The person concerned was granted Leave to Remain in the State in February, 2008, following the consideration of her case under Section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended). This Leave to Remain was subsequently renewed, most recently on 23rd February, 2012, with the consequence that the person concerned now has Leave to Remain up to 17th February, 2015.
It is open to the person concerned to lodge an application for a Certificate of Naturalisation if and when she is in a position to meet the statutory requirements. Detailed information in relation to the lodgement of an application for a Certificate of Naturalisation can be found on the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) Website - www.inis.ie.
Queries in relation to the status of 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 the INIS is, in the Deputy’s view, inadequate or too long awaited.
