Long Term Residency (5years Visa)

I have been in Ireland since 2011 and submitted my application for long term residency (5tears visa).

Can someone explain how long the process take, or how long it took to receive acknowledgement letter for your application.

I submitted my application on the 7th January and haven’t heard anything yet.

I submitted my long term residency application on 6 Dec, as I don't know how long it would take to process my naturalisation application.

I got an acknowledgement letter last week. The letter explicitly mentioned that it is just an acknowledgement and they have not reviewed the application yet.

Thanks, hopefully i receive my acknowledgment letter soon
