Re: Citizenship applications from 2017 pending approval

same response for me as well. Application finalized they are now preparing lists for sending decisions. Asked if I am included in the list, she said I don't know. Asked again does it mean I am not included in the list, she said no one is in the list yet, we are still preparing. Then a typical rattle...

Re: Citizenship applications from 2017 pending approval

I was told since October 2018 that my file is with Minister and up till now it’s there. No idea why it’s taking too long. Did they tell you in writing that your file is submitted to Minister or only verbal on phone inquiry? I was told the same on the phone during last year for a few weeks and then ...

Re: Citizenship applications from 2017 pending approval

Yeah, I mentioned a couple of posts before that a girl in a facebook group I am part of, updated that she got her approval letter on the 18t of Feb (issued on the 15th). She applied in Nov 2017 as EU. However, my theory is just a guess of how they work... Yes, I read that post. Was just asking beca...

Re: Citizenship applications from 2017 pending approval

Just got through and got the same reply as Anira. I wonder how long we have to wait :( It appears that whoever sits on INIS helpline depending on their personality and mood they provide almost the same word to word response to everyone. Perhaps, all those who call regularly are in the same boat. ;)

Hi Littlerr, Wasn't your application already submitted to the Minister as per last week update? Did they keep the same story for you this week that it is submitted or avoided to say that but rather say completed/well-advanced etc.? Just asking as it is common for them to tell you a different story e...

Re: Citizenship applications from 2017 pending approval

Initially, I was of the opinion it is pure laziness or incapability of bureaucrats. But now I strongly believe it is a well-engineered policy with a combination of laziness, randomness, and disguise to covertly keep the anti-immigrant policy intact and limit the numbers below certain numbers and obv...

Citizenship Application Processing Stages and Freedom of Information

Hi all, Just to update you guys on my experience with INIS and requesting freedom of information on my file. I hope this helps others to understand the INIS system and reduce the amount of speculations. I applied in September 2017 and still waiting to get a decision, I asked for a copy of my file un...

Re: delay in citizenship application - applied in 2016

Is any one received approval for the next ceremony especially those who were on advance stage. I don't understand the advance stage if some one still waiting for decision from the last 4 or 5 five months. :lol: I guess they only start sending approvals when it is near to the ceremony. So everybody ...

Re: Citizenship applications from 2017 pending approval

The same story for me as well, being prepared for submission and will be sent to Minister soon. I guess that big pile of files is still lying somewhere and not catching anybody's attention yet. I assume, in a month time or so they might spend a few hours or a day work to send the selected files to M...

i know, i mean the quoted scenario is not talking about naturalization, but since with naturalization approval i send the card to inis I think this scenario works as well. And i also think I can't apply for a re-entry visa while having card with me 'just in case', but I might check with the re-entr...

We had a response from a TD who contacted INIS on our behalf, they said in their reply it is not uncommon for applications to take 2 years or more.. ridiculous. Do you have a response from the department in writing? If so it can be easily used as a proof for judicial review against the department t...

Re: Citizenship applications from 2017 pending approval

I agree with you, most of time the team answering phone calls simply speculate, I am not sure if it has ever an impact to shake up your application. Becasue people answering phone and processing application are totally different teams. But at the same time when you are suffering from anxiety and dep...
