What is the inis email to contact about my application of citizenship?

ireland/need-help-t277427.html#p1758155

Should I inform the department of my absence of more than 6 weeks? Check the letters you have received for guidance. I think the instructions on the first letter ask you to notify them of change in circumstances (address, employment, marriage, etc). You can judge if your time away amounts to a chan...

Can you please let me know what happens if i'm absent for more than 6 weeks after submitting the application a year ago? will it be refused? See this answer... Your residence is counted back from the date of application so the absences after the application has been posted won't be considered. In c...

my question is if its still any chance for me to be on June ceremony its only 2 weeks left to go. My wife got her invite today - it was posted yesterday 13/6. Depending on where you live, the post might take a day or two longer. For the April ceremony, there was someone who received a letter 10 day...

Check your mailboxes guys, I just got an invitation on June 28th ceremony.

Congratulations - would you mind posting your full timeline?
In this thread if you applied in 2018, this one for 2017, or this one for 2016

I applied in May 2017 and till date no decision! ... Can anyone tell me when a decision can be made when your application is at an advanced stage? Unfortunately not. "Advanced stage" doesn't mean a decision will be made in any specific time frame. There were 2,240 people who applied in 2017 still w...

People from Pakistan have special treatment here. The last ceremony in April doesn't mention how many people get citizenship from Pakistan. The minimum number is 61 people from China so I assume people from Pakistan are less than 30 that get citizenship. My comparison is not on the basis of number ...

According to the 2016 Census report, there are actually 12,891 Pakistani National living in Ireland, an increase of about 5k since 2011. Therefore your figure of the population of Pakistani is much lower than it actually is. Interesting - can you link to the report? I am looking at Statbank table E...

I have a stamp on my passport which says G4 on top corner. Does it indicate it's Stamp4?

Yes, that's a stamp 4. There are a few different versions. My current stamp says "No. 4", and an older one has G4.

I am not sure what else this application time analysis was for

Citizenship by Naturalisation on the basis of residency, and marriage/civil partnership.

Does that time frame seem correct to you for 2018 processing? There are a number of 2018 applicants that are still waiting, mine was received and acknowledged in August 2018, no word since then for me. From your other posts I think your application is for Foreign Birth Registration, therefore the s...

Hi ...hope we get some news ...Goodluck to all those waiting

Would you mind sharing your timeline in the relevant thread? How long have you been waiting?

Undeniably they have more and more people who are waiting longer and longer than their stated 6-month. The Minister has recently said that the average wait time is: 6.7 months in 2016 7.2 months in 2017 6.5 months in 2018 If this is true, then for every application that takes longer, there must be ...

I don't know the refusal rate but I doubt if it would be more than 15%. Looking back it is around 4%. I believe in their stats adults and minors applications are counted together, but ceremonies are only attended by adults. I think around 20% of applications would be minors. This is a good point. I...

2018: 8,203 undecided applications vs 12,724 total applications 2019: 2,556 undecided applications Although you received their response in May, is it possible their data is few months old? If there were 12,700 applications in 2018, that would mean around 1000 per month, so 2500 pending from 2019 wo...

That number seems way too high. I would have thought that if a straightforward application takes 6 months, even with some delays, the majority of 2018 applications should be resolved now. Maybe they are just waiting for the next ceremony in order to be able to sign off these applications? They say ...
