Written answers

The visa application in question was to enable the daughter of a non-EEA national employed in the State under the work permit scheme to join her. A worker employed under this scheme may be joined by their spouse and minor children after the worker has been in the State for one year and has been offered a contract for a further year. The worker must also be able to fully support the family members in question without the need to have recourse to public funds. The application in question was refused as the supporting documentation did not show that the worker was in a position to fully support her daughter. The worker in question did not enclose up to date payslips as evidence of her income.

It is open to the applicant to appeal against the refusal by writing to the visa appeals officer in my Department. Any appeal should include payslips as evidence of income.
