I rang INIS today and I was told the same info... but I forgot to ask them when they sent my application to the Gardai.ChIrl wrote:I called INIS today and have been informed that they requested Garda clearance in Nov.08 and they are also sending reminders. They have also informed that they have received lot of Garda clearances recently and hope to receive mine in the next 7 weeks.
Application Submitted March 2006
Additional docs requested 4th Sept 2008
Surprisingly, whenever I called (3-4 times) earlier they told me that Garda Clearance was requested on 4th Sept, but now they are saying that it has been requested only in Nov.08 as per the files.
Strange !!!!.

Strange !!!!.
I also submitted my application at the end of March / beginning of April 2006. I sent additional docs at the end of September 08.
I rang on the 16 Dec 08 for update - my application was in Garda check and told me they sent the app to the Gardai in September.
I rang today (27 Jan 09) for an update - my application is still in Garda check. They sent reminders to the Gardai and they should be getting a reply from the Gardai in "a couple of months".
Yes, this is the last formality in your case. It's more like a sanity check than anything else. You should be getting your approval in about 2-3 weeks.Dublin1 wrote:I called INIS, been advised that they will send my file to the minister for decision, and the lady was saying the minster office will need to look at the case and make decision. My understanding it is kind of formality. Do the Minster office examine the application again ? Or do they have another criteria ?
You're almost there...I hope so, that there is no other hidden process, after the application to be sent to the minster.LuasPassenger wrote:Yes, this is the last formality in your case.

I was sceptical when i heard in_dublin saying that. But he did get it in 3 weeks. I on the other hand am waiting for Minister's decision for months now...LuasPassenger wrote:Yes, this is the last formality in your case. It's more like a sanity check than anything else.

Did someone on this forum ever contacted (successfully) the Department of Justice rather than INIS - on the status of the application? I can't find any useful contact details for DoJ.

additional docs were submitted in Oct 08.
I was told they're still waiting for garda clearance that was requested back in October 08 and they said they have sent some sort of reminder to the Garda for the backlog and was promised by them to deal with the backlog and decrease it. Finally i was advised that they should hear from them in next 2 months. it's like a joke....go now and come back in 2 months...anyways. that's the only update I have.
You need to engage a solicitor and fill the form in his presence. he will then notarise (sign) it.babar asif wrote:I got a letter from INIS, they have send me a birth certificate affedavit form, how should i copmlete ? it also need to be sign by soliciter. they also ask me why I cannot get the birth certificate. any one esle have filled this type of certificate
I wanted to comment re point (2): You can request INIS to issue a copy of the Certificate of Naturalisatin in English. Please see Parliamentary Question 619 from 27 Jan 2009:Lost Soul wrote:After applying in June 2006 I finally received my Certificate of Naturalisation yesterday. It is an A4 laminated certificate fairly presentable but two points stick out:
1) The INIS are too budget conscious to use decent envelopes so the postman folded it in half.
2) The certificate is completely in Irish, I can't read a word and and none of the 14 Irish people in my office can translate it. I'm working on the translation now.
At least the long wait is over and I can apply for a passport. You have to send original birth and marriage certificates by post with your passport application, hopefully they don't manage to lose them.
http://debates.oireachtas.ie/DDebate.as ... 85&Page=48A copy of the certificate of naturalisation is available in English from the Citizenship Division of my Department on request.
