Re:Housing questions - 2006/06/14 01:51 Hi Cate,thankds for the info-but is the Chicago address only for if someone wants to become irish citizen thru descent? (i.e. parent or grand parent irish born?) It looks like I do not qualify because my "grand grand parents" or "great-grandparents came from ireland?)
If this is so, then does anyone know of other ways I can become an irish citizen?
also, is the Chicago address also for obtaining a Visa to work in ireland as a nurse??
thanks loads!

Hi as far as I remember the trick here is that your parents' or your grandparents ' birth should have been registered in Ireland. If so then you can get an irish passport easliy.. I think even trhough grandparents it should be OK. Getting it though grand-grand parents is a problem and very hard to get it sorted.

Hey! Sorry I haven't been here to reply sooner.
Anyway, I am applying for 'citizenship be descent'. Which means I will have my birth registered in Ireland.
Here's what you need:
Documents relating to your Grandparent
1. Full/long form Irish birth certificate.
2. Marriage license, showing grandparents' names, places of birth and ages at the time of marriage.
3. One additional certified document e.g., notarized copies of grandparents' current i.d., naturalization papers, or death certificate, if applicable.

Documents relating to your parent
1. Full/long form birth certificate showing grandparnts' names, places of birth and ages at the time of your parents' birth. Birth certificates which do not contain t his info are not sufficient in themselves to establlish a clear relationship to the Irish-born grandparent.
2.Marriage license showing parents' names, places of birth and ages at the time of marriage and if possible, showing grandparents' names and places of birth.
3.One additional certified document e.g., notarized copies of parents' i.d. (passport, drivers license) or death certificate if applicable.

You will also need similar documentation for yourself.

Obviously, they are trying to establish lineage, so the more detailed info you can supply, the better.

Since I live in Florida, I have to go thru the consulate in NYC. Ceile, for instance, living in Michigan, would go thru the consulate in Chicago.

Here are the physical/email addresses to NY and Chicago:
Consulate General of Ireland
345 Park Ave
17th Floor
New York, NY 10154-0037
Tel:212.319.2555
email:congenny@aol.com

Consulate General of Ireland
400 North Michigan Ave
Chicago,Il 60611
tel: 312.337.1868
email:irishconsulate@sbcglobal.net

They can send you the forms and additional info you'll need.
Hope that was a bit of help, any other questions please let me know.

Re:Housing questions - 2006/06/14 03:50 You can obtain citizenship thru great-grandparents, it's just that I guess it's a bit harder to establish lineage. (Record keeping wasn't that great back in the day, so it's just more difficult to get certain records.Not impossible tho.)

The Chicago address is the Consulate of Ireland, so I would think that they should be able to answer questions regarding work visas. My suggestion would be to call or email, and they can at least point you in the right direction.
I emailed them (in NY) when I didn't know where to begin, and they couldn't have been nicer/ more helpful!

Re:Irish citizenship through descent - 2006/06/14 06:25 thanks everyone!
I was beginning to get really discouraged that I could not obtain Irish citizenship by way of my great great grandparents.It seems like it will take a lot of hard work? I am pretty overwhelmed right now with how much work/time this will take? or is it easier that I am seeing it to be?

My mom passed away in 1993 so would I need to get a certified copy of her death certificate?

Cate, how long did it take you to get all the necessary documentation?
weeks? months?
also did it cost you a lot of money?
thanks a lot!- I will email Chicago consulate this week!
