Irish citizenship references question

[broli]

HI folks,

My Irish referees filled the referral form in blue pen is this OK ?

Should that be in in Black pen and Capital letters like the application form ?



Thanks

What do you mean by "...like the application form..."? The references section is part of the application form and hence the black pen/writing in block capitals rule applies to it as well.

It may not be a big deal and they might actually accept it as it is, but I personally wouldn't do it and risk delays in the application. When I was working on my application, I brought my own pen while meeting with each referee and specifically asked them to write in block letters. I also did that with the solicitor at the end.

I don't think it's a big deal - as I had the same issue in my app, and it didn't cause any problem as I'm in the second stage at the moment.
Good Luck

What's your timeline like and how long has it been so far? Are you also experiencing any delays?

I haven't applied myself, however, I know some of the people who are waiting and experiencing delays. One of my friends was telling me yesterday, that he knows about a person who sued the immigration authorities back in the past, because they were holding his wife's passport, and he won the case. Immigration released thousands of passports after that. Looks like they need to be sued by someone again.

I hope they realise how frustrating it can be for someone waiting for a long time.

Good luck to you!
