I am advised by officials of the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service of my Department that the current processing times for 'Join Family' visa applications being processed by the Visa Office in Dublin is approximately 8 months. Applications processed in the seven Visa Offices abroad currently have a shorter processing time.

In the absence of more detailed information, it is not possible to identify the application referred. If the Deputy can provide further information to include the person's name and visa application reference number, I will ask my officials to clarify the current position.
