Just got my email!
For one child though. The other has just turned 18, so I wonder if there’ll be an issue as presumably they need to contact her and send her the documents?

Anyone got a link to the spreadsheet and I’ll update
Doesn't match the spreadsheet on Page 233, the minister gives a much higher (and more promising) figure.....who to believe?!?Apple10 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 14, 2022 2:24 pmHey folks

5000 applications processed in Oct of this year which is pretty incredible!
Fabulous news if the minister is telling the truth. 
The minister keeps on saying there will be a "significant reduction in processing times by the end of the year"...MrsC70 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 14, 2022 3:17 pmDoesn't match the spreadsheet on Page 233, the minister gives a much higher (and more promising) figure.....who to believe?!?Apple10 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 14, 2022 2:24 pmHey folks

I know for a fact that there were 5000+ applications between March and May 2021 as my husband and I were 5001 applications apart, so there is some truth in the spreadsheet for those months.Apple10 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 14, 2022 3:40 pmThe minister keeps on saying there will be a "significant reduction in processing times by the end of the year"...MrsC70 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 14, 2022 3:17 pmDoesn't match the spreadsheet on Page 233, the minister gives a much higher (and more promising) figure.....who to believe?!?Apple10 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 14, 2022 2:24 pmHey folks

I'm not sure I believe that spreadsheet. It just seems too unlikely that each month there is approx 2k applications for each month in 2021. I would have expected a bit more variability in the figures month on month... But what do I know?!
Cool. So based on 5k Oct processing times and that spreadsheet when do you think yours will land? I can't access the spreadsheet atm otherwise I would do the maths myselfMrsC70 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 14, 2022 4:25 pmI know for a fact that there were 5000+ applications between March and May 2021 as my husband and I were 5001 applications apart, so there is some truth in the spreadsheet for those months.Apple10 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 14, 2022 3:40 pmThe minister keeps on saying there will be a "significant reduction in processing times by the end of the year"...MrsC70 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 14, 2022 3:17 pmDoesn't match the spreadsheet on Page 233, the minister gives a much higher (and more promising) figure.....who to believe?!?Apple10 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 14, 2022 2:24 pmHey folks

Our documents were received August 8th 2021.
.. what will happen first - I know that the spreadsheet is authentic based on a FOI request. I think the biggest difference in what the minister is saying compared to the spreadsheet is the word "processed". The spreadsheet is clear that only successfully completed applications are counted while it makes sense that the minister would tout all of the applications processed including those that have no entitlement and those which require more paperwork (which we know based on this forum are many with requests for original documents, new pictures, etc.). I also assume that those take more time as additional documents need to be received and processed and the file reopened. It's possible that the word processed also includes these touches on applications making it possible that one application could be "processed" more than once until it is either approved or denied.MrsC70 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 14, 2022 3:17 pmDoesn't match the spreadsheet on Page 233, the minister gives a much higher (and more promising) figure.....who to believe?!?Apple10 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 14, 2022 2:24 pmHey folks

The 2021 received numbers and the speed of processing stated by the minister (as well as what we are seeing in this forum) I think support that it's very possible we see January 2022 applications processed in the first half of next year which is a very significant improvement from where we were (from 30 months to under 18 months).
Wow Jan 2022 at the beginning of next year!? That is a bold prediction and as a Dec 2021 docs submitted person, that makes me happy.riazzetti wrote: ↑Tue Nov 15, 2022 1:43 pmI know that the spreadsheet is authentic based on a FOI request.

I'm a January 2022 applicant.... that would be absolutely fantastic if true. Part of me finds it hard to believe though.Apple10 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 15, 2022 3:05 pmWow Jan 2022 at the beginning of next year!?

Thanks for confirming where the data came from e.g. FOI request. I am not sceptical thanks to your explanation!
From the OneDrive data, they've been approving ~2500/month in Oct and the first part of Nov.
If they contacted you that means they are dealing with your application now. It wont take another 1-2 years. I bet you hear from them in less than a week.MurrayTA wrote: ↑Tue Nov 15, 2022 7:23 pmHi All,
Looking for some advice from past applicants.
Application submitted: 15.11.2020
Application received: 14.12.2020
I received a response yesterday 14.11.2022 from DFA Foreign Births Registration Team. Unfortunately, there were a few details missing from my original application. I have now rectified these and sent the required remaining details to them 1st class by post.
Just wondering - has anyone else had their application held up by missing details and if so; how much longer did it hold up the process?
I am praying this won't add another 1-2 years on to the already excruciating wait.
Any response appreciated.
