Naturalisation

Post by sanum » Sat Sep 22, 2012 12:10 pm

Hi everyone,
I am due to apply for naturalisation in Dec this year as a spouse of an I rish citizen but I have some short comings and different people have been giving me different opinions. I satisfied all the requirements except that I have never worked in Ireland and I only recently started getting job seekers` allowance from May this year. I originally objected to it but because all my genuine efforts over the years to find a job failed, I decided to take up a course with VTOS but was told I had to be on social for a minimum of 6months to be eligible and now I don`t know whether to go ahead with my application or to forget it altogether. Presently, I am doing a short course with Vec while on awaiting list for the VTOS` one.
I contacted justice dept and asked them if I could apply regardless and was told that anyone who meets the statutory requirements can apply. Pls if you have gone through a similar situation or know anyone who has,
your advice is greatly welcomed.

Thanks.

There's no reason why you shouldn't apply. Being in receipt of Jobseeker's Allowance is not, according to law, a reason to refuse an application for naturalisation.

LOL, u r tricking the state every week for social welfare money....So what if they trick you for €175 naturalization application fee..... However, you can apply for naturalization, regardless of if you are working or not.

The words you use reveal a lot more about yourself than what you are trying to convey.

People who utilize the options that they are legally entitled to, are not tricking anyone!

@zafarzafar80: The sarcasm in your statement is shameful behavior for what this forum stands for.
