The person referred to by the Deputy has no valid immigration permission to remain in the State.

A Change of Status application from the person concerned was received by the Domestic Residence and Permissions Division of my Department on 21 November 2023 and continues to be processed by my Department.

To be fair to all applicants, applications are dealt with in chronological order by date received. My Department endeavours 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 applications, whether further information is required, and the resources available.
