Just letting you guys know a friend of mine applied in October 2018 and he received his approval few weeks ago and GNIB card today.

The response you got is a generic response. I got that each time I enquired about my application. I didn’t get a second stage letter until after 8 months. Three weeks from the second stage letter I received my approval.

Your application have been approved so the weeks rule no longer applies to you.

You have to wait until the fifth year to apply

If your invitation reads something like pay 950, submit photos GNIB etc. to be Included in the ceremony that means you will be attending the upcoming ceremony. If does not make mention of the ceremony it means you will be looking at other future ceremonies.

Hi Grace,

That's great to hear. I've photocopy the updated gnib and I've posted them today. Do u think I should email it to them also or posting them is enough. I didn't register post, it's normal post I sent them.

Thanks,

Ash

I will scan and email them as well. There’s no harm in doing so.

When I filled out my application, I had my two brother-in-laws give me reference as Irish Citizens and I had no issues at all with it.

If you have renewed your GNIB card, send them a copy ASAP. Since they wrote you a letter requesting it I would imagine that’s the only thing holding their final decision. For all you know,your approval could be lying on someone’s table waiting for you to respond

It is such a painful process waiting that long. No one knows exactly how they process applications. I would say write them a formal letter by post instead of emails. Emails are most times generic but with letters, the department handling your case will respond to you directly and hopefully provide y...

@Rosay36,,,Applied in November 16 and I got 2nd stage letter in July 17, and since then no news, today she said you will get this in post next week. Did you get approval letter after they told you this ? I got a second letter the following day after my call to them and then an approval letter after...

Rang the office this am, lady on the told that my application is being processed at the minute, she will ask the team to send me update and that I will get it next week. Any suggestions what does this mean? Seniors can you help please. I had very similar experience during my time. I called the depa...

I didn’t receive an acknowledgment after the payment until letter of invitation.

Yes I was at the ceremony on Monday

Your payment receipt is given to you on the day of the ceremony.

They come with normal post. They will only register post when returning your passport or when they need more information.

You will get an invite for sure. I would think they will start sending them out after after the small ceremony.

Hi all. Got my approval today (subject to paying 950e, sending gnib etc) Letter states to send everything in the next 10 days if I want to be included into the next ceremony My biggest concern: Current gnib is valid till 5 November 2018 The letter says that gnib needs to be valid on the date of cer...

Forget about what you read on the internet. I had also been invited today to attend the ceremony on the 10th of September in DUBLIN. It is held in the National Concert Hall in D2. Best of luck to everyone. Wow, that’s mental! Apparently it’s true then. Happy for you all guys. Just hope that there’l...

They always had ceremonies in Dublin but they also had a small one in Limerick. We can’t predict how they function we can only speculate. All we need to do is wait and see. I was previously told back in May when I visited my local GNIB office that a ceremony is likely to be in September. Last time I...

congratulations on your invite
