The Employment Permits Section of my Department informs me that the applicant concerned was refused a Green Card due to the fact that he has a current application for refugee/asylum status lodged with the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform, which renders him ineligible to apply for an Employment Permit.
Having examined the appeal made by the applicant, the Appeals Officer has upheld the original decision in this case and the applicant was informed of this decision by letter on the 9th June 2008.
