[quote="Malika"][quote="diniwid"]Hello everyone,
Im Filipino living in Ireland for 4 years and im currently in Jobseekers benefit. Nxt year im gonna start applying for my naturalization. Is there any chance they may reject or disqualify my application because im getting Jobseekers allowance?as we all know its really hard to get a job at the moment. Im currently training through FAS level 6 Business Administration.
also i wanna know if its true that the process of application is now only 6 months??
Many Thanks

What payment are you getting?
[b]Jobseekers Benefit[/b](Contribution based) This based on your contribution while you were working and is time limited. As far as I have read on these boards, it doesn't affect your application.
or
[b]Jobseekers Allowance[/b] (means-tested) If getting this payment, then there are numerous obstacles put in your way during processing.
hope someone who is more aversed will give you more info.
[b]IQU [/b]where are you? you seem to know many requirements!
[/quote] its quite understandable in this recession alot of people facing the unemployment.is all depend on your work history.how long you worked in state.how long are you clam the job seeker allowance.i think its much better to contribute to irish ecomony rather than depend on socail welfare. i think you should find some kind of part time job and make sure if your claming any socail welfare you should register with fas and try to make every effort to find job. good luck
