So I believe they will send out the invitation letter for Dec in 2-3 weeks. This doesn't mean I will get the positive reply though as I had some court fines which they asked me to submit the receipt for few weeks back.
Lets see and I will keep you posted.
By the way I have applied in July 2011 on the basis of 5 years residency (was 7 years in my case)
Thanks
How many weeks ago were you sent the letter from inis to submit the receipt? and did you get an acknowledgement of your submission?

Well actually they haven't ask me to submit receipts by post but I came to know by calling helpline so I submitted the receipts. It was before 10 days I have sent the receipts and on Monday I got the acknowledgement.

What do they mean by "Ready for Ceremony" and "will update on any shortfall"?
I was told these two words when I called them last time.
Any ideas guys?

Eventually I got hold of someone through citizenship helpline last Thursday . I unfortunately have some court fines for traffic offences in 2004. They said that they are going to send me the letter for submitting the receipt of those fines. They didn't give out any other information so I am now worried.
Hello again,
Have anyone have experienced case like mine? Please share.
Thanks,
Im in the same boat as you.
I commited a traffic offence back in 2003, got summons and was in court.
I paid my fine and got penalty points.
Now bear in mind that was nearly 10 years ago, and i was told when i rang them last week that i was ready for ceremony but unfortunately my case needs to reviewed again due to traffic offences:(
I dont know what will happen now, its all in the hands of who ever will review my file again..
Fingers crossed all goes well
Did you disclose the traffic fines in your citizenship application form?
Hi,
No i didnt disclose it for a genuine reason as i completly forgot.As it happend so long time ago, i didnt even think about any offences when i was filing out the form.
No that i am regular offender, so it slipped my mind.
I honestly dont know why such a minor thing from the past could make a problem now.
Regards

That means if your application is a standard one, you will get an invitation for December ceremony. In that case you will get the letter within 2 weeks. Could you please inform us when did you apply?

I hope I get called for ceremony for dec .

They usually say Garda report when they have nothing to say , which is the the case of the time . i wonder if they pale each others hair down there

This is really ridiculous applicants from Jan 2012 got their approval and naturalization cert at the 15 Oct ceremony and some are waiting since 2009

Well apparently the INIS have to stick to their 6 months promise to the 2012 applicants , it is even mentioned in there Ref letter , that they will receive a decision in 6 months .
But sure eventually we are getting a response could not be more than what we already have waited so no harm

I applied in 2012 and it doesnt say anything about 6 months. yes they are processing new applications quicker but stil not within 6 months. may be some application .

Guys,
1) any idea, how long it takes the application to process if applied on Irish Spouse basis? Applied in Sept 2012 & paid 175 euros.
Any body who applied on the basis of Irish spouse and get the approval, can you share the timelines details?
In the reference letter they did not mention any timelines.

Well the thing is they asked me to submit passport copy of my spouse but I got divorced in last Jan and I've got stamp4 on my new circumstances and I've sent them copy of divorce decree and a copy of my new stamp hope they won't make any issue. Good luck to all waiting for approvals

Why you want translate CON?
The CON is used just in ireland or by Irish Embassies, Irish passport is the document you will be asked by other countries.
