Hi i got approval letter on 10 th january but issued 8th january. I have 10 days to submit all required document. 10 days means 10 working days or i have to send all document by 18th january ?

If the letter says 10 days, it is 10 days. It would clearly say 'working days' if it is the case.

Hi SouthAfricanNomad

Can you please let me know when did you send your application? I've sent mine last August. The latest letter received was that my application have been moved to stage 2. Since then, no communication. Also, can you let me know their email address for a follow up? Thank you!!!

I sent mine in Feb. And pretty straight forward. People who applied in May are starting to get approvals. I’m at my wits end now. I’m thinking of the possible worst case scenarios at this point. Team 23 seems a long way from 1-3 which seem like the decision teams.

Hey guys,
Just wondering if anyone have heard about processing team called CMU2, that’s the team I received my approval from ?

Hi all
I just wondering , when someone get a letter informing that 950e has to be paid and 2 passport photo have to be sent along with gnib card, does it mean an approval letter or what sort of letter is that?
Thanks

This letter is an intention to approve your application. Technically you are not approved until you are sworn in.

After having paid this fee, is there a possibility not to be approved?

That letter is an offer to grant (Aprove) your application for naturalisation certificates. You accept that offer when you send out the draft payment, along with your IRP card and photos. On the letter, your next letter to be received from them would an invitation to attend the citizenship ceremony and you are Irish. HUREY !!!

Hi guys

If anyone sent 950 euro, gnib etc by an post then
What is the last delivery point showing in an post tracking?

niksire · Post by **niksire** » Tue Jan 14, 2020 8:27 am

Hi apuser

I dont remember the exact thing but it was some drop off location in post office, where they then go and collect all the letters themselves.

it was something like DSU. so dont worry if it dont says the department location in the tracking.

And congratulations for all who receiving the invites, and Good luck to all who are waiting.

Thanks niksire
As this address does not have PO box in address so I thought I will be delivered to their address instead to DSU

You are right it is indeed some DSU delivered point.
Thank you and congratulations to everyone here

Next Ceremony Date published now

The next citizenship ceremonies will take place on Monday 2nd and Tuesday 3rd March 2020 at the Killarney Convention Centre (Gleneagle Hotel), Muckross Road, Killarney, Co Kerry.
At the ceremony candidates will take an oath of fidelity to the nation, receive their certificate of naturalisation and thereby become Irish citizens.

Given the volume of e-mails we are currently experiencing Citizenship Division will not be in a position to respond to e-mail queries about an invitation to the next ceremony.

Invitations will issue in the coming weeks. Please do not contact us in this regard as we are not in a position to confirm invitation at this stage.

Citizenship ceremonies take place at the Killarney Convention Centre (Gleneagle Hotel), Muckross Road, Killarney, Co Kerry.

Hi there,

Can anyone confirm if the approval letters are still being sent. The last approval letter according to the thread seems to be 10th Jan. Did anyone receive post 10th Jan 2020? There are 2 ceremonies in March announced today so do you all think we will receive more approvals later in the month?

Regards
Rks

I submitted my application in Sept 2018 and just got my letter January 9th in the post asking for the €950 and passport photos. My husband applied at the same time as me but moved through the process much faster and was approved before the ceremonies were suspended. He became a citizen in the December ceremony.

I'm hoping this means I'll be in the March ceremonies but I'm not that optimistic given the huge back log of people who paid their fees long ago.
What do you think?

I wouldnt give up on the idea that u wont get to the next ceremony considering they are having them over the 2 days and normally they would have 2 ceremonies per day it should clear a good bit of the backlog!!A lady in inis told me that because of the delay I wouldnt be considered for the december ceremony but there would be a strong possibility of me attending the next 1!! So I'm hopeful
Good luck I hope you get your invitation anything over a year is annoying!!

Salixruns · Post by **Salixruns** » Tue Jan 14, 2020 4:24 pm

Thank you for your reply! I'll be optimistic and hope I get in. Good luck to you as well!
It's been a long road!
