My thanks to all of you for the responses so far. I've not contacted a solicitor mostly on principle. Getting the application looked at (in a reasonable timeframe) should NOT require that kind of pressure, and frankly I didn't want to spend the money. I applied for an FOI last year, probably about 1...
Hello everyone, I'm still waiting. Apparently, I'm one of the 2,059. https://www.oireachtas.ie/en/debates/question/2024-04-09/829/?highlight%5B0%5D=naturalisation&highlight%5B1%5D=naturalisation&highlight%5B2%5D=naturalise My timelines are as follows: Applied Date: 20/10/2021 Application received Da...
Does anyone know when the next ceremony(-ies) might be held? I saw someone in the "2021 Timelines Only" thread suggest maybe March 2024, but I can't find anything on that on the Department website. Also, is there anything else I can or need to do at this point? My timelines are below. This process ...

Does anyone know when invitations for the December ceremonies are expected, or have they already been sent?
I completed e-vetting on 29 November, and hopeful to the point of changing a flight out for Christmas at home (and paying for the change in fare), that I will be among those invited.
Nope. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. Nein. Zero. Niente. Applied Oct 2021, and I’ve received no indication of any reviews or processing of my application. I’ve done a FOI request, and a successful appeal. I’ve written to one of my TDs, and I sent ANOTHER email requesting some information over a week ago. Sti...
Applied Oct 2021, and I’ve received no indication of any reviews or processing of my application. I’ve done a FOI request, and a successful appeal. I’ve written to one of my TDs, and I sent ANOTHER email requesting some information over a week ago. Still NOTHING! hmmm, no approval for my wife still,...
Hello fellow applicants. I'm really happy for all of you that have been approved, and indeed naturalized at the recent ceremonies!! The saga is over for you. I'm just wondering if I'm the only one still waiting for anything from the Department. I applied in Oct 2021. I recently submitted an FOI requ...
I still get no even evetting (applied July 2021) Might be around time to start acting. Request an FOI for starters, see the progress. I submitted a request using the form, via registered post, on Thursday, 20 April. On the form I indicated my preferred method of communication was email. On Wednesda...
So maybe Minister Jim O'Callaghan would be a good person to contact with your proposed request for information on the status of 2021 applications. He happens to be one of the TDs for my area, and is on my list of people to contact for attention to my application and/or the complaint I've drafted. I ...
I would imagine Simon Harris and/or Helen McEntee (on maternity leave), as the ministers of Justice. Though maybe they'd be less willing because they don't want to expose the Department. There is information similar to this here, page 15. https://www.irishimmigration.ie/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Mi...
Thank you for recommending the FOI request. That's all drafted and ready to go, along with the complaint email. I asked someone who shared their FOI story with one of these threads if there was an inventory of the contents of the package received with the application included in the FOI response. Ap...
While doing my semi-monthly perusal of DoJ websites with the vain hope that I will see something that might help me understand why it's taking so long, I found information about how to submit a complaint. This is simply a complaint about customer service, and I am considering submitting and copying ...
Is anyone else who applied in Sept/Oct 2021 still waiting to even receive evetting? We applied on the 26th of September 2021 and so far have only received an acknowledgement letter in May 2022, nothing else since then. I applied 20 October 2021, and I’ve only heard (multiple time) “we are determini...
FYI - my FOI completed - they told my application continue processes Applied July 2021, nonEU Stamp4, 5 years Did the FOI report include an inventory of what was received when your application was first opened? I applied in late October 2021, they lost my (expired) passport, and I'm getting impatie...
Dear fellow applicants (crusaders), I have a somewhat complicated and confusing situation. For clarity, my timelines at the moment are: Application Based On: 5 year NON-EU Stamp 1 + 4 Applied On: 20 October 2021 Application received On: 21 October 2021 Acknowledgement : 07 June 2022 E-Vetting Invita...
