Does anyone know if passport express applications received before lockdown will be actioned now the office is back open? I’m in NI and online was not an option when I applied

Hi all I decided to type out my Second Stage Letter as there are posts asking what the specific letter says (I was one of them...) The letter reads: "Dear Lolo82, I am directed by the Minister for Justice and Equality to refer to your application for naturalisation. Your application has now been ini...

My bank (Bank of Ireland) does not issue euro drafts in NI -ironic.... Any help would be much appreciat...

Makes sense, thank you.

Are we required to provide Police clearance from all the countries of our previous residence?

Yes. I had to get it from the country I lived in during 2008 and my home country. I don’t believe there is an 8 year rule.

Hi all We had our spousal declaration returned due to missing the space to where it asks the place, and day and month at the bottom when we had the declaration witnessed by a notary public. The person returning the form highlighted the date we did the declaration and highlighted the blank spaces. Wh...

Hi all. Hope some insight could be shed. I received an rc in July 2012 based on a durable relationship. I was married in Oct 2014. In July 2017, I applied for PR and was given a second 5 year rc. I have tried for 1.5 years to sort the card as I was not told why I was not given PR. At this point I ha...

I would get it and send it. I was asked for it after I sent my application.

I'm Canadian and was asked for the clearance from both Canada and Greece (I lived in Greece for 5 months).

I wish I had known they would ask before i sent my application.

Worst case, you get it and don't need it

I have my residency card which is valid until 2022 and am 3 months in since applying for citizenship. am I able to travel while my application is being considered?

do I need to let INIS if I'm away for 10-14 days?

thanks everyone.

hadn't seen that reply so thought is was moved on without the letter.

can't edit

the reason I post is because I know not every one received a 2nd stage letter

thanks

I recently emailed the citizenship dept to ask if they had an average wait time and also if my application was only hold while I sent additional info. reading their reply, I'm not if I've moved to stage 2 without a letter or if they are just outlining the next steps: "Dear Lolo82 I refer to your e-m...

hi

I was curious if our application documents are returned or if anything is kept by the Dept?

during a previous immigration application, most docs were returned but 1 or 2 werent.

hi I was just inquiring why a second set of passport photos need to be sent with the €950 payment. I thought the certified photos sent with the initial application were all that were required. send the photos bro :lol: people on this form have much more pressing matters and complicated issues to de...

thanks everyone for explaining. Happy to send when I'm asked. thanks as well for explaining the 6 month rule as I still have a set from the initial application I probably would have sent.
