Written answers

The person concerned submitted an application to the Immigration Service of my Department to change their permission to remain in the State from a Stamp 3 to a Stamp 4. In the interests of fairness to all applicants, all such requests are dealt with in chronological order. Due to the large volume of applications received, it is unfortunately not currently possible to give a specific timeframe for a decision on this particular request. If further information is required to progress the application, the Immigration Service will write to the person concerned.

Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to my Department 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 is, in the Deputy’s view, inadequate or too long awaited.
