1. Send them an email explaining this. They will acknowledge it. I've done the same and I got the citizenship after a few months. So it should be fine.
2. Yes. That's correct.

Has anyone got approval letters for the minors recently? If so, can you share the application timelines?

Applied on December 2022 and got the acknowledgement around March. No updates since then.

It should be only posted/emailed starting just 15 days before the ceremony as it happened all the previous times.

Update: Minor naturalization applications that were sent before December 15th started to get acknowledgments now.

More or less it is the similar timelines of adult applications. In comparison with Forms 9 and 11, form 9 is simple to fill out.

No one received any communications except the ones that approved the citizenship from October 2022. Not even the acknowledgment.

Sent the minor application in the middle of December. But no communication regarding it so far.

Is the 1-year continuous residence immediately prior to applying clause still apply for minor applications? or are they exempted from it?

For the past ceremony, the attendees started getting invitations on June 7 for the June 20th Ceremony. So we can have a wild guess. But that was for only 950 attendees and the upcoming one was scheduled for two days.

Yes.

You can bring a guest with you to the ceremony. No kids but elder ones are allowed.

You cannot see or download the e-Vetting results. It's only available to the ISD. All you can see is the status confirming if the ISD viewed it.

I am also in the same situation and uploaded the expiring IRP card. I hope they will ask for the new IRP card down the line.

Not only me, few others got their application approved as well from 2022(as latest as April). So, it's here and happening.

Has anyone received their invitation letter for December ceremony yet ?? I assume this person's ceremony dates means they got an invite, but the speed here is mad overall.

It's good to see some of the 2022 applicants started getting their acknowledgment letters now.

I got the reply from the ISD that they can engage further in my application amendments only after the initial assessment is done and the reference number is sent.

Sure! Will do and update the outcomes here

Thanks. I got the ticket issued by the garda themselves on the day before yesterday. I'm expecting the fine notice from them this week and will pay it. So, it should be there in their records anyway. I will try to get a good character report from my colleagues and send it to ISD. Shall I send it by ...

I got a speeding ticket and 3 penalty points this week after the application submission in March. Do I need to update this to the immigration department? If so, how I can inform this?

Also, how does it affects the ability to get citizenship? Can anyone share their experience?
