Re: Citizenship applications from 2017 pending approval

Ok I'm back to square one. Last month I was told that my application has been submitted to minister and I would receive a letter within a few weeks. Then I tried to call them once a week to see if there's any update. So far the information I received each time is contradictory. Sometimes I was told...

Re: Can’t afford Naturalisation fee?

Hi, congratulations! If you pay outside the window, you will be included in the ceremony after April. Possibly a small one in June and one in November (large one).

Can I ask when you applied? Thanks!

Re: Citizenship applications from 2017 pending approval

basically what INIS are potentially saying is there are 3000 people already lined up for the ceremony in april, and those 3000 all have already received approval.... so those who havent received approval - i.e us, may have to wait until a ceremony in late summer? God knows... your man on the topic ...
