Hi Cooljester
Have not heard anything from them. I will let you know as I get anything.
Stay connected and share whenever you get any new update.

It used to be 3-4 months and then recently it was within 4-6 weeks as my friend’s wife got spouse visa in 4 weeks.
I would say your spouse (in Ireland) should send an email to INIS (visamail@justice.ie) with your Application ref number and should ask them.

Hi Cooljester, Any news about your child’s application?

Hi Cooljester
Thanks for your reply. Hopefully we will hear from them soon. Share here if you get any response.

2 days ago they sent an acknowledgment letter with application reference number and today they returned the original passport.
Generally how much time they are taking for children Naturalisation? I applied for my child in the 1st week of August. Anyone here who recently has applied for their child?

I applied in 1st week of August for my child. They sent me letter last week with reference number but didn’t return the original passport. Is it usual that they keep passport?

same here, bar is going backwards

the estimated issue date is today but still saying processing. The issue is that my flight is already booked for 1st June, I spoke to office and on web chat re: same and sent them email but no luck yet.

Applied on 29th April, estimated issue date is 27th May, do they send/post passport on the same day or take few more days to post after the issuance date?
In February booked travel flights for 1st June.

Finally got the brown envelope of invitation to attend ceremony on 29th.

There is bus service from Killarney to Red Cow (Dublin). You need to check the timings so that you can make it to Killarney before 10,

Anyone got invitation this week?

No I didn’t send anything or any FOI, they even didn’t ask for any docs. TBH I don’t know or think of any reason why it took so long.

Hi Anira: It says 10 days , Do people get letter saying 5 days as well?

Received letter today(dated12/4/19). Sent them 950 and other things today. Is it too late for this ceremony? Fingers crossed

Received letter today (dated 12/4/19). Sent bank draft 950 and 2 photographs. Is it very late for this ceremony? Fingers crossed.
Hopefully all of 2016 batch will get it soon.

No update, seems like they are not doing anything in this ceremony for 2016 applications

Hi, The valid proof in any state department is the document. If you could get your original birth certificate and can prove to them that your parents or one parent was Irish then obviously you are born Irish. By way of adoption into another country one doesn’t lose the nationality of birth country (...

I always have multiple re entry visa for the last 5-6 years and each year I visited back home. I was never asked any questions at the port of entry about the number of days. On one occasion I had 3 or 4 days for my visa to expire and it was fine. I don’t think there is anything like maximum number o...

Today the lady on the phone told that my application is being prepared for submission to the minister.
