Hi Guys,

It would be good to have separate thread to discuss about minor naturalisation application.
Please share if someone recently got an approval or has applied for naturalisation.
I have applied for my child on 1/09/2011 and application has reached to INIS office:) Waiting for acknowledgement letter.
Has anybody applied last month for minor naturalisation?

cheers

I phoned them yesterday to find out why I am not getting any acknowledgement that they got the application and they said that they have a large mail backlog.

She checked and the application was not even in the system yet and I mailed it out 4 weeks ago. Worried now that it may have gone missing....

Anyway, I asked how long a minor's application will take and she said about 1 year ?!? Thought normal apps was down to 6 months and surely a minor's should be processed even quicker?

it just shows what it being prioritised at the moment. it's the processing of applications, therefore all staff resources are probably drawn to the processing, leaving new applications, minors and certs being left behind...

hi guys,

today i got acknowledgement letter from INIS for minor naturalisation application. I had sent docs on 1/09/2011. There is no mention of timeline for the approval of minor application in the letter. Does anybody know how long it takes to get approval for minor?

cheers

I rang INIS today asking about my son's reference numebr as I applied fro him 3 weeks ago and the lady on the other side tole that they have 4 weeks backlog regarding the post, that's only an information for you all.
and when I asked her when it is expected to get a reply fom them she told me without a reference numebr she can't tell anything but she said that they did not open the files of 2011 (which is a lie, there are many people her in the forum of 2011 and they got approval)
when I told her that is also for minors she said they started checking application from early 2011.
I think what is she saying is from the top of her head.

Today I rang the INIS regarding my son's application and they told me that the processing time would take something in between 6 months to 12 months.

Hi

I have applied for child’s naturalisation application last month. I got the acknowledgement today (almost 7 weeks).

I gather from previous posts that it will take 6 – 12 months for processing the applications.

Can somebody who’s child’s application has been approved recently, share their experiences please. Is it one of the parents that need to go for the ceremony now?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
