Fingers crossed for approvals and invitations
Goodluck guys

Approvals are gone now... don’t think they will send any more of those with invitation and ceremony on the horizon.

I’d say any day now to receive our invitation letters...

It’s basically the second stage.

Checks with Garda, etc.

Can last anything from one month to four.

Just wanted to create this topic so we don't ruin all the different 2016/2017/2018 timeline topics.

Anyone who has received the invitation letter... feel free to let us know!

Got my approval letter yesterday (dated 19 March) / Applied in March 2018 / Second Letter in November 2018.

Usual wording: send fee, photos, etc. to be included in the next Ceremony.

Approval received today (letter dated 19/03/2019) from Team 2. Application Sent: 30/03/2018 Acknowledgement of Application & returning passport: 11/04/2018 Acknowledgement of Application, supporting docs & fee: 11/06/2018 Letter from the DOJ requiring additional docs & passport: 26/10/2018 Second St...

It is very strange that they don't send approvals as only 1 month left to ceremony

I think it is now probably overbooked!

Good Morning,
Could someone tell me what does it mean if the INIS wrote in the approval letter that "send the required documents within 10 days in order to be considered in the next ceremony"? Does it mean that I will be scheduled for the ceremony of April?
Thanks

Yes!

This is very interesting in order to understand their way of work, checklist, etc.

Thanks for sharing!

I'm just gonna say my hand writing style has developed over the years, and my signature has evolved since the date of issue of the passport?

That's exactly what I wrote them... and it worked! Got a second letter straight after.

Mine is same as u. Waiting to send my file in next batch to minister, But rang last week. They said next ceremony could b in April.. so hopefully they will start to send approval from February 🤞🏻 A couple of lads (in another post here) rang 'em today as and they were told that the next Ceremony wil...

I have also an Italian passport if you are from EU you can also have any other passport with a German one. They said i would get my letter in the next few weeks

Good to know. I've got my second letter back in November and I'm waiting for approval too.

Called them today and got info that I need to prepare Eur950.00 + 2 pics :) hopefully its true. I applied as German passport holder in Jul 2018. Germans can’t have 2 citizenships - why would you abandon your German one and pursue Irish? Germany accepts dual nationality with other member states of t...

Have you got your approval yet?

Just out of curiosity, has anybody received the approval letter (not second stage letter) in 2019?

I have another question if anyone can give me answer that what second stage letter says actually i got letter in jan 2018 said my application has passed initial stage and processed to second stage. Is this the second stage letter? Since that letter i did not get any letter just rang today and they ...

You could be waiting 2 years as well as a few months... there's no timeline really even for straightforward application. For more info you should create your own post so we are not going off-topic on this one

From the INIS website:

From 19th September 2016 anyone applying for a certificate of naturalisation who is aged 18 and above and who is resident in the State, must be registered with the Department of Social Protection for a Public Services Card (PSC).

I got the same letter.
I then wrote a letter explaining that my writing has simply evolved during the years bla bla and it was fine for them. After a few weeks I received my second stage letter.

aaaaand here we are in 2019!

Hopefully the next ceremony will be advertised soon.

Timing-wise that sounds about right considering there's always a ceremony in April/May.

My wife applied for Irish naturalisation in July 2017 and still no decision on her application. Hello did your wife get her second stage letter ? I applied in Oct 17 and haven’t received a second stage letter. I emailed Inis on Fri explicitly asking them was I at 2nd stage as haven’t received a let...
