Naturalisation Stuck at Garda Vetting

[dublinmtb]

Hi everyone,

I applied for my naturalisation at the end of May, 2024.
Garda Vetting (Disclosure Viewed): in the beginning of December, 2024.

My portal shows Garda Vetting Initiated in the Detailed Status with last update at the end of November 2024.

Many people who applied even 5 months after I did, got their approvals and I feel there might be something wrong with my application. No additional documents were asked. I also don't have any criminal convictions. When I raised a query in the portal they told me it's still in processing. But there's no progress whatsoever.

Is there anyone in a similar situation? Or any idea what might have delayed my application?

There's no straightforward asnwer as to "why is my application delayed".

I waited for 2 years until my application was approved, for example.
Send them a query from time to time and see how it goes. If you pass the 19 month threshold, you can see if you want to go IE JR route, but you're a long way off from that.

not sure why but you seem to have a second e-vetting request as you posted in the timeline tracker? is this a mistake ? if not, i would say you will need to wait the usual time

I don't really know. No reason was stated. I just received the e-vetting link again and my solicitor told me to go through it. I hope it works this time.
