Just updated the 2020 timelines thread with my approval which arrived yesterday (application date was Nov 2020).
Wanted to say good luck to everyone that's still waiting, hopefully all pending 2020 approvals will be coming through in the next few weeks.

My first vetting was done last year June 2021. Then they sent me another evetting in January 2022 that the minister requested an upto date vetting and disclosure was viewed in February 2022 until now no approval. Working full time. Am confused

If I were you I would do an FOI request to Garda for all the records they might have on you. It is pretty straightforward and they revert to you in less than one month.

Hey, I would love to know how this is done please .

My vetting was done in late feb and viewed 3weeks later. I haven’t heard a word from Inis since then . Almost 7months later.

Send an email to citizenshipinfo@justice.ie asking for the status of your application. I also waited 4 months after the evetting till I sent the email and 1 week later I got the approval. Also after paying I waited for 8 weeks for the payment to be processed after those 8 weeks I sent another email that day it was processed.
I feel sometimes emailing them works, we should not just wait because it seems they forget some archives.
Good luck!

Hi Miranda,

That's amazing that both emails you sent worked because it doesn't seem to be the case generally. You got the magic touch! Could you share with us what you told them? Very happy you finally got your approval, congrats!

I have a question regarding approval letter and fee. We received my and my wife's approval letters yesterday. My letter required me to post photos and IRP copy to DOJ but doesnt mention anything about fee. My wife's letter require uploading photo, IRP online as well as payment of fee online. Both letters state that certificates will be given at ceremony. I want to check how other people are getting approval letters and how should I pay the fee? I have emailed DOJ but I dont know when will I get a response so thought someone may have dealth with similar situation and may be able to guide me. Thanks in advance.

Congrats to both of you! I personally never heard of a different form of payment other than online. I would suggest creating an individual post for this topic in order to get more visibility.

If anybody is still left waiting for approval here, I suggest you send an email to the citizenship division. It looks like now they are quicker in replying. Don't forget to mention your ID number on email subject. What helped in my case was being straight to the point, mentioning date of application and how long ago the evetting result was viewed by the citizenship division. Good luck

Just so we have a PDF blank copy of an e-Vetting request here and people can find it if needed (not sure how long they'll use the current version, but it hasn't been changed in a year):

I had the same issue and I contacted them on Twitter and this was their response:

Hi there, thank you for getting in touch! According to our system this item was delivered this morning. As this item was sent to an address that would receive a number of registered mail items every day each item cannot be signed for and scanned individually on delivery. The items requiring signatures are added to a delivery bill that is signed for on delivery. This delivery bill with the signature will be uploaded and available on our site in the coming days.

So I wouldn't worry but you can contact them on social media if you're too concerned. Also this is the form in case you need it:

thanks again @sisenor!

I received a letter today from CMU 5 after 2 times vetting within a year see below:

your application continues to be processed your file will be submitted to the minister once processing is completed. If further documentation or clarification is needed this office will be in touch otherwise you will receive a decision soon. Cmu 5

I use to be in cmu 6 and I thought that was the last stage processing. Am really confused of repeatatations. Anyone in the same class with me. Are they going to ask for another vetting for the 3rd time?
