My Department received the visa application to which the Deputy referred on 9 April 2005. In general, applications are dealt with strictly in the order in which they are received. This ensures the fairest possible service to all customers in their dealings with my Department.

In exceptional cases, where it can be demonstrated that there are extenuating circumstances, a particular application may be prioritised. On the basis of the information supplied by the Deputy, no such circumstances appear to exist in this case.
