I am informed by the Immigration Division of my Department that an application from the person concerned for residence in the State based on EU Treaty Rights was received on 4th February 2008. Subsequent correspondence dated the 13th February from the applicant was also received relating to his application. The status of the applicant cannot be determined until his application is fully processed. The statutory time frame for issuing a decision in EU Treaty Rights applications is six months from the date of receipt. The applicant cannot enter employment until such time as he is issued with a positive decision.
