As per their email to me 2 weeks ago. They said I should be hearing from their office 3-4 weeks. So im expecting mine next week or the week after that, which is almost the second week of june 2016. I've been on the advance stage for awhile now, hopefully it'll start to rain approvals already. Goodluck to all of us waiting!!!xx

Hi guys I just got my GNIB renewed letter today on post. I will have to go to my local immigration office to register so I can send a copy to Inis. My file has been on a final stage for the past 5 months. I also got a reply on email that my application has been processed. Hopefully if I send then my new residency.

Any one here applied for passport after 26th April ceremony, Well i applied the same day and on second stage since 6th May. No update since, Where as my friend posted with me same day same counter via passport express received his passport on 20th May, We both send copies of PSC card no original.

Please if anyone can comment that why is this delay as my target issue date was 18th May but no update since. Thanks

That you put in your passport application on same date with your friend is no guarantee that you'd get approval and issuance of passports on same date. Applications are treated on individual basis and by different case worker and it all depends on your accuracy and clarity in filling your application forms and also on the efficiency of the case worker handling your file. I am experiencing same as you are too as my friend had her passport delivered today and mine is still pending despite applying same day and time.. A little bit patience will do. :)

That is not TRUE! We've heard and seen people had their passport application approved and issued with just a photocopy of their Public Service Card submitted with all other required documents. It's even stated on the DFA.IE that under no circumstances must you send your original PSC (only photocopy of card required) with your passport application.

If the application is for a minor child it doesn't take long (averagely 2 - 4 months) but if the application is for an adult then it could take longer than necessary. It's best for an adult to apply based on Irish spouse or 5 year residency.
you still have not answer the question regarding adult time regarding application for naturlisation by irish associates. is it a year or 15months or how long?

We have applied with a photocopy. Let's see what's the result before drawing conclusions on this.

There's no timeframe regarding adult application based on Irish Association. You're at the mercy of the INIS so you can only pray, hope and wait patiently for it to come through. Like I've always said, an adult applying for naturalisation based on Irish Association is weak and takes more than usual to get approved so should be avoided if possible.

I applied almost last week of january 2016. And I got that same message on March2016. But since april 2016 it was changed to advance stage.
That email means you're still on the second stage of processing, where they check with the revenue, Garda, and all other agencies.
Whats the basis of your application by the way? All the best!
