Hi guys,
Any idea if more approvals are coming or expected soon.

[zoie777777]

dawntodusk```my e vetting disclosure have been viewed, following the timeline it seems approvals can maybe expected by the end of the month. have you received vetting link yet? and if it was, has it's been viewed by inis?

[Dawntodusk]

I just received my FOI file copy, and they did garda vetting manually in February and it came up with no conviction stamp on it, in march. So, i don't know how long further needs to wait.

I think there isnt a problem with traffic criminal record as far as it is once in a life time. Other then that is serious .. relating the disclosure @farraan has got his vetting done and rest has also been disclosed as per this forum. Mine was disclosed in June so hopefully next week some approvals would be on the way.

Secondly I think CMU based approvals are been observed. When you see approvals on large basis it's merely all CMU's but on a small lots it's normally from CMU4 only. I have not seen any cmu5 or 6 approval on a bulk basis in the last 7 weeks. Hopefully soon IA

@downtodusk...regarding your vetting my manuel vetting was done some stage in the last year when i asked to get FOI at that time. However computer based evetting is part of the application process from now on which mean if we like it or not we would have to go through this process too. that's what i did get with my understanding.

A critical aspect of the character assessment is a vetting disclosure from the National Vetting Bureau. From 30th March 2021 all new applicants are required at the appropriate time to provide authorisation to Citizenship Division to issue an eVetting invitation to them. Applicants who submitted an application prior to 30th March 2021 may be requested to complete an authorisation and will be contacted in writing by Citizenship Division.

Yeah, you are right. Am much familiar with the e-vetting already. I was expecting to receive the invitation but i just realised when i received my FOI copy. i just share my manual garda vetting experience from 2021, which was sent out in February 2021 and came back in march 2021to citizenship department with no convictions stamp on it .
I will not be surprise if they will do it as a evetting for this year again but i dont think so they will do it as a normal practice ...!
But just wondering, if somebody have any clue that when will be next batch of approval comming or expecting.

dawntodusk. just saw a approval (smilmee) has got his application approved last week, so it seems they are sending individual basis instead of bulk.
march 2021 vetting you have stated no conviction were found on foi, had'nt you got 3 points?

Hi .. sorry brother if you are talking about my approval, I'm surprised to see your comment. I've never said I got an approval yet. Its still pending. My evetting was disclosed in 18 June and still no news.

[zoie777777]

Smilemee thanks very much for letting me know and I do feel sorry you hadn't received anything yet. I've seen an approved application (of hennah) and I mixed up it with you, hopefully you and everyone of us will get it soon
