just got my invite in the post - delighted

Congratulations to everyone that has gotten their invitation letter. If I may ask what date is on the letter and is it stated on it the time for the ceremony? I believe there are 3 batches on 29th of April? Mine is 15:10. I believe this is the last one of the 3 batches. Thanks! - is the letter date...

Congrats lads I didn’t receive anything today so hoping I get an invite tomorrow. They received my payment on the 21st March.
What times are ye all up at for the ceremony?

Nothing in the post today anyway, postman just came

Just found this on INIS website : Citizenship phone lines will be closed on the following Tuesdays and Thursdays: April 2, 4, 9, 11, 16, 18, 23, 25. During those dates, you can continue to send in queries by email to citizenshipinfo@justice.ie Phone lines re-open on Tuesday 30 April. So only option...

Here’s hoping! - invites will surely be going in the post next week? The ceremony will be 4 weeks to the day on Monday!

Nothing yet this side - it’s 4 weeks 4 days not including the ceremony day, so they must be out next week I’d say

Are we hoping next week for ceremony invites? - they received my fee last Thursday 21st so hoping I get included for this one.

Hi guys - wondered outside on this lovely day, I picked the right day to work from home! Postbox had a brown envelope! Approval after a crazy wait for such a straightforward app (I’m here nearly 30 years!!!) dates yesterday and from team 2. Now to head in to get photos and bank draft at lunch time t...

Yea I wondered the same - the response is generic, does it help I don’t know...

Haha what are the odds - guessing your are in Laois consistency? You could use one of the two other TDs there?

guys, don't stress too much on the teams and stages. There is no pattern followed by this department. Also, don't confuse with teams sending you written letters and the teams responding to your emails. They are different. My experience, the team which issued the first letter remains the same throug...

I had an email reply from team 1 a couple of months before I received my second stage letter. The next email reply I received was also from team 1, a few months after I received my second stage letter. For me at least there is no pattern.

Hi there, I got through after millions attempts and they said still processing not with the minister yet. I asked any chances to get something before April she says can’t tell..i said so mean i have to wait till September then she says yes may be early stage of September.. so the conclusion is my f...

No reference to teams though there - really suspect the team number has no bearing on the stages an application is at

https://www.immigrationboards.com/ireland/citizenship-application-processing-stages-and-freedom-of-information-t273543.html Thank you. I had gone through that thread. Really informative. I guess Im just trying to figure out if team 2 deals with stage 2, since we know that team 1 deals with the fina...

Any 2017 outstanding applications had any feedback from INIS at all? I emailed them Friday requesting an update and haven’t heard back yet.

Guys, I am shaking. Just got home from work and the brown envelope was there. Posted yesterday, after 1 year and 5 months I finally got my approval. Best of luck to all of you and I guess my theory was right!!!

Ah brilliant congrats my friend!!!

Got thru after 1h15 mins trying. Lovely lady said my application is finished. I asked if Minister made a decision, she said I should b gettin a letter in thw post shortly. Will update here if my theory is right, letters were posted yesterday. Thanks for the update Anira - if your theory is right th...

Finally, after 142 tries I managed to talk to someone on the INIS phone line. The same story as you guys, it is ready for submission, waiting for a Directive from the Minister Office to get a signal for a go ahead. Asked, when it will be submitted, she told we are just waiting. Asked, is there a bi...

Thanks Paddy! I'm still waiting since October 2017. Only received my second stage letter in October 2018, and still waiting to hear any update. I can't believe the documents are left untouched for so long. I have been told the usual whenever I contact them. If we need any further information we wil...
