I was just curious if people on this forum who have had to go through/currently go through the 12 month waiting time for the Spouse of an Irish National application could take a minute to fill out the below timeline? I didn't apply as Spouse of Irish National, but I have a bit of data on the applic...

This is my wife's timeline, she got second stage letter today. I applied earlier (March 2018) and I'm not yet at second stage. Our applications were similar, but not exactly the same. Application Based On: 5 years residence (non-EU, stamp 1 & 4) Applied: 1/8/2018 Letters/reply regarding signatures n...

I'd guess a lot of people on this forum have their own way of tracking/analysing... and guessing how long their application will take. For individuals, the time it will take to get an approval is unpredictable, but in aggregate the information is interesting. Have done some analysis myself. The char...

I've been asking a TD to ask regular written questions about numbers of applications outstanding. For those who applied in 2016.... In December 2018, there were 761 applications outstanding from 2016 In November 2018, there were 768 applications outstanding from 2016 (so only 7 received citizenship ...

I know someone who was in the same situation. She did not keep a copy of the signatures so couldn't properly answer as to the exact differences. She wrote a letter that explained that after she got married her signature changed and the new signature has been "evolving", and that sometimes she accide...

I've no comment on whether your petition is a good idea or not, but can I suggest asking a TD to ask a parliamentary question to this effect. Then you will get official information instead of comments on a bulletin board. Replies are required within 3 parliamentary sitting days (i.e. about a week, d...

Compare: 2014: 340 undecided applications vs 15,474 total applications (2.2%) 2015: 330 undecided applications vs 12,712 total applications (2.6%) 2016: 1,700 undecided applications vs 13,011 total applications (13.1%) 2017: 7,330 undecided vs unknown total ... say 12,000 (61%) Cold comfort to thos...

I wonder if there are any stats on how many people applied for naturalisation every year during the last few years? A little old now (20 June 2017), but yes there is: https://www.kildarestreet.com/wrans/?id=2017-06-20a.1831#g1834.r Year 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 (to date) Applica...

... the fallacy of your argument

You are still not getting it. The numbers still have no co-relation is the point being made, sitting in 2017, we would have looked at the past years and would have expected more approvals and more citizen but alas, in 2017 the percentage of waiting members jumped from 13% to 61% ....:D And you are ...

I don't think you understood the table its not for how many people apply in those years its for how many application pending since those years these were the people still waiting for approval example there are 340 people who applied in 2014 or earlier didn't received there approval up to 25/04/2018...

What do you mean? I think that lines up pretty accurately. Looks like 2017 had a high number of applications, meaning that processing times were longer.

Some more analysis on processing times, based on ~60 timeline posts to this site. Horizontal axis is the date the application was sent in. Left hand axis is days to acknowledge. Right hand axis is days to 2nd letter and days to approval. What I get from it is: processing times were high for applicat...

I've analysed posts on this site from 46 users in the 2017 and 2018 timeline posts. This gave me average timelines that are similar, but maybe a little longer than what you had. These timelines are for applications from Non-EU applicants with Stamp 4 residency. In my sample, I also checked EU applic...

My wife and I have recently submitted applications and wondered how others have organised the additional documents? We figured that a well organised application would make it easier/quicker for a decision to me made, though obviously this is no guarantee ! To make it as easy as possible for them, we...
