Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 September 2018
323. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality when stamp 4 or extended residency will issue in the case of a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [37733/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned made an application for permission to reside in the State based on marriage to an Irish national on 30 November 2016. I understand that the application was closed on 13 October 2017 due to lack of information from the applicant.
I am further informed that the person concerned made a subsequent application for permission to reside on 27 October 2017. I understand that INIS wrote to the person concerned on 14 September 2018 informing them that it granted permission to reside in the State for one year on Stamp 4 conditions.
Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to the INIS of 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 from the INIS is, in the Deputy’s view, inadequate or too long awaited.
