i need to send euros 950 and original GNIB card for naturalization.

Is it safe to send these with registered post, as I am worried it might get lost ???

Or is it possible I can go in person to the office in Tipperary town ????

Its safe to send it via registered post as you can also track it online with the tracking number that they will provide you in an post, so you'll have an idea if they receive it or not. Don't worry too much about that. I think they have loads of applicants who did that even before.
Just dont go to Tipperary in person and hand them the money yourself=P

A friend of mine got the invitation letter today for Waterford Ceremony.

"As part of the the 1848 Tricolour Celebrations for 2016 100 applicants for Citizenship will receive their certificates of Nationality at a special ceremony in Waterford City Hall on Friday 4th March. The 100 Applicants have previously been contacted by Citizenship Division and formal invitations will issue shortly" ~INIS
So if you're not included in the 100 applicants invited to the Waterford ceremony, don't get worried as all others who have paid their fee will subsequently be invited to the !5th April ceremony in Dublin city.

Hi
Your friend is from dublin or some whereelse.

My friend is from Co. Waterford. And, as Kingdomman has quoted INIS website, my friend was contacted before by INIS officials about the invitation.

Any one from early November got approved??? i applied in October and got to second stage on 14NOV 2015 i emailed them this week and its still in second stage process, i have no convections no fines and always been legal in the state just wondering will i still make it for April ceremony or is it too late for me ?

I'm in the same situation applied in October and it's still in second stage

Has anyone in this forum received the invitation from INIS for April ceremony in Dublin?

I presume it's too early to expect invitations for Dublin ceremony.

@ Kingdoman: After visiting my local TD office the last time as discussed, I got a letter from the TD office that they will act on my behalf regarding my application, so I decide to visit the office the next day to obtain more details, the lady told me that they must have written out a letter to Justice, she also said as soon as they hear anything, they would contact me. meanwhile, I have an appointment with my local GNIB on Friday to obtain my remainder stamps for just 2 months so I can send it to my solicitor as requested in order to forward it to the department and ask them for a decision on my application, this would be the third time since the application asking them to make a decision on my application. who knows hopefully : ). Thanking you & the rest of the members in this forum for your suggestions. I wish we all the best in our Application.

It's most likely your application process will only be commenced fully on the date you completed your 5 years residency. So you should count from the date of you completed 5 years residency and then add an average of 6 months to be able to determine when you'll get your approval. Good luck!

Good luck and pls remember to write a personal and passionate letter to the INIS to complement the effort of your local TD.

Do u have any traffic offences? Or any convictions?

I think the ones who got approval was applicants from june-sept(correct me if I'm wrong) coz i havent seen or read anyone who applied by oct. Maybe your approval is on the way. Its still early though. Just hang in there you'll get it soon for sure.

@ pixie12

Thanks mate couple of people got approved from October 15, maybe end of the month or early march they will be sorting Oct 15 applications.

My partner who applied in Mid Oct (Oct 12, 2015) got approved in early Feb (Feb 3, 2016). I have also seen two people (one applied in late Oct 2015 and another applied in early Nov 2015) in this forum have got approved in Jan and Feb 2016.

Yes, I did email them. They said my application is in second stage and they will let me know as soon as the decision made by the Minster

About 2 weeks ago

whats the basis of your application star? Its hard to predict the INIS sometimes. Maybe as long as it is still not on the 6 month mark(like what they stated on the letter) then there's nothing to worry about.
