission is made in your application.

Hi

Could someone suggest me when I am going to get an approval letter for naturalisation

Timeline

Application submitted - 25th Mar 2015
First Stage Letter - 4th May 2015
Second Stage Letter - 25th May 2015
No Update since??

Is it advisable to contact the department or better to wait? Have read different views in this forum so I am very confused.

Please suggest when should I expect the approval letter.

Thanks

Hi KIngdomMan,

Thanks for your quick reply!

I have applied based on the Green card followed by stamp 4 for 4 continuous years. Also, there is no know fines or convictions. Is there a way to check if there is anything outstanding as I have frequently changed my residence and haven't really updated my license that often.

Which email address I should send the application status update request.

Thanks & Regards
DTD

Hi I am posting here because I really don't understand why my application is being delayed for so long.

APPLICATION TYPE:5 yrs residence, Stamp 4
APPLICATION SENT:10th of March
ACKNOWLEDGMENT: 26th of March
SECOND STAGE LETTER: pending
APPROVAL: pending

I have
- continuous full time employment with the same multinational company
- no breaks in my residency in Ireland. (No breaks in GNIB, or Irish Visa)
- no crimes/convictions, no traffic fines etc (I don't even have a driving license),no fines for TV license or any thing I can think of

I haven't yet received an email asking for a proof of my residency as most others here did, and I emailed them and received their template message that my application is still in progress and they are not expecting anything from me.

Do you have any ideas on why my application might be pending for so long? Am I the only one?

@KingdomMan,

I have just got a reply from the department with the following text.

"Your application is being prepared for submission to the Minister, it has
not yet been submitted. You will be informed of the Ministers decision as
expeditiously as possible"

I am very unhappy with their response as they haven't even submitted to the Minister. How long will it take you recon.

Please reply ASAP and suggest what I should do as it's more than 6 months already.

Thanks in advance!

@cevriye

I did receive my 2nd stage letter and just emailed them today only to get an update but that's what they have sent me. I am worried that even after 6 months why have they not submitted my application to the minister. What could be the reason?

Which number do we ring the department for an update. Please share

KingdomMan · Post by **KingdomMan** » Tue Sep 29, 2015 2:10 pm

I refer to this: "4.confirmation of cancellation of my fine by the court", Was there a time you were taken to court for an offence? As this has raised a red flag and could be the reason for the delay. I hope it will not be prolonged than this and you can get your approval soon. It's likely to take a while to get your approval but just keep calm and hope for the best soon as early as the first quarter of 2016.

Please, on what basis is your application and have you fines or convictions prior to your application? I your application is on the basis of 5 years residence or Marriage and you have no court imposed fines or convictions, then I can tell you that you're almost there.. Since a submission to the Minister is likely to happen soon in your case, you seem a good candidate for approval and likely part of the citizenship ceremony for November/December this year or tentatively for January next year 2016. Good luck in your patient wait!

Briefly.....My application was submitted in Oct. 2014,though I have conviction on Traffic offence in which I paid part of the money due to my unemployment and when I got a job I started saving in other to pay this fine,I went to the court where I was convicted I was told that my fine has been cancelled that is before I was even due for for to apply.
When I apply I quoted everything without hiding anything since Oct 2014 they only ask for all those things I wrote to you before on 24 of July 2015.Then I went to court where I was convicted a letter was written to me in confirmation of the cancellation of fine by the court which I have forwarded to INIS since 6 of August 2015.
That is whole fact.

I have applied based on 5 years residency and I don't have any fines or convictions that I am aware of. I just checked with the dept if there is any penalty points on my driver's license but there is none.

What else I can do to check if there is any outstanding issues that may be there as I haven't really changed addresses on my cars log book. Please suggest and I'll check it just for peace of mind.

Thanks

@cevriye I am perplexed as to why havent you received a 2nd stage and approval as yet, as yours appears to be a straight forward application!

Were you denied a visa to any of the EU countries in the past?

I know one of the cases where the applicant worked in the UK for 2-3 years, and then had been working in here for 5 years before the date of application, and it took around 8 months for his application to be approved. Does this relate to your situation?

Rio29 · Post by **Rio29** » Tue Sep 29, 2015 10:00 pm

Gracious2015 how long the final stage take? and is it called final stage when the file in minster office or what ? have they still sending approval, are they are gathering all approval to be send out or what exactly ? Gracious2015 if you can answer to my question
