My wife applied in July 2009. She recieved the approval in post last week. We were asked to submit additional documents in March.

Looks like the process is changing as they are now asking to send all fees and photo etc before hand and attend a citizenship ceremony where the certificate will be prsented. So you don't have to first go to court for oath, then send in your docs and wait for the cert.

And by the way she applied on the basis of spouse of Irish citizen.

Congratulation to you and your spouse harpreetsk. This system now seems likes to be either a lottery or i think profiling of candidates picking and choosing. my friend on work permit only wait 28 months before got his decision and he apply after me but i have got no answer not even request to submit document since 3 years but i keep submitting them.

Great news! Congratulations to your wife harpreetsk. This again confirms that some improvement with the naturalization process. Great to see the queue moving.

Go on Alan!

I can inform the Deputy that I have initiated steps within my Department to provide for speedier processing of applications to bring about a substantial reduction in the processing timescale. The new arrangements will be publicly announced once my Department is in a position to implement them.

CONGRATULATIONS nd2011, HOTSPURS and harpreetsk

Whatever Alan Shatter say I would only believe all this speedier processing thing when me (Applied July 2008),my Husband(Applied in Nov,2006) and some other people I know who applied in Dec 2005, Jan 2007 and Feb 2007 would get their decisions.

Congratulations harpreetsk. When was the file sent to Minister for approval?

Where will the citizenship ceremony will be held? does it mean that your wife has to take oath and go for citizenship ceremony at some other place?

Citizenship-ceremony takes place in Dublin only where the presentation takes place- all monies to be paid beforehand.

I do not know when it was sent for approval because we never contacted DOJ.

ChIrl wrote:Where will the citizenship ceremony will be held?

Ceremony is in Dublin.

ChIrl wrote:does it mean that your wife has to take oath and go for citizenship ceremony at some other place?

No this means that they will organise the oath taking for a number of people together and then distribute the naturalisation certificate at the oath taking ceremony itself. I think these type of ceremonies where a Judge was invited to hold the oath taking at some hotel etc to clear bulk applicants have happened in past also. The difference this time is that the oath and certificate happen there itself. You do not have to wait for another 2 months after oath to recieve your cert.

Hi guys, I hope somebody could help me.

I have never claimed unemployment benefit (never being off work) however as I had an operation last year I received illness benefit for the time I could not work as my employer did not pay me anything for that time.

Would anybody know if that has some bearing on the citizenship application? I do not think it should because it will be very unfair but still wonderâ€¦.

My advise to you is what you have done is done so do not bother yourself and live in limbo, just wait and see what will happen and then put your experience in the forum in here.
and it will be great if there someone with the same experience who can tell us.
