Application on basis of civil partner of Irish citizen(Female)
Applied on 22/04/2015 and received acknowledement on 26/05/2015.
Received Letter asking documents 23/06/2015.
Asking for more Documents Letter received on 14/08/2015.
First stage complete and now in Second stage received letter on 04/09/2015.
Approval arrived on 02/11/2015.
They need three things from me.
1- Euro 950
2- GNIB card
3- Travel Document(which is not applicable in my case)
I'm wondering does anyone else get same kind of letter asking you to send above three things to below funny address without passport size photographs:
F.S.P SA, Citizenship Section, Rosanna Road Tipperary Town.
Can someone shed light on my issue.
Thanks.

Everyone received the same letter , as yours. its just copy paste you ca say, except candidate details. So don't worry just send them your GNIB card and fee. Travel Documents is for those who had Refugee Status in country. As you already send pictures along with your Citizenship application so no need to send again. Its only for those cases which took longer then normal processing period of application.

Ceremonies are held in batches and at allotted times (slots) on the invites and the hall is big enough to accommodate all invited at their different allotted times (slots). I believe you should be in and invited for the coming ceremony since you made the payment. of the fee in good time.
In the meantime, we hope to get news of more approvals in this new week to be followed by invitations in the next 1 - 2 weeks.

You will have to take it easy and look after yourself in all these. What will be will be and it will happen for you when it will happen. As it is, it's out of your control and it's left to the INIS to make a decision on your application according to their own workings. No one here is equipped to suggest to you anything otherwise but only to encourage you to keep your faith and hopes alive. Keep a positive attitude.

Thanks@kingdomman

Hi KindomMan.......I have received week ago temporary stamp 4 for 6 months on behalf of Retention of residency rights and sent a copy of my temporary stamp 4 to Citizenship already and received an acknowledgement letter in relation to my temporary stamp 4 from further processing team. I do not know when i will be able to get my approval.............but someone told me that once you will be approve your permanent stamp 4 for 10 years then you will be able to get your citizenship application approved and they will not approve you when you are on temporary stamp 4....................I have no clue about that, if you know any information regarding about above query, Please kindly share.

I must admit here that I have very limited knowledge on this but the fact remains that you've already applied for your citizenship and you're most likely to be successful with the application following the trend with others who took same route to getting citizenship like you have done. Stay positive and good luck in your remaining wait for a decision on your application.

for you to get an acknowledgement from the Further Processing Team, it indicates that your application continues to be processed and making progress and therefore you may likely be approved in couple of months.

Hi guys,

Is there possibly going to be another batch of approvals in the next coming days? What's the probability of this happening?

Thanks

It's anticipated that there'll be new batches of approvals rolling out in the posts this week till next week before invitations are being sent out as well. Hopefully so......

Thanks KingdomMan,
I seriously hope that's the case...
The last batches of approvals were endorsed on 22(Thur) 27(Tue) of October.
INIS respond to phone calls only on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
I guess this indicates that INIS treat citizenship applications only on these two days. Which means we should forget about December Ceremony if no approvals are issued this week as there would be no time to get invitation letter?

Hi there,
Is there anyone who has applied in around August / Sep 2015

Application Basis: Stamp4 Green Card
Application Date: 02.09.2015
1st Acknowledgment Date:17.09.2015
2nd Stage Letter: 03.11.2015

Does anyone know how long one has to wait after 2nd Stage letter, also my visa is due for renewal in by 7th January 2015? Let suppose if I don't get approval by then, I need to get my visa renewed in which case DO I NEED SEND THE COPY OF UPDATED VISA TO INIS? Whats the normal waiting time for approval after 2nd stage letter?

Thanks,

Jani

approximately 1-3 months of wait after the 2nd Stage letter, Yes, need to send the copy of the updated visa, this will certainly help in terms of the processing time!

Look at the timeline thread for examples of other people's approvals. It seems you can rely on applications taking almost exactly 6 months from the original application date if there are no unusual attributes. So an application done in September will probably be approved in March or early April next year.

Good morning guys

Today I received my citizenship approval letter (dated 12th November).
I'm very happy that the waiting is over and their a good chance to catch up with December's ceremony.
I hope all of you receive your approval letter today.
I would like to thank you all and especially KingdomMan for the support.

I will share my timeline again below:
