delay in citizenship application - applied in 2016

[Finepaddy]

I would say MEDIA is the best Option, to show the public what is going on with some of the applicants without any reason, how to get the contact details of MEDIA?

Yes, agreed.
Simply type in the name of the news paper or other media with the key word contact and it will come up on google for you e.g Irish Times contact etc. I have recently done it myself.

How much time does it take for Judicial Review process?

Between 2 to 4 months.
Roughly 10 citizenship ceremonies gone after 2016 and Still not sure if applicants from 2016 will be included in up coming citizenship ceremonies.

Any body know currently how many applications from 2016 pending?

Members are reminded to desist from asking other members for personal contact information, regardless of the reason or good intention. Everyone here is a complete stranger, with many scammers and spammers here daily, and any abuse of the PM function will result in withdrawal of the PM privilege permanently.

Any body from 2016 got approval in these days?

[Captainf]

Nope dear....

Thanks. No didn't do anything except wait and send them the occasional email to ask for update on my case.

Applied in september 2016, got my 2nd stage letter in april 2017. No communication after that till 2 days ago when I got the approval letter.

So waiting as well can help, I applied Feb 2018 and you know how it is hard to see approvals from late 2018 and even 2019.We queue every where why dont we queue here as well, there should be a way to prioratise things.

I applied in August 2016, got 950euro draft letter on 23rd of January 2020, hoping to get invitation for the next ceremony this year. All after 3 years long wait, I think they are no more dealing the applications within 6 months, they are back to 3 years delay application process. so take it easy now, no need to torture yourself and your life. Chill you will get it on time.
best of luck guys.

Not all applications have that long delay. Probably the process is not very straightforward and depends who and when is looking at your application.
I for example, applied in the middle of July 2019 and got approval a few days ago, that's roughly 6 months.

Hdsgnr congrats - what was your timeline?

Hdsgnr congrats - what was your timeline?

Thanks!

I applied in the middle of July 2019, got my second stage letter around the end of October (I think?), and finally the approval on 26th of January. Roughly 6 months.

I guess a big chunk of my lifetime luck allowance was spent to get it so fast.

Anyway, I wish you all the best!

Thanks for letting me know. Looks like an official letter from a solicitor who threatens them with JR will work
