2015 Citizenship Approvals

[caveman]

Hi Everyone

Not sure if I missed this information or probably there is another thread on this......My question is: Would anyone have an or knowledge of more approvals going out cos it's been quite for some days now and haven't heard much outside this forum. This might be a bit premature so I beg your indulgence but any ideas or knowledge on the next probable date of citizenship ceremony? I've got a trip coming up in first week of October as it is.....

Thanks

The next citizenship ceremony is likely to come up late September or early October. Just a good guess please.

The letter fromthe INIS is simple and self explanatory enough. Depending on the severity of your offence committed, you should explain circumstances leading you to commit such and all efforts you've made to rehabilitate yourself and not to indulge/commit such offence again. Get a letter from your GP practice and/or current utility bills for you and spouse as proofs of residence. Also explain your employment history and the dates you were engaged in employment and the dates you became unemployed. More importantly, since you're out of job, you will need to state how you've been sustaining you/your family living and if you're getting any form of social welfare assistance, go get a latter from the social welfare office in your location stating your form of payment. You may also need to put copies of job applications you made to prove you're actively searching for a job. If you're lucky enough, you may be approved for your naturalisation certificate after sending the information they requested from you or worst still, you may have your application decision deferred for 6 - 18months depending on the seriousness of your offence. The onus is on you to ensure you keep your resident visa/permission up to date otherwise, you'll become illegal in the state if you don not renew your stay permission on the expiration and that will further affect/delay a decision on your citizenship application. Best of luck!

@KinddomMan------would be great if it would happen within the time frame you suggested, My assumption was that they give a full month notice prior to the ceremony date. Would be ecstatic if that were to happen as you suggested as that would work very well with my well deserved trip!!!!
Thanks man

Belfastni, there is a poster on this thread (a few pages back) that applied from NI and has been approved. Application was in Sept 2014 and approval was May/June 2015. He had the ceremony in July. So, don't give up hope! I've applied from the north also, but I only applied in May 2015, so no timeline yet that would be helpful.

[indoire]

Hello guys,

Has anyone rang them for asking about ceremony date ? If they gave any hint ?

Thanks,

[camisu]

A lady told me on the phone that there is No ceremony yet Maybe in October bicos is mainly every 90 Days.

[araja]

Hi, I got the same letter but this was in late January. I applied 3/07/2014, still waiting for approval.
At this stage I don't even know what to do anymore. After I got that letter in January to ask why I committed those offences, I replied back Immediately, got a confirmation, and still waiting. It's over a year now since I applied.

[camisu]

@Adekizy1: We are on the same boat , I also applied in June 2014. I also wrote to them in my own word base on the offenses committed. Am 14/15 months now waiting for decisions. They keep repeating the same thing. I think is better to ignore them bicos they dont give ppl the accurate reply, there is no transparency in the application update they just tell u whatever they like .They think ppl are foolish for calling them .Seating on ppl application for nothing, is absurd. They should just give a prompt answer is stead of messing with ppl emotions. Crap

[Rio29]

Guys it happen to my friend he has done two conviction even abroad from Ireland and they did that to him sending same letters again and again , explain what you did ?

this question for the guys have you tried to call guys ? did they said anything to you ? he called and they told him his application waiting to go to minster

[Rio29]
