Did you get one?
Seems much earlier than I would expect? I would have thought mid Feb? My husband got 10 days notice for the December ceremony.
Hello,
I have not got one as of yet.
My application is pending since early 2017 and from their last correspondence its in a advanced stage but who knows! :)

Oh wow, that's even longer than me. I thought waiting from Sept 2018 was pretty long. Fingers crossed for you that this is your day to get the letter!

What is the difference between advance stage and prepared for submission to minister ?

advanced stage means when they complete their all investigation and sign off for next stage which is submission to minister to put the final stamp

Thanks ,

it was bit confusing because some have received "being prepared for submission to the minister" and some have received "advance stage". May be it is the same but put different way :)

Did anybody get invitation letter for the 2,3 March 2020 ceremonies? Not the letter asking to pay money. The actual invitation for ceremony I mean.

Can you please post a more accurate timeline in the 2017 timeline thread? There has been previous discussion about time to process applications from Pakistani nationals (I'm assuming your flag is accurate).

2019 / 2018 / 2017 / 2016

Not to my knowledge. I’m still waiting on mine, hoping it would come back soon. Was told on the phone in early Dec ‘19 that I should make it to the ceremony in March (she mentioned they were trying to clear the massive backlog, mentioning it would be in March even before the ‘Spring’ bit was announced) as they were only waiting on my Garda clearance.
Rang 91 times today to no avail! Couldn’t get through last Thurs either. :(
I note that people who applied in July ‘19 are approved and its frustrating when I applied in June ‘19.. cannot even begin to imagine how everyone who applied before me esp the ones in ‘16/‘17 must feel!

..starting to think my nickname ‘Bealatine’ which is a Celtic festival on the 1st of May might actually be a pseudo-prophecy of sorts, lol.

Is there anybody received the invitation. I have already got my approval 19/11 but they didn't invite me last December. It was fully booked. Is there anybody here in the same boat.
