I can advise the Deputy that my Department are currently processing such applications received from November 2025. The application cited was received in December 2025.

To be fair to all applicants, applications are dealt with in strict chronological order that they are received. My Department endeavour to process applications as quickly as possible. However, processing times may vary due to a number of factors, such as the number of applications on hand, individual circumstances, the complexity of an application and whether or not further information is required.

If the applicant has any queries concerning their application, it is open to them to contact the Domestic Residence and Permissions Division, using the Department’s Customer Service Portal. The Customer Service Portal can be accessed at the following link:
