View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 835 and 906 together.
The applications referred to by the Deputy were received in the Visa Office, New Delhi on 6 November 2007. They were refused by the Visa Officer on the ground that there was insufficient documentation submitted in support of the applications — it is a requirement that applicants submit evidence of their qualifications and experience in relation to the position the work permit refers to. The applicants did not do so.
The decision of the Visa Officer may be appealed within two months of the date of decision, in this case before 6 January 2008. The appeal should be lodged in the Visa Office, New Delhi. The applicants have been advised of this both verbally and in writing. Guidelines on making an appeal can be found on the website of the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service at www.inis.gov.ie.
