September Citizenship Ceremony 2019

[zaza7625]

Hi all.
Can someone tell me what is the next stage called after second stage letter. What happens after second stage letter?

Thanks

The stages are not set in stone. The stage after second stage is advanced stage where the processing is finished and the file is waiting to be approved by supervisor and then passed to minister for signing.
One think that surely will happen after second stage is wait. Be patient

Hi guys,

So I received my letter to say the "minister intends to grant your" to which of course I promptly responded with everything they needed and paid (within 2 days). I also had this sent via registered post and have several emails confirming the photos and payment was received.

However since then, I have received nothing and I am sure like the rest of you - am anxiously awaiting my invitation to the ceremonies. I applied last year August and honestly, this entire process has taken a lot longer than it did for several of my friends who applied (Zimbabwean/US/UK citizen) - I realise each application is unique (and Brexit & the cour ruling has probably delayed everything further) but this limbo has been pretty tough.

Just to confirm, no one has received an invitation yet? I have anxiously been checking the post everyday.

Just gotta stay positive I guess.

Hi Phaedra, just to let you know I am in exactly the same place -- got letter in May, sent fee and photos registered post. Just got an email confirming they received the fee and documents after nearly 4 months of enquiring. No news on a ceremony yet.

Hi
I did what you did in June but i did not goy any email from them

thanks. But one thing i am interested in is , when my case went to second stage, i got the letter for that. does any other letter exist when the case goes to the next stage? Like, letter for approval, or letter for advances investigation?

Thanks

Also unclear why all sorts of queries are being posted in this thread when it is specifically for the September ceremony and those who got approval and invite!!!

Thank you for sharing.
It's good that I've found this page, that saves me from keeping calling the office twice a week every week.

Guys, just because you keep calling does not mean that they will have an answer for you. The people at the end of the phone probably have about as much information as any of us. All you are doing is delaying people getting through to INIS that are looking for a genuine update on their application.
Given the current situation, it is common sense that the September ceremony is unlikely to go ahead as they simply won't have enough time to issue approvals and invites in time for end of September as the issue that has caused this delay still has to be dealt with first and foremost.

You will not get genuine update by phone. I am calling from last 1 year. Every week I get different story.

I think currently they are not doing any work and just waiting for the update on Court decision

You just said it yourself they have no real information. Sometimes you get lucky and they tell you something they shouldn’t but generally it the same thing every time you call.

Also people need to stop looking at the boards for whether or not approvals have been sent out. There is plenty of people that received approval and is waiting for invitation including myself.

Whether it’s a go ahead or not will be decided on their website. Killarney convention still said it’s a go ahead. Even if they where to cancel they’ll most likely reschedule sooner rather then later. So many people have sent out the ids

As lax as their responses maybe, I very much doubt they are not working.

In my mind, the approved list for the ceremony has been made and they are waiting for confirmation for
go-ahead.

[Fountainhill]

Well ...well ...Why should a person not call . Everybody is in doubt . So calling and asking on the board has no negative effect on ones application . It gives hope to those that are waiting .

So, basically, they’re not in too much of a rush. No idea how this leaves the upcoming ceremonies. If they aren’t going to approve any more applications, or confer citizenship on those already approved, until the law is passed why not just say so and update their website accordingly?

[aneelrahim]

I am still hopefully until they put something on website.

May be the people who get approval before court rulling get invitation for
Small ceremony like waterford ceremony.

There is no harm to see dreams.

[eraylankester]

The minister would have known the typical timescales for passing similar legislation when making the July statement, so stating that the September ceremony was intended to proceed must mean that it was considered a possibility, even if the legislation wasn’t passed.

INIS will need to announce something this week - currently both INIS and Killarney websites give the 30th as the next date, with Killarney encouraging people to reserve accommodation. There must be hundreds of people who paid and submitted cards etc. They are likely (in my opinion) trying to hold off until they can confirm a rescheduled date in the same announcement.

The approvals given out are conditional approvals. They will not be valid until the oath taken in the ceremony. So they cannot call those people for ceremony until the legislation is passed

[eraylankester]

Depends on the definition of a ministerial ‘decision’, which is distinct from an approval. Ministerial decisions are usually not retrospectively affected by new legal judgments. But that’s one for the constitutional experts/legal team lol.

Either way, INIS need to say something this week. Hopeful that if the ceremony is postponed it will only be until October at the latest.

I keep searching daily on the news, finally I've found this article:

[Nre123]

Based on this i dont think there would be any sep ceremony or even any ceremony this year !! Minister says he will discuss this with opposition etc in coming weeks !!

About your idea we still without gnip until that

Any news since? Nearly 3 weeks to go

[Yadedeyesika]

In the meantime, I decided to book accommodation in Killarney anyway. There is the possibility to cancel with no charge up to one week before date of staying. Accommodation prices are normal on the week before and the week later, while they are dearer around those days.

I also have booked the hotel in Killarney last week.

But most chances are that I have to cancel it one week before the Sept ceremony.

Any news since? Almost there but not sure

[aneelrahim]

Still waiting and no confirmation yet.
