I am advised by the Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department, that an application was received on behalf of the person referred to by the Deputy on 13 June 2014 seeking to change their residency status from Stamp 2 to Stamp 4 permission to remain in the State. INIS is currently in correspondence with the person concerned.
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 Parliamentary Questions process. The Deputy may consider using the e-mail service except in cases where the response from INIS is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.
