Based on the March 2 ceremony arrival time of 1230 are we thinking there will just be one per day not two like in December? The afternoon ceremony started later in December with arrival time of 13:15. And there was one in the morning before but I cannot remember the start time. It was bedlam in the car park before and after too.
Curious what everyone thinks. Could it be just one ceremony each of the days?
The letter that I received yesterday is for March 2 but 10am is my arrival time. Does it mean that there will be ceremony in the morning?
Seems like there will be a 10am ceremony and 12:30am ceremony on March 2nd given what people have posted here. Ceremonies are only supposed to be 1hr 45 minutes including registration so definitely possible for 2 in a day based on that.

Has anyone been invited to a ceremony and then not been able to attend? There's an option to email them on the invite but it says it will cause lengthy delays in getting a new ceremony date. I'm curious if that means next ceremony or like bottom of the pile waiting until next year kind of delay?

I have got my invitation yesterday. 2nd of March at 12:30.
I have received my approval last November but they didn't invite me last December because it was fully booked. I think they have only sent for 2nd of March ceremony. Best of luck for you all.

Yes u can be late, even few hours no problem they will hold every one for u.
Also dont forget to ask them to hold parking spot. They will put vip reserved sign.

It will be hectic enough as it is with thousands of people going thru the same process. You should be planing to arrive early esp since your ceremony is the first of the day.

Good evening/ Night

Wed 12 Feb 22:24

Not invite received fir me

My energy is going down....

Disappointed...applied in early 2017... long time awaiting ...

It will come eventually.... but the torture of waiting and apparently randomly picking and choosing , no online progress and explanation.

“Every case is different” but there should be a reason for it to be different and should be dealt with guidelines which should be visible and trackable

If you are right, it would be 1 ceremony per day, cause in December it was madness.
My wife was over there for ceremony at 13.15pm.
And before 13.15pm it was early Ceremony at 11.00am.
So, if they want to give 8000 people Irish
CitizenShip Naturalization Certificate it would be 2 Ceremonies per day, and totally 4 Ceremonies per 2 days, 2nd and 3rd of March.
If it is not.
So, 1 ceremony per day and 2 ceremonies per 2 days.
It is much easy and calm.
We will see it very soon.
Even Live video stream in YouTube will show it.
Good luck to everyone!!!
I agree with you. I would expect if they are doing two ceremonies a day that we shall soon see folks getting times other than 1230. They say not to arrive early but like you said the 13:15 was bedlam. My husband said if he hadn't arrived early he would have been late getting parked and to the desk on time so do allow for that. Took 45 minutes+ to deal with the car park in and out. Overflow is a muddy field (so don't wear your best shoes!).

It's all very exciting though that it's finally happening. Hopefully everyone here gets their invite! It promises to be a very emotional day.
I absolutely agree with you!!!!
I go there by train. And train should be in Killarney at 10.20am.
So, I would have 2 more hours for my Ceremony at 12.30pm.
Hope I could see Killarney around for a while.
I wish you all the Best!!!

Good morning all,
Another day for the " Ceremony invitation soap opera" 😅
Can I ask anyone who has received invites to also add the date they received their approval letter?
Just to understand if they are following a chronological order or it's totally at random.

Hello,

From what I have gathered most invitations so far on the forum for the 2nd March are from the 08 January approval wave. So it seems that they sent the 10am first, then 12:30pm and now 3pm invitation for the 2nd of March. Some invitations are from people who were approved on 19th November 2019. It gives me great hope that everyone who was recently approved will eventually get an invitation in the post in the new few days. :)

Good job in collating that info. There's still hope for the 3rd of March then. Fingers crossed here.
Thanks everyone for sharing the dates they received their approval letter.
