Hi All. (I am sorry if this Post isn't relevant to the Forum). My Parents are on "Multiple Entry" Short-Stay Type C Visit Visit, approved for 1 year. They will be 3 months (90 days) in early-November. Just wondering if they can stay for 2-3 more weeks (beyond 90 days)? We dont have any Childminder f...

Hi, We live in Limerick & went to the Garda Immigration Office to renew the Stamp in March 2020 (just before the lockdown started). We were told that Passport will be Stamped when the IRP Card arrives, but then the lockdown started. The IRP Card however surprisingly arrived by Post later, but we cou...

Hi, I also have a couple of queries for my Wife's Naturalisation Application, similar to situation mentioned (Covid-related mismatch between Stamp in Passport and Issue date of IRP Card). 1. Second-last Stamp in Passport: 11/04/2017 - 01/04/2020 Latest IRP Card issue date (Pre-Covid lockdown): 03/03...

Thanks Guys for replying. I am still not sure what to do, as i have been getting similar mixed replies from friends as well (Is she eligible to apply now or not?). The exact wording from Form 8 is: "Note, you must be married / in a civil partnership to the Irish citizen for not less than 3 years, an...

Hi All, I just have a few simple queries: 1. Is the Naturalisation Department accepting new Applications these days; & how many days are they usually taking for return of Original Documents?

Hi All, i heard people getting Approvals again. Anybody from 2017 who got the Approval recently?

I emailed them & also got the same reply "Your application continues to be processed". Its so frustrating as people who applied even in 2019, are getting approval/invitation letters. I applied in January 2017 & still waiting. Does anybody on the forum here, has any advice for all of us?

I know at least 4 more Pakistanis who are waiting for more than two years & are not on this forum; while i have just entered into my nineth year of Irish residency

Same here with me. Applied in January 2017, was told that my application is being prepared to be submitted to the Minister in late 2018; but nothing happened since then. I emailed them again a couple of weeks ago, but no reply yet.

I applied in January 2017. Its already too long & i guess i will have to wait even more

On what bases you have applied for your citizenship ? work / marriage etc.... ?

On the basis of 5-year stay/work. I will be 8-year resident in Ireland in a few months' time.

I am waiting since January 2017 & no approval yet
Any advice as to what should i do? Anyone with personal experience that helped?

I applied in early January 2017, with second-stage letter sent to me in July 2017; nothing since
Emailed them a couple of weeks ago & got reply that my application is being prepared for submission to the Minister.
Dont know how much long will it take now.
