When you at initial stage, that's when they use such text and when you get to further processing department, that's when report's is been collated from various outside agencies before sending them forward to the minister for approval.

Furthermore, please be aware that, each individual country in the European super state has jurisdiction in determining their naturalization system not remotes by any members state, once approved you will then become Irish/European citizen.

Hope that help a bit.

Just for interest sake for those monitoring waiting times:

I Applied in Feb 2011 based on 5 years residency, Additional information was requested from me in March 2011, Approval received April 2012 along with request for fee and the invitation to ceremony in June 2012.
After 11 years of living in the EU with a non EU passport I am finally on the road to no more travel visa's and restrictions! Could not be happier!!

I asked a question a few weeks ago on this forum but nobody gave me an answer to it.
Is it correct that some people receive approval letters together with the invitation to a ceremony?I received my approval letter and a request to send the 950 and no invitation to a ceremony, posted the money biggining of April and have not heard from them with regard to the ceremony or acknowledgement of receipt of the money, can someone clarify.
Thanks

Yes,that is correct.It just depends how lucky you are to recieve both.I recieved my own approval letter together with invitation to ceremony and other details and second piece of paper,which is actually a form,asking for 950 e and other things and the adress you send it to was included.Quite a lot of people got it that way,yellow(like my own),pink,blue coloured letters.I would say u wont fall into this June ceremony(as fee and phots and gnib have to be sent to them by 11th of May in order to attend June ceremony)but rather later,so im sure they will issue you invitation later on,for the next one possibly.I wouldn't worry,but if u sent it by registered post,you can check on the post office website with the tracking number as to when your letter was recieved in citizenship section and by which officer.So u clearly have proof they got it.Anyway good luck for the invitation.At least you dont have to worry over approval anymore.

Even if you owned the department of taoiseach, Irish citizenship is granted base on common good, good character, not posing a threat to the state and the ogra entirety and Irish naturalization is also granted by the minister discretional power dated back to the ministarial and secretary act 1922 and the citizenship act of 1956 contrary to the immigration and protection bill 2008. Hope that answers your question a bit in more elaborate manner, goodluck and all the best.

I am from May 2010. Recently got LTR 2 weeks ago, and now still waiting for citizenship response.

Even after getting LTR they are saying to me that for naturalization your Garda Report is waiting
And they are saying this for the last 6 months to me

And they are saying this for the last 6 months to me

alpha_1 --> Send them your LTR approval. Mention to them that garda report is done on LTR and that it would speed up the process. This would help you. Btw did you pay the 500 quid and also got your GNIB stamped etc ? if So send all those details to them ..

Actually my visa is valid till next year, so I'v not stamped the passport yet.


But I already sent them the LTR cert copy. I told them that garda report is done, but its strange that when I spoke to INIS dept, first they said that they will request the garda report from LTR, and then later I called again to ask if they have requested that report or not, then they said that, they will not request garda report from LTR dept.

Now I don't know why they are providing contradictory answers to me, when 1 of their colleague says something and other says something else.

It does not make any sense to me.

The most frustrating part of INIS is inconsistent answers .. however i guess LTR garda would go to them .. dont worry thats why citizenship is much faster if u get a LTR .. good luck .. keep us posted on how it works out ..

That's wonderful skyegirl, wonders shall never end, infact i applied in october 2010 and was informed that, if i dont submit my country birth certificate they'll not pass it through and allocate reference number, in january 2011 i got it sorted by my mom and sent to me by DHL, february 2011 i was allocated a reference number for initial stage, and in february 2012 i gave them a call to ascertained what the story was, i was informed to send them proof of address which i sent, then i was allocated a new reference number from further processing department, that was it, now we have to start asking now, is there any chronological order processing at all ?

I Applied for citizenship on 8/2011, i got a letter today saying no continous residence for a year because my previous stamp expired on 29/7/2011 and new one on 01/8/2011. So there is a gap of 3 days in between stamps...
