I have received my invitation today. I had receive approval in the beginning of the Jan.
The invitation letter is confirmation of attendance to the ceremony so I do not need to send anything back to INIS to confirm my attendance etc.
Has anyone received the same sort of letter?
Thanks
This was the same thing that happened to me. I received approval early November 2012 and got only invitation letter 4 days to the december ceremony 2012.
congrats!

I got same type of letter. Invitation and no need to send back any confirmation. For me it is so, because I had already got my approval back in November 2012 and had sent the 950 euro, GNIB and photos in November.

It is a purple color letter for me.

Hope that helps.
Thanks for info. Much appreciated.

Hi
Did you receive ceremony/invitation letter with approval at first place?
Did you send documents/draft etc without any ceremony date?

Thanks

naturalization HELP please

Post by Afrocommonwealth » Wed Feb 13, 2013 3:45 pm

Just submitted an app on 4th feb 2013 as an Irish spouse living in island of Ireland and received acknowledge letter three 5 days after. Saying we have received your app and your application has not been examined in full and we will be unable to confirm if you meet the statutory conditions for naturalisation until a further examination takes place.

Just today l received another letter saying:
Your app has now been initially assessed and has been proceeded successfully to the second stage of processing. Your case will be submitted to Minister for decision as soon as our enquiries are complete all required documentation has been received.

I am being requested to submit a criminal reference check from Police in Northern Ireland. on receipt of the above we will be in a position to further proceed with the processing of your application.

Just wondering if l'm on the right track and will the application be dealt with as soon as they receive the requested criminal check?

Please explain.
Regards

Your application is being dealt with now, but should stop in certain months to come if Northern Ireland's criminal reference check is not submitted to them.

They will write you again in future if you still haven't submitted the criminal check from Northern Ireland Police, but that will delay your application like hell.

Naturalization explanation

Post by Afrocommonwealth » Wed Feb 13, 2013 5:30 pm

Thanks for you response.
How many stages are there in naturalization processing?
Do you think my app will continue to be processed as long as they have received the criminal ref check and also be decided on time?

Just reading here and wonder what preference inis have.
Most of the people that were granted citizenship applied either on 5 year residence basis or refugees.
Im here over 10 years but i only applied in 2011 as a spouse of irish citizenship.

Still no joy, and my case is pretty straight forward.
I really do not understand on what chronological order inis operates.
It seems to me first applied, last served.

I just cant understand how people are getting approvals that applied in late 2011 and 2012 and earlier applicants are left behind??

I dont think INIS like Spouse of Irish Nationals that much. I have never seen or heard a case where their applications were processed relatively fast/normal!.

INIS should prioritise the application of Spouse of Irish Nationals!. They have direct connections to Irish!

Hi,
Yes I have received my approval on 2nd Jan. I have then sent all necessary docs and fees straight away. Only 2 days back I have received the invitation for ceremony.
By the way, I have applied in July 2011 on basis of 5 years (was 7 in my case then) stamp 4 + Irish association
Hope that helps
Thanks

Folks
Does anyone know that it is possible to get back garda card after ceremony? Or even when you are waiting for ceremony? I have to travel for business few times in this week and do not want to take risk without garda card.
Not sure it will be a problem though.
Any ideas?

Sorry, may I ask why you need to get a criminal reference check from the Police in NI? Just never heard of the INIS asking for criminal checks from other countries

I disagree with you, He can get a Garda covering note. I have seen it happen to my own sister last year. She submitted her GNIB, but needed to travel to the USA for a business trip b/4 her ceremony, she was given a Grada covering letter. I suggest you take a pass on issues that you don't have provable facts on.

Hello Newbie, welcome to Immigrationboards.com. The question was if he could get back Garda Card after ceremony Or even when you are waiting for ceremony!. In which I said no, avoiding not to make short story long, and you're doing the exactly opposite at the moment!.

Again it is highly impossible to get back your GNIB card after ceremony Or even when you are waiting for ceremony! Understood?

Next time try and read the questions properly or learn about Irish Citizenship/Immigration before you start making your nonsensical suggestions.

Mr INIS Consultant,

Pls, can you carefully read the words in bold, since you want to expose your grammar and analytically brain, bring it on The narrative here is that this guys needs to travel before the ceremony, he has a concern, but did not address the question properly, but it is clear enough for any lettered person with a genuine mind of helping to understand the happenings in INIS as you have claimed to know. My understand of this forum is for people to be in the right perspective of happenings and see problems that others have had and learn form it, and not to be sacastic about answers like "It is not possible! Simple and short", Are you The Justice Minister? Pls grow up

Let it out my friend, let it out!. I dont know if im Mr INIS consultant or the Justice Minister?, but would love to be the Justice Minister tho :). I have answered his question in a simply short form!.

Seems like Simple and short is taking very seriously as a sarcasm and an offense where you' re from (the indies I suppose). Well this is Ireland and those words are simple English!.

Ops, by the way, you should look at your written English. "Not very good my friend" (With Indian voice) :)

Once again to make long story short, im done with you!. I dont go on talking about something nonsensical with users like you.

You should by all means avoid that poster, he doesn't seems to know much about what he talks about and his choice of words are just as terrible.

He parades threads after threads with his disturbing and incorrect assumptions of the Irish immigration rules, giving advices as if it were a military order.

That poster seems to me as a teenager and should not be taken seriously.

He claims to be integrated but that is far from reality
I sure will get one of the mods to have a word with him.

@frei, i just realized their are people you should always allow to play to finish. I will take a pass on getting into argument with a clear dearly beloved, take a look at his fundamental comment "where you' re from (the indies I suppose)". All Indians on this forum, be mindful when reading his post. It is clear indication that some people are just here to give deceptive advice or suggestions.

@INIS consultant,

Well, i would not want to have issues with you, but am not from India anyway, moreover, this forum are for people that are looking for insight into their various concerns on several range of issues and not where one is from, or what level of education one has attained in life or even how much money you have. My advice to you is mind how you make fundamental comments, we are all hoping to become Irish citizens, so immigrant has only one definition, and not where you from

Guys please calm down.
I completely agree with Akabor comments, when I asked the question I left it open ended as I wanted to get the options and that's exactly what he suggested. This is what one should expect from this forum. Anyways you both are doing great job and I thank you for that.
Thanks
