Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 November 2023
337. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice the progress to date in the determination of an application for a visa in the case of a person (details supplied); when a decision is expected to issue; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [49560/23]
View answerThe person referred to by the Deputy created on-line Join Family(Non EEA Nat)(Spouse) visa application on 25 November 2022. The supporting documentation and relevant fees were received on 17 December 2022 in the Karachi visa office. This visa application was then forwarded to the Dublin visa office for further processing.
Processing of this application is ongoing at present. As each application is examined under its own merits, it is not possible to give an exact time-frame for completion. However, the applicant can be assured that there will be no avoidable delay in finalising their application.
The Dublin visa office are currently processing applications of this type received on the 29 November 2022. Applicants can keep up-to-date with the processing dates for the visa Office in Dublin by checking the following page; which is updated weekly;www.irishimmigration.ie/visa-decisions/
The person referred to by the Deputy will be notified as soon as a decision has been reached by a visa officer.
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 (inisoireachtasmail@justice.ie ), 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.
