Thanks IQU for the reply. Cost is not a matter, as it would be a difference of only few Euros. In my openion bank draft would be little time consuming as they would send the bank draft to their bank to cash & once the payment hit their account than they will send you acknowledgement letter.
On the other hand postal order could be a quick service in order to cash it. Am i right ?
Cheers,
Zafar |

Zafar[/quote] i dont think postal order and bank draft make any difference. they are almost same.bank draft is much better if your sending your money to any international country where postal order can take longer process there |

Hi
After applying citizenship application on last 18 July'12 i got reference number from Deptt within one month, although few days ago i lost my part time job, but still my GNIB is valid until May 2014. However with a view of loosing my job, does it affect my application in any way? I am just worrying. I have never availed/ get social welfare benefit.
Please somebody advise.
Thanks |

Mate, keep away from social welfare, although u have lost ur job and it would be difficult for you to survive. The backlog is near to end & your application would be dealt hopefully until mid of next year.
At present the DOJ is not carrying checks like social welfare but once the backlog is finished they will carry out all the checks and you might end up in trouble for claiming the social welfare.
At the end they will also ask you at some stage to provide them a letter from ur employer / recent payslips & a recent bank statement, so try to get a job ASAP. Good luck |

Hi evenif i lost my job i am not looking for claiming social welfare benefits in anyway as my wives salary is still quite enough to support my family.
So if iam not claiming any social welfare benefits will it be a problem for me in futre? I have already given all supporting documents including my pay slip also of my wives pay slips just for extra safety.
However as i lost my job i may not able to provide payslip again. Will DOJ ask for the same again? If it is so what should i do then? Please advise |

If it so, what about those who with stamp-3. As they wont be able to provide Payslips or bank statements, how they can apply then? I think somebody here at this forum got approved those who are having Stamp-3. They might be provided their spouse's bank statement, payslips, if i am not wrong.
It is getting confusing.
About finding a new job, i know, but it is very difficult to get one as you know
Hope to get output from others those who might be in similar situation |

Here is an update for my naturalization application:-
Application sent : 18/07/12
Acknowledgement letter recd : 17/08/12
Second letter recd (from Initial processing team) : 20/09/12
It is very surprised me to get letter from Initial processing team informing that my application was successfull at Initial prcoessing stage and now it is moved to 2nd stage and after completing it, my application will be forwarded to Ministers decision for final approval. It is saying six months period, but i hope to at December ceremony, if the 2nd stage finish fast like in 1st stage.
Hope for better.
thanks |

| i am guessing that the second stage is when they wait for garda report, which can take forever sometimes. |

|
|
| I sent my application for naturalisation recently and some time after that I had an accident with another car and the Garda was asked to come when it happened. I have paid to repair the other car damage. The Garda took my details and said that it was just to record it in their book. I was wondering whether this collision will affect my application? |

man my advise to you would be to talk to your solicitor again, because they are actually not sure what to do when it comes to immigration law. I was in the same boat as you, i had a gap of a few weeks in my stamp in the last year prior to my application, because my embassy could not provide new passports and mine had expired. I went to the GNIB and they told me it was alright and signed me on their computer system. However even after explaining all of this in a letter with my initial application, i was rejected, or at least my application was after 10 months of waiting, because of the break in my stamps. so i would advise that you check again with you solicitors and ensure that somehow you are not kept waiting to hear bad news later. just my opinion. |
