The visa application referred to by the Deputy was received in the Visa Office, Dublin on 1 October 2008 and is currently awaiting consideration by a Visa Officer.

Visa applicants are advised to allow six to eight weeks to allow for processing of a visa, although times may vary depending on the complexity of the application. The current processing time in our Dublin Visa Office for 'Visit' visa applications is approximately seven working days from the date of receipt for straightforward applications. If all the required documentation and information has been submitted, a decision in this case can be expected before 10 October 2008.
