It seems like people are only receiving these timelines if they have passed the two year waiting mark and have threaten a JR via a solicitor. They are not sending timelines with regular followups via email. The first warning letter my solicitor sent, we received a generic copy paste response - with ...

If you sent in the application via email you'll get it by email. If you posted the application via mail and want to get the results via email, just email them and tell them. Can any one tell if the response to FOI is received electronically on email or via the normal post ? Thanks in advance !!

How long ago did you email them? Did anyone else make a mistake on the digital photo? In the digital version of my approval letter it clearly stated that I can submit the photo in JPEG and PNG. So I went ahead and paid and uploaded the photo in PNG (also I'm smiling in the photo). The paper version ...

I applied in the same time frame, and with my FOI there was one garda vetting document done. Some people in this forum have had a few garda vetting done (1 per year). It could very well be that they haven't done the garda vetting for you yet. Otherwise it would show. The only other possible explanat...

You email: foi@justice.ie You request a Personal FOI here (as it relates to you): http://www.justice.ie/en/JELR/FOI%20Application%20Form.pdf/Files/FOI%20Application%20Form.pdf You request all records pertaining to your citizenship application and provide the application number. You need to send in a...

By bank statement, are credit card statements issued by banks valid? as those statements are monthly, whereas my bank statements come in once every quarter

Does the copy of Public Service Card need to be verified/notarized/certified? 1. Affidavit - if you used an affidavit for your naturalisation application, you should be able to do the same. I think you are required to explain why you are not able to get an original birth certificate. 4. Proof of add...

Thanks RE: 1) Original birth certificate >>In absence of one, will an affidavit do? If so, do they supply a template to fill one out for this? 2)Original/certified foreign passport if you were not born Irish 3) Proof of entitlement (original FBR/naturalisation certificate) if you were not born Irish...

What are all the extra documentation required for submission a first time applicant?

Has anyone sent in a certified copy of their passport (and faced no issues) instead of sending their actual passport with their application?

And how do you get it officially certified - is that getting it signed/stamped by a notary or solicitor?

That's for people with passports that require a visa on entry. Do you have to apply for it? and if you hold a passport that doesn't require a visa to enter Ireland is it necessary? I'm assuming that they don't return the GNIB/IRP card once we send it in? If you need to travel shortly thereafter, not...

The department is prioritizing applicants who are at their 2+ year mark. When applications reach 2 years, you can take the department to court (which is called a Judicial Review). this is very costly for the department when they lose, so they'll want to clear this backlog. i believe their target to ...

If you need to travel shortly thereafter, not having received the certificate, What do people do?

You can't discuss it publicly on the threads, but you can send people direct messages and ask them on these boards. The only trick is that you must have made at least 30 posts (quality posts, not just writing anything at random), and the person you're sending the message to must have the same status...

most people are paying 1,300 (however there are firms that quote 5k) You can find people sharing quotes on this thread: https://www.immigrationboards.com/ireland/foi-and-an-application-for-an-order-for-mandamus-re-citizenship-delays-t311264.html Guys I would appreciate if anyone can give us some ind...

Use this forum for your question, it's about delays: https://www.immigrationboards.com/ireland/foi-and-an-application-for-an-order-for-mandamus-re-citizenship-delays-t311264.html Hi guys, Am just wondering that me and my wife applied for citizenship same time.

Did anyone receive a digital copy of the Declaration of fidelity to the state?

Approval letter received May 7 2021 (After having done an FOI, and had a solicitor send two JR warning letters) Application Based On: Non-EU spouse of Irish Citizen Applied On: 27/05/2019 Application received On: 28/05/2019 Acknowledgement & Passport Returned On: 29/05/2019 * Application Number & Re...

Do you know this to be absolutely true and routine in the processing stage? This would take a lot of manpower and $. Surely, it's in circumstances where they suspect fraud (and/or what seems to be discriminating based on nationality) They absolutely can request information from another countries and...

FOIs are routine. They have 24k applications. Many people are requesting it. I highly doubt they are that organised to take personal action on your application. An FOI is a right. It's not "annoying" the department, it's your right. Some people on these threads have found mistakes and corrected them...

They have a lot of FOIs to deal with. They quote everyone with a date, and then miss the date. It's routine. Just follow up by email, so your FOI doesn't fall through the cracks. Expect to wait another 4 weeks to get it. Last month I made a request FOI on citizenship file and they wrote in their ack...

How are you so certain? do you have proof to back this up? And how is the new streamlined process making it easier? Do they actually check with foreign authorities? And if so, what are they checking? Are you100% sure this happens? or is this a myth.... I haven't seen anything in the FOIs on this nor...
