@Brigid . Please excuse my ignorance, but is this for some EU national who is trying to use the EU rules in order to get dependent non-EU parents into Ireland? My own status: I am a naturalised Irish citizen and my non-EU parents are dependent on me. I have been looking at legal options to get them ...

I dont think this is applicable for bringing in dependent non-EEA parents.

any further information on the above topic. I am also exploring ways to bring my dependent parents.

as long as one parent is irish it doesnt matter, you can claim irish citizenship for the child via the foreign birth registration method.

For the children of a naturalized person to gain the Irish citizenship, the naturalized parent has to be registered on the foriegn birth register at the moment of the child birth ( I'm not sure but someone can correct me if I'm wrong) If the child is born outside the island of Ireland, then the chi...

Any update here? has anyone recently received the invitation? If so please post ur reply with the date when you have sent the payment and Gnib card etc.,

thanks a lot.

My wife got her invitation letter for 2/3rd Feb. She had sent her documents to INIS on Nov-1

thanks for your update

My wife had obtained her approval letter in end october and she had posted her GNIB card and bank draft on 1-Nov but yet to receive the letter with the date of citizenship ceremony.
Are there any others who have submitted around this date but yet to receive the letter with the date??

After 3 years of marriage to you (from the date you received your naturalisation certificate) and with at least 1 years of residency in Ireland prior to her application, she may apply for citizenship as the spouse of an Irish national hi can i just ask you to clarify. is it a)3 years from the date ...

i think the correct procedure is same as someone mentioned earlier in this thread. EU national to go first to UK, apply for an EEA permit for the spouse. Once the spouse arrives in UK, she will need to apply for an EEA2 permit. This will take a few months to get approved. I think once the HO acknowl...

I dont think the 5 year multiple entry visa will be valid as this one is a tourist visa.

No need to have your GNIB card with you while you are travling if you have your correspondance with you and just make a copy of the card. I traveled and entered Ireland 2 times without having my card with me just I had the approval letter and a copy of the card.\ best of luck Do they cross-question...

Hi everyone. I have this really strange thing happened to me today. I sent of the bank draft, photos and current GNIB card to Tipperary Citizenship Office in 1st of November 2011. I just got a registered letter from a INIS office along with my current GNIB card sent back to me inside the letter tod...

We applied together on July 2009 as residing for 5 years and my wife was accompanying me. further document requested on early May 2011. they were waiting for garda report since May 2011 I updated them with my CON and Passport a month a...

Cheers!! I like the name "wife of Strongbow"

Just to inform that my wife got the approval letter Date of application - july 2009 Basis of application - 5 years work permit and stay in ireland (I got naturalised in 2008) but my wife's application was made in her own right as 3 years had not elapsed since I received my approval (i.e. condition f...

same thing for my wife. They said the letter has already been despatched. She's a July-2009 applicant. You mean your wife spoke to them today as well but they only told you wife that letter has been dispatched this week but did not say anything? They said the approval letter has been sent but did n...

same thing for my wife. They said the letter has already been despatched. She's a July-2009 applicant.

It seems that the old system of booking appointments in the courts for taking oath for citizenship has been scrapped altogether (at least in Dublin). My wife had phoned up the Dublin court to get an idea of the waiting period etc at the courts but the person at the court informed that INIS is handli...

This is regarding those who got citizenship approval recently. In case of those who were not invited to the citizenship ceremony and had to go via the "old" route of booking an appointment in the court and then submit the relevant papers etc. , when do you have to submit the bank draft and the GNIB ...

Thanks for the link. I presume that the financial documentation can be in the form of cheques or drafts or other bills that I have made to them or on their behalf. Also, in the thread it is mentioned that the applicant's parents were under 65 yrs of age. Is there any significance to this? Does it me...

Where are your parents living at the moment? How are they dependent on you? You could also try a family visitor visa but that obviously depends on how realistic that would be for them. They are living in India. Under Irish law I cannot get them to Ireland for more than 3 months at a time. I provide...
