The person concerned has applied for a review of the most recent decision in their case. The review request was submitted on 17 September 2019, and is currently under consideration. The person concerned has been provided with temporary permission to remain in the State on a Stamp 4 basis until 18 February 2021, while their EU Treaty Rights Review applications are under consideration.
The Immigration Service of my Department will correspond with the applicant should further documentation or information be required. Applications are dealt with in strict chronological order, and a decision will issue to the applicant in due course.
The length of time it takes to process applications may vary depending on a number of factors, including the volume of applications on hand. There are a large number of applications on hand at the present time and the Immigration Service has unfortunately been experiencing delays due to the COVID-19 crisis. Staff have had limited access to their offices and to the relevant case files. Although it is not possible at the present time to provide a definitive date by which a decision will be reached in this case, there will be no avoidable delay in completing same.
