Mid 2011 Approvals

Post by waitingcitizen » Sat Feb 04, 2012 8:15 pm

Have been speaking to the Citizensip Division in the last few days, As per the conversation I had with them they are now processing applications in chronological order. They are not precise in giving information but one can go by that Mid 2011 applications or later are not any where near approval stage as they still have the backlog to clear. I would say they would first finish with the backlog before they start with the one's applied in Mid 2011. I would appreciate anyone who has much information on this to share their views.

I would say it is by the date submitted. The best option is to have patience and wait. All other quote that you will soon get your approval by so month are only assumptions and only false hope. As applicants the only hope we can have is wait & be positive that it will be done one day.

Guys, I am one of those, who had a ceremony on 2nd Feb.

I must say the long waiting made me feel indifferent at some stage.

However, the day I was born as Irish, was a very happy day. So much efforts, struggling, problems to find a decent job, house etc. - all is over. Finally, I can breathe easy and know, I am free to choose for myself, not to be satisfied with the bread crumbs anymore.

Best of luck to all of you who are still waiting! It will be over very soon! Dont lose hope!

Long life to minister Shatter! He is the man, who put an end to our misery!

Proud to be Irish!

Nopes i don't think the 5 year residency is done fast. I can understand that spouse of irish citizen giving preference but i really don't understand why refugees are fast tracked over 5 year residency.

The 5 year residency candidates practically cannot take any welfare, pay all the taxes and yet have to be delayed. Please understand that i am not against the other applications but i would like to see that all law abiding taxpayers get due credit.

thanks

I understand how you feel.Very much in the same position as you.But i really don't think we can rely on anything anymore,as I see no order in approval letters being sent out to people.You are hoping they will soon start clearing the 2010,whereas I can tell you for sure that both of my parents applied in January and March 2010,respectfully, and have received their CON's on the 28th of July last year,that first wave of approvals,so i dont think anything is in order.One was on stamp 1 and then on stamp 4 and the other on stamp 3 whole of the time here.I also applied at the same time as you,but still waiting.We can only pray we haev luck this coming time.Good luck.:)

agree with you applied in 2009 no response yet, one of my friend was on 3rd February ceremony he applied just 4 weeks before me, i also know one friend she applied 4 weeks before me and no response for het yet. so much for chronologic order.
