The visa application was sought to enable the wife of a non-EEA national employed under the work permit scheme to join her husband in the State. A person employed under the work permit scheme can apply for their spouse and minor children to join them in the State after they have been in the State for a year and have been offered a contract for a further year. An initial assessment has been undertaken on the application and further information has been sought to progress the application. The husband in Ireland has been asked to submit birth certificates for the two children included in the visa application. The applicants can expect a decision within a short period of time when the information sought by the visa officer has been received.
