Are you sure you are talking online with Ms. Perfect from Poland and not with Mr. Scam from Nigeria? No disrespect to any country but I guess you know what I mean. If you want to live in Ireland with her, she must come to Ireland, work and exercise her EU treaty rights to sponsor you. If you just wa...
anything to be worried about that i haven't explicitly received a 2nd stage letter? i applied in oct 2017 and the only proactive communication i received from inis was in april 2018 saying: "Your application is currently being processed in the normal way with a view to establishing whether you meet...
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...
I rang today and was told that my application is finished and just waiting to be sent to Minister for decision... Didn't you ask why it is not being sent then? I have been told the exact same thing since August, file is complete,somebody just have to sign it off from here and send for approval. Got...
Protests can be counterproductive sometimes but not always, but at least it will bring attention to everybody that there is something need to be corrected. Nowadays there is a big reform agenda within the Ministry of Justice & Equality (splitting them into two, perhaps this will help to improve). A...
Nothing personal, all discussions here are efforts to try to shed more lights on issues face and express personal opinions. In my opinion; It is already selective exercise of discretion if someone else who applied after me and gets his/her application approved. As an applicant to a state department ...
Hi all, I just want to congratulate all those active members of this forum who today finally managed to get over the line. I wish you all the best and a happy life. Please remain active on this forum to provide your feedback to the new members and more importantly please keep raising your voice to p...
Hey everyone, I just wanted to add my point of view to the thread. First of all, I do get your frustrations and understand why some of you are anxious waiting to get approved or not. It's certainly a very stressing process to go through. The only piece I'm struggling to understand is what are you p...
makhtar terrible idea !! don't ruin one of the biggest day for your fellow applicants just because you didn't get yours yet! imagine people happily walking out with their certs and see people protesting plus you need a permission for protest that you wont get and if you did one without permission y...
Ok guys. Got my invitation today. Post will hopefully be delivered tomorrow. No need to build up hopes as I got it through judicial process. I will post in detail about the process I went through on or after 26th. This forum helped a lot in my legal proceedings. Especially Timelines and then invita...
Yes, if your husband satisfies the criteria of child benefit entitlement then he can apply. There is some sort of preference that these benefits are transferred to the mother's account but it is not mandatory. Child benefits of my kid are paid in my bank account rather than my wife's because when I ...
Thanks for the reply. So indeed it sounds almost impossible without any evidence. The only evidence i was thinking of is street CCTV images of my parents with me in Dublin Ireland. However firstly i don't think they keep CCTV footage for decades and secondly back when i was born CCTV cameras weren'...
Can a person travel with stamp 6 (irish citizen) on their non eu passport along with copy of naturalisation certificate without a re entry visa if their irish passport has not been issued yet? Travelling to third country like India, Pakistan Bangladesh. Obviously you won’t have a problem at Irish p...
Hi In the Residency Calculator I must enter start date and end date for each year, but in the passport I can find only the end date and there is no starting date, there is only a stamp with date of the day that we get each GNIB card so does that consider the starting date? could you help me please?...
hi I was just inquiring why a second set of passport photos need to be sent with the €950 payment. I thought the certified photos sent with the initial application were all that were required. The photo must be less than 6 months old so if you applied more than 6 months ago they will require a new ...
By Indian origin, I meant Indian/Pakistani/Bangladeshi married to Latvian/Lithuanian/Romanian, as these cases have been on news lately. Also, it appears that after brexit people mainly from the Indian subcontinent (who are now British National) are using Ireland as a backdoor by exercising EU treaty...
anyone from 2016 got approval letter ? paddy_leprechaun rockyguy iceice304 syjem No approval yet for me either. I have been told that it is advanced stage since August but till now it didn't move. I believe that for some reasons we are not welcomed in the country but the department doesn't have rea...
anyone from 2016 got approval letter ? paddy_leprechaun rockyguy iceice304 syjem @Mal111, the latest information I have been told by INIS phone line is that my file was ready for submission but somehow it didn't get submitted. Everything is fine and I will be definitely invited in the next ceremony...
Thanks for the advise I am not sure myself whether it is a good idea or a terrible one. Just thinking out loud on the pros and cons; Pros: 1. If a copy of the file is provided it is some sort of guarantee that the file is not lost 2. As they are supposed to provide all notes/reports as well, the app...
Before a legal action, it might be a good idea to ask a copy of your file under the freedom of information act, which bounds the department to give you all documents, reports and even remarks on your application. Can you please let us know how can we ask for a copy of my file from the citizenship o...
Applied on the basis of Irish Associations in October of 2017. Received request for passport and police report in January of 2018, and was informed February 2018 that I was in the final stage and that my application had been sent to the Minister. Sent a follow-up e-mail in September of 2018, receiv...

I agree that there could be multiple reasons for applications being delayed. But since most the so-called investigations are about the past acts of the applicants, what is the harm in telling the applicant that "a court case is pending against you, so we won't take a decision until that is clear" or...
