The person referred to by the Deputy created an online Long Stay visa application on 2 April 2022. The supporting documentation was received on 18 April 2022 in the Karachi visa office. This visa application was received in the Dublin Visa Office for further processing on 20 May 2022. I am advised that a decision on this application has now been made and the person referred to will be contacted by the Visa Office shortly in this regard.

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.
