@Deekay

I couldn't understand you well. Why you said you are out of 25 Nov ceremony. Did you get a letter stating that you are still in the initial phase? If so that is some update and that is kind of weird strategy.
Please don't lose hope you never know next week you get the approval.
Best,
Saad

Hi Saad

yes i sent email today and this is the reply i got.
"Hi Deepak,
Your application remains at initial processing stage, as soon as your
application has been fully initially processed you will be advised of same
via letter.

Regards"

this is much better reply than " Continue to be processed" atleast we know where is application. let hope for next year now :-)

@ Deekay

Let me get this right now. Who was the writer of the email? Nial or Tony Greens? How many times in this week did you send them emails? May be they just got exhausted and emailed you like that?

Best of luck,
Saad

@ Deekay and @ michael..

Who is the person sending such a clear reply? I know Deekay sent email today what about you michael?...

I am now thinking to resend them an email to get a clear picture since it feels like there is somebody sitting today who is willing to tell where is the actual application in the process pipline.

Hi saad

i think we need to ask clear question to them to get clear reply.

this time i did not say that i need update etc. i just asked please tell me if my application is still on initial stage or advance stage.

@Deekay

I asked them same question and always got the same reply. I once explicitly asked where is the application "initial or advanced" and they said continued to be processed. Again I tried to pose the same question and the person on the other side said that I already told you "continued to be processed"... thats my problem at the moment...

Hi Guys,

Today, i got the letter from Department of Justice that the application for Naturalization have proceeded to the 2nd Stage of processing. I had submitted my application in mid June 2016.

My Queries -
1. What processing is done in the 2nd Stage?
2. How much time it takes at an average for application process in the 2nd stage?

Thanks

we really cant do anything

now i just convinced myself to apply visa and go where i want to.
No other big advantage or being citizenship. i think they give quicker to those who are married with Irish citizens and those who spent 5 years on work permit. Irish spouse has more strong rights and work permit guys have to renew again and again.

rest can wait for years

@Deekay
I agree. All the correspondence till now starting from payment received or application moved to 2nd stage is via post to me though i don't know if they have emailed to someone else.

To All,

Any idea guys on the following queries -
1. What processing is done in the 2nd Stage?
2. How much time it takes at an average for application process in the 2nd stage?

Just planning to go out from Ireland(not so urgent) but just feel it is good to have naturalization certificate first!!

Thanks in advance if anyone can provide information on above.

To All,
Application can be processed even in month if they speed up the process..
I believe they work on batch basis..
I think they are working on April,May and June session for 25th ceremony.
If you guys follow previous time line some people got their acknowledgement in 2 days or sometimes takes up to 2 months.
Now second stage they do basically social and garda check they can do it in weeks or it might take few months..
Now again if they want speed up the process they do it in time..
many of us got acknowledgment and second letter together or some of us got second letter and approval together..
So if you are in the batch of April may and June you guys might get approval before 25th..

NB:If you have current visa just keep clam and see what happens..
God has plan for all..
Any one can give there suggestion but only experts can give advice

Hi
Guys I need some advise here.
I sent my application on the last week of august with new form and original passport now its 05th week come to an end yet I got nothing back from dept. should I be worried ?

I have seen some people here also waited 6 and 7 weeks before there first letter arrived but they all applied with old form and did not submit original passport.

any advise would be much appreciated.

To Mal111
You have absolute no reason to be afraid of..They currently dealing with august 2nd week..Just wait till another next 2 weeks and you will definitely gonna hear from them with your acknowledgement letter and your original passport..

I just hope you did register post and if you did you must have tracking number that they received..

On the other hand even if you email them now a days they give a answer back with few ours...
So not to worry just email at citizenshipinfo@justice.ie they will give a time frame when you going get back all of these..
Hope it helps
