The Family Reunification application for the person referred to by the Deputy has been received by my Department and continues to be processed at this time. All applications are processed in chronological order.

Correspondence issued from the Family Reunification Unit to the applicant regarding this application on 20 March 2023, including a questionnaire. The person concerned requested an extension of time and this was granted. The FRU now awaits receipt of the questionnaire and any other required supporting documentation.

It is not possible to comment on the potential outcome of the application or the timeline for examination in the absence of the requested information being received from the applicant.

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.
