Any approvals today? Not to my knowledge. I’m still waiting on mine, hoping it would come back soon. Was told on the phone in early Dec ‘19 that I should make it to the ceremony in March (she mentioned they were trying to clear the massive backlog, mentioning it would be in March even before the ‘S...

Hi

Thanks for your reply..no not jet was just looking for advice or expirience from people that went through that procces

That would be a place to start. Good luck.

Have you contacted the Greek Embassy/Consulate/Mission?

I rang them today and was told my application has been submitted to the minister. Likelihood of being included in the next ceremony? Very unlikely at the best of times but extremely unlikely since the announcement of the impending election. How does the impending elections on the 8th of Feb affect ...

Write to the GNIB office in Dublin requesting for your period of reckonable residence. You’ll get it in a week or two at the most and you can use those dates for the residency calculator. I tried this but did not work. This the reply I got: "I am to advise that the information sought by you is for ...

If they meant 10 business days, they’d clearly state that.

If you’re in Ireland, could you not submit the things they want from another county?

Guessing you’re probably away from Ireland if you asked.

Due to work travel reason, i am submitting ( GNIB + Fee) 2-3 weeks late . Hoping i will be included in the ceremony. guys , do you think any issues may arise ? due to late submission. Thanks for your insight. I just flew back to Dublin last night and asked a the immigration officer a few questions ...

It is 6 weeks max in last year but with minister discretion. You can probably try to apply, explaining the need to travel. If it not work it will be refused prior to 2nd stage(2-7 months), try not to travel in meantime and apply 2nd time. I wonder if RJ’s application was refused prior to the second...

No worries. Apologies for the multiple posts again! I requested a letter from the GNIB office (Addressed to the Garda Superintendent) with my period of reckonable residence despite the fact that there weren’t any errors. All I had to do was to input this into the naturalisation calculator - it shoul...

Apologies for the multiple posts- tried to edit and it ended up posting. Cannot delete them either. Can the Mods help pls? Only the last post is pertinent.

You might have discrepancies but at the end of the day, its the reckonable residence that is stated in the letter which should pretty much the period (not necessarily exact dates) of your stamps - stamps as you said are stamped at different times. Send them that and a letter if you want to say that ...

Yes, submit what the letter from the GNIB with your period of reckonable residence states.

This department is a mess, say one thing then do another. Im sure they said one was due early 2020

What they mean by ‘several ceremonies’ is having two or three ceremonies on the same day- the 10-ish am batch = 1st ceremony and the 1-2ish pm = 2nd ceremony.

This department is a mess, say one thing then do another. Im sure they said one was due early 2020 Spring can be considered early in the year if it is March or Maybe they meant spring by Celtic Calendar, then it can be in February. ;) :) I spoke to a lovely lady from the helpline who said the next ...

Yes. Very ambitious and could be interpreted either way. My original stance still holds.

Well.. he clearly resides in Ireland as he is with his parents and studies here but is away during the summer. One can argue either way but lets not forget RJ- the Aussie who was away for approx 3 months (100 days a year) worked here but spent all that time away as he is in academia and would thus b...

I read the article below in Irish times. I think that means the next ceremony will be early next year. "More than 2,000 people are due to be sworn in as Irish citizens in Killarney, Co Kerry next Monday and thousands more are expected to receive citizenship in the first two months of next year foll...

Thank you so much!

I would send them a letter with a copy of the council letter.

Not really, there was a case where a person was denied even after swearing the oath but before receiving the certificate (at that time you would get it later).

He brought it to court and lost.
