Well folks, the proverbial confirmation of address email has arrived. Its been a ride, but it looks like we are finally nearing the end.

14 June 2019 - Online application submitted
23 August 2019 - Documents received
22 October 2021 - Address Confirmation email (Team 2)

FBR Friends, My apologies in advance if this question has already been answered on here. A topic search did not yield the information that I need. I would like to know if there is a current email address at which I can reach out to the FBR team, as the webchat function does not seem to be available ...

Thanks for the reply Pb300. It's good to know I'm not alone. If anyone else filed around mid-2019 and haven't heard anything yet, please post so we know there are others in our position. I don't really have the time to try to call the FBR office, so I guess I'll just continue to wait. Hey there--I ...

I am right there with you both laurakathleen and Luna2019. I got my confirmation of documents email August 2019, then not a word since. I too noticed the September 2019 and later applicants making it through and really wish there was a way to make sure mine is at least in the pipeline still.

Thats encouraging to hear. I am nearing the one year mark since receiving my confirmation of document receipt email from Dublin. This year has been a weird one by far, and continued delays in this process has had me feeling a bit down lately. But cheers to a (hopefully) productive resumption of prod...

Hello. Just wanted to update my status. FBR showed up in the mail Dec 30th and I immediately sent out my passport application to the Ottawa Irish embassy as instructed. I have a job offer in Amsterdam starting date March 1st. Gotta have that EU passport for it to go through. Any ideas on how long t...

That would be a more accurate way of saying of it. Thankfully the certified copies work though. These are what pretty much everyone here has used from what I can tell. If they required the actual pieces of paper from three generations ago, I doubt many of us would be able to pull it off.

MKCG,

They mean certified copies of the long form certificates purchased from the relevant registry authorities. I used www.nidirect.gov.uk to get my grandfather's from Northern Ireland and it looks www.groireland.ie is the site to use for certificates issued in Ireland.

That is quite odd. I sent mine from a UPS Store and was offered all three carriers, with no mention of a PO Box restriction. Either way, USPS got it there no problem.

Dcapp, I sent mine via USPS without any issue and it was significantly less expensive than the Fedex option. The tracking number provided only worked until the package left the US, but I read this is a common issue with tracking numbers for all international mail from the US. Either way, the DFA wil...

Hello all, I am a current FBR applicant, new to the board, with a question regarding some of the information I submitted along with my application. First I will share my application basis and current progress, then the question. FBR Stats: I live in North Carolina, USA, and applied via my grandfathe...
