Same happen to me as well, I think they did not open the line yesterday because I was trying continuously from 10 till 12 but no success for more than 250 times. I could be wrong if someone else has went through. However, don't expect to get any approval at this time. Mostly, it need another 2 months if they have new ceremony announced.

Can you please send me privately the name of the solicitor and how much did he charge you?
Thank you

I made a number of calls but to no avail. I even went to my local TD three times but same standard copy/paste response was sent to TD as well.
My solicitor sent a letter in Oct 2017 and I got response after 3 weeks that my application is being prepared for submission to minister. After 5 weeks in Dec 2017 my solicitor sent another letter asking for an update but no response. He sent a reminder and got response on 12 Jan that my application has been submitted to minister and as they get a response they will let us know.
So if someone has been waiting for more than 1 year and they still getting standard copy/paste responses, in my opinion they should seek legal advice. I know it will cost you money but at least you will get a proper response from citizenship.
I hope it will help someone.
Obviously, there is a cohort of applications that seem to be treated differently and this could be due to their original country or something else. I was expecting that the delay will only be during the second stage when they run the check on people but I then discovered that they also delaying the application even after completing all the checks. Since Feb 2018, I have been told that my application is at final stage which I assume means that they got all the reports they asked for but till now the application didn't reach a conclusion. They should tell people that the process might take so long and not saying that it will take 6 months and then takes more than 2 years.nad2107 wrote: ↑Fri May 04, 2018 9:01 amYou are lucky you even got a reply. We have sent numerous emails and solicitor written two letters and no reply at all.
I am so frustrated have no idea what to do. Its heartbreaking to see that people who applied in January this year have already had approval and yet again people like us have been waiting since april last year.
I feel they are more reluctant to issue naturalisation to people of certain countries, it really is frustrating.
Have no idea what else we can do to speed up process. If anyone has any suggestions feel free to let us know.
Thanks

If that is what’s holding your decision, you shouldn’t hesitate in sending one off to them so they can submit your file to the minister.jollymolly1 wrote: ↑Tue May 08, 2018 9:29 amHi all i applied in May 2016 on the base of been married to Irish national since June 2011. recently i received a letter from Team 4 stating that if i can submit Police Criminal Refrence Check from PSNI so they can submit my file to minister. But i had already given them that when i applied in 2016. Shall i send another one or dont.
I was told the same mid April, just last week I received my approval. I reckon your decision is on its way.Syjem wrote: ↑Tue May 08, 2018 9:31 amHi Folks,
Just rang them now and I have been told that it is final stage and should here from them maximum end of this month. I told them that I have been told the same 6 weeks ago, the lady assured me that the application is at final stage I should hear from them very shortly and if not to call them again.
Don't know what to say, based on their promise 8 weeks I have cancelled my trip to another country hoping that I will get my decision and if approved I will attend the ceremony this month.
I have emailed them a week ago and no response to date.
Congrats on your approval.Rosay36 wrote: ↑Tue May 08, 2018 9:58 amI was told the same mid April, just last week I received my approval. I reckon your decision is on its way.Syjem wrote: ↑Tue May 08, 2018 9:31 amHi Folks,

They have already rolled some approvals last week which I think for the next ceremony. Will see how it goes for us. did she tell you about the date for the next ceremony?
Code: Select all
INIS told me your application have been prepared for submission to Minister.
Can anybody have any idea, how long they will take to finalize my application from this stage.No one can predict how long it might take, it is completely strange system. Since last Feb I have been told that the application is in final stage but till now I didn't receive anything from them. I have been told many times via the phone that I will hear from them in few weeks and I am still waiting. So in summary they can hold on your application even if they have received all the reports and you application is prepared to be submitted to the minister.
