The person concerned submitted an application to change their permission to remain in the State from a Stamp 3 to a Stamp 4 on 6 July 2020. Applications are processed in strict chronological order and there will be no avoidable delay in issuing a decision.

Documentation was requested from the person concerned on 20 July 2020 and again on the 14 October 2020. To date there has been no reply. The application will progress further upon receipt of the requested documentation.

Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to my Department 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 is, in the Deputy’s view, inadequate or too long awaited.
