Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 10 October 2024
231. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice if the residency status (Stamp 3) in the case of a person (details supplied) will be examined; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [40877/24]
View answerThe person referred to by the Deputy holds a Stamp 3 immigration permission valid until 04 April 2025.
An application for a change of immigration status to a Stamp 4 by the person concerned was refused on 10 December 2023. An appeal application was received on 28 February 2024 and continues to be processed by the Domestic Residence and Permissions Division of my Department.
To be fair to all applicants, applications are dealt with in chronological order by date received. My Department endeavours to process applications as quickly as possible. However, processing times may vary due to a number of factors, such as the number of applications on hands, individual circumstances, the complexity of applications, whether further information is required, and the resources available.
Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to my Department by email using the Oireachtas Mail facility at: IMoireachtasmail@justice.ie, which has been specifically established for this purpose. This service enables up to date information on such cases to be obtained without the need to seek information by way of the Parliamentary Question process. The Deputy may consider using the email service except in cases where the response is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.
