It's really hard to know how many were approved and paid the €950 before November and didn't get a place in December's ceremony. Makes it really hard to guess if those of us who got a letter in January have any hope of March's ceremony or not. There's such a massive back log. And zero transparency as to where they are in clearing it up.Coder2020 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 22, 2020 2:23 pmI'm anxiously waiting for my invitation. I got the letter with the proposal to grant on Jan 8, sent the payment the following day and it was received by them on Jan 10th. Since then I've been checking the post everyday. You guys approved since November damn! I hope I don't have to wait months after getting so far
Of course I may be wrong BUT I don't believe the backlog is massive to the point of people who got their approval early January not being invited, since there's 2 days scheduled for ceremonies.Salixruns wrote: ↑Wed Jan 22, 2020 3:36 pmIt's really hard to know how many were approved and paid the €950 before November and didn't get a place in December's ceremony.

I wish they would post all the ceremony dates planned as it would help facilitate travel etc knowing not to be away those particular dates just in case.
I hope you are right. At one point when everything was suspended the media were saying around 20000 people in the back log to get processed. At 2000 a ceremony that's going to take a while to queue. However it was unclear if that counted those that had only just submitted their applications or just the ones in the middle/final stages.goodman85 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 22, 2020 3:55 pmOf course I may be wrong BUT I don't believe the backlog is massive to the point of people who got their approval early January not being invited, since there's 2 days scheduled for ceremonies.Salixruns wrote: ↑Wed Jan 22, 2020 3:36 pmIt's really hard to know how many were approved and paid the €950 before November and didn't get a place in December's ceremony.

Yes, I understand where you're coming from - the thing is the media usually exaggerate on those numbers, I believe 20000 people back log to get processed, they probably mean 20000 applications to be processed, pending decisions, etc.Salixruns wrote: ↑Wed Jan 22, 2020 4:02 pmI hope you are right.

Hey Lifeisgood2020, u not alone, there is a bunch of people in the same situation (judging by timeline threads), and I'm one of them. I even got an approval letter on the same day as u.Lifeisgood2020 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 22, 2020 10:37 amIs there anybody received the invitation.

I rang the same number you rang , but just kept ringing until they answered, tbh i was lucky today to go through, sometimes i will be calling for the whole 2 hours and no one answering, but at least now we know that the invitations will be issued in 2 weeks timeDame123 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 23, 2020 1:58 pmOn what number did you ring.

Hi
I applied for my citizenship on12 March 2019 and back my passport on 21st October,second letter 22 October and there is no approval letterwho applied same date and got approval letter please?
Congratulations, at last you a big relief, hppy for you, did you fasten it in any way? E.g solicitor, or FOI, calling?
Hi Kamione ,show your approval letter to immigration officer.he/she will give a 3 month extended stamp on your passport for free but will not apply for new GNIB card . Send the photocopy of passport page with new stamp along with your current GNIB card .PLS.also write a cover letter . This would be enough . I did same . Best of luck.Kamione wrote: ↑Fri Jan 24, 2020 6:47 pmHi Everybody ,
Need Urgent advise please,
Applied in Mid 2017
Got letter to submit
€950
GNIB Card
My GNIB expires on 16 Feb?
The earliest ceremony would be in March!
What should I do? should I send the card as per the letter and they will give me any letter of acknowledgement or what? Do I have to apply for renewal before sending the GNIB card, it would be 2,weeks before it expires which would be early Feb and by that time the 10 days mentioned in the letter will be over?
Any suggestion or previous experience please!
Thanks
