the same can be said about any other external reports. I found out about the reference when she texted me saying that they got in touch with her.nojoyfrominis wrote: ↑Thu Apr 29, 2021 9:36 pmReference letter is not included as it is written by someone else.

Then at least any missed FOI request's date deserved a notice of extention before or on the initial expected date of a decision. Today is the final expected date for a decision but I have received nothing so far.polarcub wrote: ↑Thu Apr 29, 2021 9:06 pmThey have a lot of FOIs to deal with. They quote everyone with a date, and then miss the date. It's routine.
Just follow up by email, so your FOI doesn't fall through the cracks. Expect to wait another 4 weeks to get it.

"A final decision on your request would normally be sent to you within 4 weeks, where a
week is defined as 5 working days excluding the weekend and public holidays. This
means that you can expect a decision letter to issue not later than 27/04/2021".
But today is 27/04/2021 and I am yet to get a decision on FOI. What could have happened?
I have acknowledgement letters from them but no reference number and receipts of payment. . I also have email replies from them. All are about my minors applications.pluto1992 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 30, 2021 8:52 pm"the record concerned does not exist or cannot be found after all reasonable steps to ascertain its whereabouts have been taken"
You should first rule out the first part of that statement that is the record concerned does not exist. Maybe if you have an email where you inquired about the status of minor's application and they would have responded saying something like continue to be processed or advanced stage of processing ... maybe use that email response as an evidence to appeal and tell them that the record does exist.
When did you and your wife apply?Dawntodusk wrote: ↑Sat May 08, 2021 3:21 amAm just wondering that me and my wife applied for citizenship same time. We always received every single letter together. But she received her approval on 4th may letter dated 29 april. And am still waiting for it. What could be the possibility delay in my case?
Yes, it's a simple 2 page form they sent me in the post. It just asked for a few details and my signature. I applied April 2019.SamH wrote: ↑Mon May 17, 2021 2:46 pm@fuzzbizz
I see from the "2019 Citizenship Applications Timelines Only" thread that you've included "Garda e-vetting form: 17/05/2021" on your timeline.
Is this a form you received? I was under the impression that this is a new step that would only apply to more recent applications.
Would be very interesting to get your thoughts on this.
Cheers,

The documents have a file with title "Request for Garda Vetting"; the file contains my name, addresses in Ireland, GNIB number etc. It is dated December 2019. But I don't see any "response" from Garda, e.g. saying that there are no convictions etc. Does it mean the vetting request is still not finished? Or is ok not to have the "response" file from Garda (i.e. there shouldn't be one)?

May I ask how do you understand the garda vetting is done? In my case, I see a document with the title "Request for Garda Vetting". Does it mean the vetting is done? Or to be considered done, there should be an additional document that says the vetting is done, or something similar?polarcub wrote: ↑Wed May 19, 2021 7:59 pmI applied in the same time frame, and with my FOI there was one garda vetting document done. Some people in this forum have had a few garda vetting done (1 per year).
It could very well be that they haven't done the garda vetting for you yet. Otherwise it would show. The only other possible explanation is that they did one, but chose to omit; however they can only omit things like investigations, and I can't see how a standard Garda vetting would be that.
You are at the 2 year waiting mark, you have a lot of leverage to push your application along - have you sent any warning letters via a lawyer yet?

Hopefully, this check will be done quickly and my application will move.happygolucky1 wrote: ↑Mon May 24, 2021 11:56 amCan any one tell if the response to FOI is received electronically on email or via the normal post ? Thanks in advance !!

Applied On: 14/05/2018
Application received On: 17/05/2018
Acknowledgement : 28/05/2018 (received passport back and receipt of payment with a letter stating that my application advanced to 2nd stage. Since then have not heard any thing from citizenship team and they never asked about any documentations.)
I had asked them about status of my application through emailS but same copy and paste reply that Your application is being prepared for submission but not submitted yet minister.
Warning Letter: On 10th May'21, I asked my solicitor to send them warning letter to start JR if they don't give a decision on my application.
Citizenship team letter sent a letter on 24th May'2021 promising that '' WE will issue decision on your application in 12 weeks and don't go for JR.''
