I'm not so sure about the processing times. I know of one guy who had applied in jan '07 (yes 2007, not 2006) on the basis of living and working in Ireland for 5 yrs and he got his approval a couple of weeks back.

just wondering. did DOJ ask him for additional documents?

If my source of information is correct Justice collects data from Revenue for all that have got naturalisation - for up to 7 years. Therefore it's needed that you are a tax payer in the country for at least 7 years after you became a paddy! I am sure people in this board will know better! You are n...

Hello, I applied for my Irish Naturalisation/ Citizenship in Oct 2007 after completing my 5 years stay on Work Visa. I am working for a Consulting company in Dublin and as a part of my job I have to travel on deputation to another country in Jan 2009 for a period of 6-9 months. I own a house here i...

I think that she will have to apply for a visit visa, on her own merits. The maximum length of time that she will be allowed to stay is, iirc, 3 months. I don't think she will be allowed to stay longer than the 3 months on a visitors' visa. i am a non visa passport holder. Benifa is right. even tho...

guys,

dont worry. there is more chance that the irish government will follow the brits and change the law instead of you winning the lottery!

We would be returning under EU law as i have been living & working here for 2 years & he has been working here legally for 3 years. Our marriage is 100% legit (he already has his papers so doesnt need me for that & weve been together for 2 years) but my job is finishing next week & I just want to r...

Hi Rustig, What did you do when you've seen the letter from INIS asking for PPC? Have you sent them the PPC yet? If you did, have you got the 5 years LTR yet? It looks that the interference between the LTR and the naturalization process might be true. Regards, Mendo so Mendo. are you saying the INI...

rustig wrote:Mendo: I recieved the letter at the end of July 2008. Only send the PPC middle October. Nothing yet. I get the impression the two departments does not know what the other is doing. Been in Ireland since May 2001.

if you have never applied LTR, why would they send you PPC request for LTR?

Hi Benifa, My wife should have the right to work because I am benefiting from this Irish directive: http://www.inis.gov.ie/en/INIS/Pages/WP07000151 Information Note on the Immigration Position Arising from the Accession of Bulgaria and Romania to the EU General From 1 January 2007, on the accession...

i think people should start to record their conversation with DOJ when they go there. just use their mobile phone without telling them. i know the GNIB people usually tell people some wrong info off their head. just like they were saying they do not follow the EU directives other than the irish law....

Hi all, After reading post page 20-23, i think application at tipp office are processing quicker then application at dublin office. so i think if anyone got response from inis after jun 2006 means application is at tipp office. My application base on 5 year work permits Application sent in aug 2007...

Hi benifa, This is probably the only option we have at the moment, with the only inconvenient that it will take more than 6 months to get an answer back from DOJ. What I am afraid is that Ireland might succeed to change the law again or that even if DOJ will grant us the residence the GNIB will ref...

Sorry, I didn't mean to correct or offend, just to clarify. I see that you did in fact become resident. However, the licence situation has nothing to do with immigration status. You can use the NZ one for 1 year and that's all. Of course, since you left and came back, maybe the year starts again. I...

some people only asked by the DOJ for affidavits. some has been asked for affidavits with all other documents. i was wondering. did the DOJ does this based on the person nationality? job? or something else. people want to share their experiences here and tell other people of what they do and and wha...

Hi guys, Did anybody get LTR Approval recently? If so, when did you apply and sent Police Clearance Cert to them? I applied in Nov 2006, They requested PCC on 30th of July, I posted PCC to them on the 2nd of August. Still waiting... Called LTR Department few times. They are waiting for Garda cleara...

well, i agreed with the minister for certain issues here. yes, the immigration officer in the airport is doing a very difficult job, but it doesnt mean that they can be rude to people. i guess there is something call customer service that they would not have learn while they were in their training. ...

if the irish government done what Archigabe said in the first place (unanounced show up in the applicant's house and check) in stead of refused all the non EU married to EU spouse residency application(including the one really married to their EU spouse). none of this would have happened.

does anyone knows what the Birth Certificate Affadifit is for? i submitted my application with a certified birth cert(translated officially from my own embassy). do i still have to submit Birth Certificate Affadifit ???????

I honestly doubt if they write to your country of origin. If that was the case for most Asian and African countries you probably would not even get a response! And I doubt if these countries even have a central database which stores criminal convictions (if any) of a person. well, you got that righ...
