I do feel a bit worried about INIS's approach though. It was posted to their own website and it only gives people 2 days to respond. Most people who got approval won't check INIS's website on a daily basis, Maybe it was added in later, but the statement does say that candidates will be notified by ...

I remember that in the year leading up to my application, I was particular about not travelling abroad That's all well and good, but for many of us being 'particular' about traveling abroad would involve us needing to quit our jobs or go on career leave for that year. I still argue that less than 1...
I disagree that only 1% will succeed. It is not unusual for a person not to have travelled in a 12 months calender year. Agreed. When I applied for mine 3 years ago, I hadn't gone out of the country the year immediately prior to the application date. My wife applied for hers last year, and her appl...

If I get the application for citizenship accepted (3 years married to Irish person ). do I need to supply any further documents or proof of marriage to obtain the passport or is it just next ceremony and off to the passport office? Your application for a passport would be independent of your applic...
They don't always ask for anything. If you cover everything off in your application form with the documents requested, then you shouldn't have to provide anything else. We didn't have to provide anything extra beyond the stuff with the application. This. I applied mid-2016 on the basis of having 5 ...
