Hi I was born in Germany and have german citizenship. When called INIS they asked me to have an apostille stamp on my birth certificate which I obtain in Germany (Ireland is signatory country). "The Hague Convention (1961 ) specifies how a document issued in one of the signatory countries can be au...

It's crazy the way they have started refusing applications based on such small things.

I got the birth certificate certified by the solicitor for the purpose of naturalisation application and there was a letter along with that certificate, from the consulate of my home country to say that the birth cert is genuine. This confirmation is normally not required. Both documents were staple...

Does anyone know if we need to submit PRTB letter for our current address along with the Citizenship Application or not?

Urgent response needed please!

Thanks,

I haven't but a lot of other guys have done so on this forum. It really depends whether it puts any pressure or not, but in a lot of cases, they give the same copy/paste reply to the TD's as well. However, there is no harm in trying though.

Yes - That absence must be deducted in full (i.e. 48 days must be deducted from your residence before you apply). One guy on this forum got his app refused just because of difference of one day of absence from the state. Plus, If you have any letter of approval from INIS, you can submit that as a pr...

Cool stuff.. Cheers bro

All that I can say is: Even if citizenship is a privilege and not not a right, people must not be kept deprived of this privilege for an indefinite period of time, as this can truly be frustrating to keep waiting for this privilege and see others getting it in a matter of few months. This is simply ...

My stamp was approved on 16/01/2013 and I got the stamp in my passport on 4th of February.

Can the above gap of 19 days be covered by the letter from INIS and do I need to submit a copy of the same?

Yeah - I'll deduct both. Don't wanna get the application refused after one year or so.

Cheers!

So, Here is my question: How does the 6 weeks rule really work for Naturalization? Below are two of my absences from the State during year 2015: 2015: 1) 11th of March 2015 – 15th of March 2015 – 5 Days 2) 5th of July 2015 – 25 September 2015 - 2 months and 20 days The question is: Do I need to dedu...

What was the reason of refusal please?

Hi All,
Just to let you know that my application for permanent residency was approved after around 5 and half months.
Thank God.

In my personal opinion, you should re-appeal and that might also take some time, until you hear back from the immigration and after 3 months have passed, you can apply based upon de facto relationship.

That's too much and probably, that's why INIS have deliberately become so strict on this.

Grace is right.
Even if the marriage was registered in Ireland, divorce can still take place in the Baltic country. My marriage was registered in Ireland, however, the divorce took place elsewhere. But the EU spouse must have an address in their country of origin (like Grace said above).
