I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person mentioned was registered in the State as a Student on 15/01/2007 to 08/06/2014. He was advised on 24 July 2014 that due to the guidelines for non EEA national students registered in Ireland before 1 January 2011 that the seven year time limit permitting this person to be a student in the State expired on 08/06/2014.
Further correspondence was received from this person and this application will be dealt with in due course.
Queries in relation to the status of or advice on 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 INIS is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.
