Hi - We sent the signed declaration along with the requested info to the citizenship dept 6 weeks ago but haven't received the naturalization certificate yet. We will probably check in with the department next week as they advised that it could take up to 6 weeks to get the certificate. But I was j...

Thank you for your responses. Its good to know that we are not the only ones waiting for the 6 weeks. I'll probably follow-up by the end of next week but hoping that the certificate comes through before then!

This is as strange as it can get. Do you mean that you got few 'Your application continues to be processed' mails whereas the application might actually be approved ? If the letter can be lost, application reference number can be incorrect, what good an email id is to them ? Don't want to miss few ...

I don't know and don't want to create any rumor about new approvals. I was just answering the above person's question on the contents of the email received. To avoid any confusion, It will be better to also inform if you had got the approval letter any time prior to receiving this affidavit email a...

My wife applied in Feb 2018... Still waiting...

Waiting for 3 years now on processing of citizenship for my wife. We consulted a lawyer last year who sent a letter on our behalf which was responded to by the department just before the pandemic hit last year. The letter noted that the application was being prepared for submission to the minister, ...

Has anyone received or heard of anyone else receiving approvals recently? I haven't heard of any approvals since the few that came in early October but wondering if anyone else has any updates and whether its worth checking with the citizenship department for our application?

Update on website: https://www.irishimmigration.ie/applications-approved-and-citizenship-ceremony/ COVID-19 has unfortunately prevented the holding of our large scale citizenship ceremonies which is impacting the processing of applications. As a solution on an interim basis for applicants whose app...

Quote from dail question on 22 Oct “ The Deputy will be aware that formal citizenship ceremonies were introduced almost ten years ago. These have been universally well-received by participants as the ceremonies provide a sense of dignity and a celebratory occasion that serves to underscore the impo...

I wouldn't be surprised if approvals stop again due to the new COVID restrictions. After a few approvals last week, nobody else seems to have posted about approvals this week and no news of the ceremony. Of course, there might be people who got approvals and are not on these boards so if anyone has ...

Got an email reply today, applied in 2nd quarter 2017. so frustrated well over 3 years, Any idea what's happening specially @littlerr, he/she is being so helpful. Dear ....... Thank you for your email. Processing of your application is well advanced and you will be informed of the Ministers decisio...

We are getting that 'advance stage' email since almost a year and we got the same email again recently... Closing in on 3 years wait since submission of applicat...

Fantastic news! Congrats to your friend! Did they mention anything about submitting the IRP and bank draft? Thank you in advance :) Sorry, haven't had a chance to speak to my friend again but when I asked yesterday they said that the letter just says that department is looking for avenues for an al...

So just talked to my friend and the application took just over 15 months (my bad)... They submitted around mid of 2019 (I don't have exact dates)... The approval letter doesn't say anything about the next ceremony and states that the department is looking for alternative avenues to arrange a ceremon...

That's the news

Hello, when did your friend apply exactly? ty

I've asked the exact timeline but I think the application was submitted late last year (Nov/Dec)

No, but it will be submitted to the minister very soon. They will go through one last round of checks and have a supervisor signing off the application before submitting it to the minister. Thanks for your reply :) really appreciate it. In this case, Will i be in the next ceremony you think? My wif...

Yes, seems like good news and this person's application has been approved in less than a year. My wife is now closing in on 3 years waiting for her approval so we are really hoping that she gets her approval now irrespective of when the next ceremony will be!
