they’re loads of people including myself who applied in 2017 and was sworn in yesterday in Killarney.
Good luck to your application!

it’s helpful if you could clarify the basis of your application as well

by far applying as a spouse of irish citizen is the fastest route. but on the flip side, if her personal circumstances change half way through the process (for instance you’re no longer together, which i don’t hope of course) then it will have a massive impact on her application.

I doubt this will lead to anything substantial as you don’t know why your application is being held up. Claiming that INIS is discriminating against applications from certain nationalities is also well off the mark (I am not defending them nor speaking on their behalf of course). If you look at the ...

it depends on so many things but in a nutshell there’s no correct answer to that question. The possible factors are: the basis of your application, your immigration history, anything that will show that you’re not of good character such as court appearance, fine, traffic offence and so on. the quick...

that's not the 2nd stage. your application is still at the first step by the look of it.
in the second stage, they clearly stated that your application has been initially processed and is being moved to the second stage of the processing.

Brilliant response as usual @max307, a friend of mine is in a slightly similar situation as he has been working here for the past 7 years so is clearly eligible for the citizenship. But now he wants to move to France permanently and wanted to know if he could apply and move abroad. So, essentially ...

Application Based On: 5Year Residence non EU, stamp 1 and 4, completed the application myself Applied On: 17/09/2017 Application received On: 18/09/2017 First Letter : 04/10/2017 Second Letter: 26/04/2018 Second Stage Letter: 23/08/2018 Letter asking for an updated GNIB: 12/09/2018 Awaiting On Appr...

Finally got my invitation for the November 26 ceremony today. Good luck to all waiting especially @Mal111, @paddy_leprechaun, @rockyguy, @iceice304, @syjem, and others.

That email tells me that your application hasn't passed the second stage yet I'm afraid. Given your timeline, if I were you I should be worry. You still have some time to go by the look of it. Although they're some straightforward cases of course. All you can do now is just to wait as contacting th...

If you read here http://inis.gov.ie/en/INIS/Pages/WP16000022 in section 7, it's clearly stated that if you need your passport that quickly, you should apply when you come back from your trip. Applying now and requesting your passport straight away is clearly not advisable at all.

I don't think its just romanian to indian, or other eu to india, pakistani, bangladeshi. I think its all south east asain countries. Me and my husband are both of asian origin and I am a british passport holder. We applied in april 2017 and not hear anything since, just one letter which was sent ba...

By Indian origin, I meant Indian/Pakistani/Bangladeshi married to Latvian/Lithuanian/Romanian, as these cases have been on news lately. Also, it appears that after brexit people mainly from the Indian subcontinent (who are now British National) are using Ireland as a backdoor by exercising EU treat...

This means that your application hasn't passed the second stage yet. So they're still performing checks and only after that, the will send you a letter clearly informing you that your application has now been initially assessed. This is the second stage letter and usually at that stage, they submit...

can you confirm when did you sent your bank draft? Draft sent on 2nd Nov and delivered 5th Nov As I said earlier, they're still issuing invitations so there's still some time. I'm hoping to get mine next week given that I sent the draft on Oct 30. People who sent on Oct 24 got theirs so I guess the...

Thank you for your email. It is recognised that all applicants for citizenship would wish to have a decision on their application without delay. Your application for naturalisation continues to be processed in the normal way with a view to establishing whether the applicant meets the statutory cond...

Basis on application :NON EU (Stamp1 & 4) Applied on 22nd april 2018 Second letter recived on 16th May 2018 stating that your application is moved to second stage. Since then no communication received, when I enquired status I got above responses in 1 month time. Thanks CS wow that’s very quick tha...

I think they are still sending approvals and invitations They’re still sending invitations for the November 26 ceremony that’s for sure but I’m not sure about approvals. When I called them yesterday, they told me that they’re still issuing invitations so I guess in the course of next week they’ll b...

Hi, I got following email response from citizenship center. 28th Sept 2018: Please note that your application for naturalisation is being prepared for submission to the Minister. If further documentation and/or clarification of any matter related to your application is required from you, we will wr...

still waiting for my invitation though. hopefully it'll come out asap

It turns out he didn't declare any of his Uk immigration in the application because they didn't ask specifically for it, so that was definitely a big mistake. He was definitely not hiding anything from the Irish authorities it just didn't occur to him to add any UK immigration documentation to our ...

The best option is to seek legal advice. I applied in Aug 2016 and my application was not moving a bit ever since. I met a solicitor and after his letters to citizenship my application has been submitted to minister and now I am waiting for decision. I made a number of calls but to no avail. I even...

the big question here is whether you've disclosed your previous immigration history to the Irish authorities. If you had an issue in the UK then will be aware of that. Any attempt to hide anything will come back to haunt you. As I said in other threads, when applying for any Irish visa, it is always...
