Honestly I got nothing from contacting the TD. He emailed the INIS about my matter and he received the same answer as normal pe...

May I ask you please what stamp do you hold? and what is the base of your application?

@ omarel
I've applied in August 2016 and still waiting for my approval. It seems that they are sending very limited number of approvals. I only saw one who got his approval on 1st of August. rally strange why they are not sending many approvals yet. Hopefully we will hear something good soon

I've tried to call them today, but no one answered. I'd say there is still 3-4 weeks to go for the approvals to roll out. Moreover, in my opinion, this ceremony should have many applicants. Let's wait and see. I think that 3-4 weeks is too much, they need to start sending approvals for the majority...

What's going on Folks?
has anyone received an approval on his citizenship application.
No much time remained for the October ceremony and it seems that the approvals didn't roll out yet.
Any thoughts?

Hi Would some recommend a competent solicitor to help me receive a citizenship approval?

It has been more than two year...

I think that you should tick 'other' and add that she dependent on you.

You will need to provide a sort of...
