Hi I am on same boat as you are. they told same thing to me.

[Stress]

They did not give me a date for the submission.

I contacted the TD via email initially and then a person from his office called me to get more detail.

TD is a member of Dáil Éireann (member of parliament). You can find the TDs of your constituency at https://www.whoismytd.com

Have you got approval letter?

[Stress]

Hi please advised me about 6 weeks rule. i am bit confuse about it. i never been outside ireland for 6 years until 2018. i have submitted my application on august 2016 still awaiting for approval. now this year i need to go to my home country for some personal reason for atleast 3 months does 6 weeks rule will apply on my case???

[Mal111]

well technically it shouldn't because this period is not from the years you are claiming your 5 years including one years continues residency from.
but! as things are these days they can use any excuse to delay or refused citizenship so I think best course of action is you send them an email and ask hypothetically something like following


hi I would like to know IF I travel for more then 6 weeks in 2018 would it effect my naturalisation application.

and wait for their reply first make sure you don't call send email so you will have a reply in writing from them

Folks,
I have just talked to the citizenship office and I have been told that my application is at advanced stage of processing and it has been prepared to be submitted for the minister. The lady on the phone mentioned that I should hear from them shortly about the decision. BTW, I am getting same response since Feb this year.

[nojoyfrominis]

I also have been getting the same response since feb/mar this year that it is in advanced stage of processing and ready to be submitted. I really doubt it means anything.

anybody received approval letter here? any news for ceremony?

I have asked them on the phone yesterday and they said that there will be another ceremony before the end of this year so I think it might be November and they could start rolling some approvals next month.

Do you know what is the meaning of advanced stage?
I think it means that the applications has been compiled and it is now decision-pending status which means either has been submitted to the minster or queued to be submitted. I am hoping that my application will reach a conclusion soon and be considered for the next ceremony.

had a quick call with them just now - I almost laughed: "you will hear from us in the future" - "how far future?" I've asked
Anyway, he said they have a HUGE backlog.
Continuing to chill as no other option really.

doesn't mean much tbh: "you're on the right track, all is fine, a huge queue of applicants before you, so relax and wait".
