My wife recently applied through her grandparents for Irish citizenship (cheaper than spouse application). She was born in the UK and moved here age 3.
It took 9 months and a week to get her CFBR and Irish passport.
The letter to see application received took about five days. She actually became pregnant and got a letter from gp to say as much which sped up the application. I understand it's much slower now.Would you happen to remember how long into this process she received the letter moving her application along to second stage @HollowKnight ? I'm trying to estimate how much longer my husband's application might take now that he's at 2nd stage... Tnx
As I said, it was 13 months for my wife to receive the second stage letter. I'd say 12 months is normal currently.I've been living here 20 years. Applied exactly a year ago, and after acknowledgement, have had no further notice. I didn't even know what a second stage letter was until a few weeks ago.
I emailed to ask how my application was progressing, but just had a standard reply that it is in progress. It doesn't make me any less convinced my parcel of documents has fallen down the back of the shelf.
I am frustrated by hearing of people who applied this year and have already been accepted for citizenship.
It's frustrating when there seems to be a random and unspecified length of time needed, even though we all know that they are inundated. It'd just be good to know are we talking two months more... twelve months more ...? Like the tracking system when you apply for a passport.I've been living here 20 years. Applied exactly a year ago, and after acknowledgement, have had no further notice. I didn't even know what a second stage letter was until a few weeks ago.
