The person referred to by the Deputy created an online employment visa application on 16 March 2022. The supporting documentation and fee waivers were applied on 22 March 2022 in the New Delhi visa office. 

Processing of this application is ongoing at present.  As each application is examined under it's own merits, it is not possible to give an exact timeframe for completion.  However, the person can be assured that there will be no avoidable delay in finalising their application and they will be notified as soon as a decision has been reached by a Visa Officer.

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 (inisoireachtasmail@justice.ie), 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.
