The visa application referred to by the Deputy was received in the Visa Office, Dublin on 8 January 2013. Following full consideration, the Visa Officer decided to refuse the grant of the visa on 2 July 2013.

The decision to refuse was appealed on 05 September 2013.

The Visa Appeals Officer is currently seeking clarification on certain matters related to the application, prior to making a final decision. Once the decision is made, the applicant will receive a letter informing her of the decision on her application.

Queries in relation to general immigration matters may be made directly to INIS by e-mail using the Oireachtas Mail facility which has been specifically established for this purpose. This service enables up to date information on such cases to be obtained without the need to seek information by way of the Parliamentary Questions process. The Deputy may consider using the e-mail service except in cases where the response from INIS is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.
