Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 17 September 2014
614. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the progress to date in determination of an application for updating of status to Stamp 4 in respect of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 8; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [33634/14]
View answerI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department, that this person entered the State on 7 December 2006 and registered on Stamp 2 student conditions on 9 January 2007 until 13 November 2012. This person and their spouse currently have no permission to remain in the State.
An application was received on behalf of the person mentioned by the Deputy and their spouse on 10 April 2014 seeking to change their residency status to Stamp 4 permission to remain in the State. Applications are dealt with in chronological order and INIS will be in contact with the applicant in due course.
Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to the INIS by e-mail using the Oireachtas Mail facility 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 Questions process. The Deputy may consider using the e-mail service except in cases where the response from the INIS is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited
