The application from the person referred to by the Deputy was received by the Undocumented Unit of my Department on 14 March 2022 and continues to be processed. Due to the large number of applications on hand it is not possible to provide a definitive timeframe for a decision to issue.

Processing times may vary depending on the complexity of the application, whether it is a single or family application, the supporting documentation and the vetting process with An Garda Síochána. Applications where there is an existing deportation order in place will also require additional processing.

Each application received is assessed individually in accordance with the published criteria, available on my Department's immigration website at: .
