@nad2107
Don't go for judicial review, (expensive and frustrating delays) just send them a threatening letter through your solicitor that you are going to initiate judicial review proceedings if you don't give me a definite answer in X amount of time. I am pretty much sure you will receive something positive because they are trying to clear the applications pending for longer times. (since the new government took charge).

wish you very best of luck.

Did you get any update in the ten weeks

FOI it’s nothing important the best way when you wait for over 2 years or more you should ask for JR go to high court to get a quick decision if you know that you might be clear in this country you better open a case through the solicitor

If more people go for JR like you did, I am sure this will give some pressure to the department. Like you said, if someone has been waiting for like 3 or 4 years really should go down this route.

You will get decision in time if you go to JR and also you have more chance to get a positive decision through the JR then if you do it alone , they won’t care too much but if you push them they can’t give you a negative decision, becouse they should have a strong reason if they give you a negative decision otherwise you can also sent them to court to get your right decision even if you get a negative decision from them it’s the court who will be looking agein your case and see what decision you deserve, so in most of this cases who’s been waiting over 2 years the best chance it’s go to high court and ask for your rights 🤞

Paddy1996 is JR preacher on the forum :)

I partially agree, that it can be an option after you waiting for 2.5 years or more. I would still start with FOI to see what application holds for you and I guess you can use results in court as well.

Totally agree, I will do FOI like at around 1.5 years, then wait up to 2 years, go JR.

I'm with Paddy on the court process. I wish I knew about it before - the process leading up to taking it to court takes time (get an FOI, Find a lawyer, lawyer sends threatening letters to INIS, Set court date, wait for a decision etc).

Why do you advise people to go via JR after waiting for 2+ years? why minimum 2 and not sooner (say 1 year or 1.5 year)

Becouse the solicitor won’t go to high court unless 2 years have been passed already, 1 years and 6 months it’s nothing too wait for the decision

Wife finally received approval letter today with declaration form by post and 950 needs to be paid online. Applied July 2017.
We requested foi earlier this year. She is Indian but but was written Pakistani in one page. Emailed citizenship about error. Received an email last week that file is updated with correct nationality.
Received the letter today

Did your approval letter have a 'Citizenship Group Number' ?- I think this is required in order to submit payment online.

I think Taki there might be a problem with the new online system (I could be wrong though). Also, were you able to successfully upload any of the required documentation? It seems like it does not successfully do this? (or is the a file size issue?)
