Amharc ar fhreagraI have been informed by the Irish Naturalisation & Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned is currently registered in the State under Stamp 3 conditions. INIS has no record of an application being received from this person requesting a change of status on family dependency grounds to a Stamp 4.
Queries on the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to INIS by email 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 email service except in cases where the response from INIS is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.
