According to INIS, in May 2019 there were 763 applications still waiting from 2016 (out of 13,000). Do you have the link? And if you go back to December 2018, there were 768 waiting from 2016. So a reduction of 5 in ~5 months... at this rate it will take 60 years to clear! https://www.oireachtas.ie...

Have you contacted your TD or written to the department of justice to seek an update or explanation? I did it last year. TD got the same copy paste reply. No gain. TD cant do anything. If you know you are a genuine applicant and confident about your case so come forward and take a legal action in t...

One must note that it is people born in Pakistan, who will usually be Pakistani anyway, unless they are of Afghani origin born in Pakistan. I accept that some may hold UK nationality...

These delays are unreasonable: I believe that is about time somebody takes this matter to court. There is a precedence for that. As mentioned in the following link, EU law requires the processing to be completed in 6 months. http://www.thejournal.ie/high-court-allows-immigrants-to-challenge-ministe...

Just got a reply from Dept of Justice through a Solicitor, where we had threatened them that we will proceed with judicial Review after receiving copy of my file under FOI. They replied the same shi***. That for a broad range of reasons some cases take longer than others.. Blah blah... and that if ...

No I didn’t send anything or any FOI, they even didn’t ask for any docs. TBH I don’t know or think of any reason why it took so long. Congrats upon on your approval. You are lucky that finally your wait is over. I am still waiting for almost 3 years. Rang them yesterday and the same story waiting f...

You are lucky atleast you approved. I am waiting for 3 years and delay is killing me. Don't know how long this going to be. I have never got any objection from department neither they asked me any documents.

Hi. That’s really sad. Would you please let me know how did you ask for copy of your file through solicitor or on your own by sending them email? And how many days did it take? Hi Lily3... I applied through a solicitor, although you can apply for that yourself and it took them exactly one month to ...

Has anyone received approval recently or any other update for 2016 delayed applicatons.

Nope not yet. 2 days remaining in my deadline since I asked for copy of my file under FOI...

Any update guys? I rang them on tuesday and lady said the same story "waiting for some reports" bul**t

The first time they told me that my application was on the final stage is in late January or early February. The last time is on 7 March. - Give or take, it's about 5-6 weeks. It may have been on the final stage before that, but I didn't call them during December so I don't know. The first time the...

Yes I call them a few times in the past two months. Not sure why your solicitor asked you not to contact the department. Phone calls won’t have a direct impact on your application anyway as they are a different team. Call them in the morning. Ask specifically if your application is on the final che...

Looks like we have no news. 2017 Oct got some approvals on here. I hope everyone of us will get the approval letter soon. Its really devastating that it looks like 2016 Applicants are exempt to get this privilege. I haven't seen anyone got approved who applied in 2016 (including me). We all should ...

For the last ceremony (26/11/2018) the approvals came out around 22/10 or 35 days before the ceremony. That would mean for ceremony on 29/4/2019 the approvals would be out on 25/3... so still a couple of weeks to wait. Hi guys!! I dont see any hope to get approval for this ceremony on 29th. God kno...

I guess no one received a letter from INIS. Looks like we have tonwaitbSeptenbet That's true. I was told by the department that my application is submitted to the minister and i should hear something in few weeks time well i dont believe them. I already made an appointment with some well known dubl...

Hello everybody. Thought you would all like to know that I got my decision today. I have been granted citizenship and I am happy 😃 I took The judicial review case in the end and my solicitor and barrister got leave of the court for me to do judicial review. Then the citizenship department granted m...

Applied in Nov 2016. Rang today to get an update the lady on phone said waiting Foreign Agency Report to further process your app as I said the has been said several times before as well, she then said we have requested a fresh one on 13th feb. While they sent several letters before that your app i...

Hey guys, Yesterday I received copy of my application through FOI. I had chance to go through all papers. I am not sure if they sent me all papers on the file, but if this is my file. I can tell you that THEY DID NOT DO ANYTHING IN RELATION TO MY APPLICATION. My file. Is stiijng there for 2 years f...

:oops: ... I applied in November 2016. Got Second stage letter in December 2016. Apparently straight forward application. Nothing since except copy paste emails and letters. Recently asked my TD to inquire about the delay. Same copy paste reply to him as well. Tomorrow I'm going to ask for copy of ...

When I rang them last year in October the lady on phone told me that my case is in final stage for submission to minister as well it took 10 working days after that call and I got letter in post about paying €950 and few other things and they gave me only 10 days to submit it Can I ask for the lett...
