Subject: Official Information request - Parents Residency EOI selection
resumption

 

Respected Hon.Iain Lees-Galloway,

 

This is regarding the Parents Resident Visa EOI selection which was due to
resume in May 2020.

Could you please advice what are the plans to start the EOI selection for
the same.

At the moment it is suspended but still new EOI applications are being
accepted which will add to the existing backlog if the previous queue is
not processed. This visa has been in limbo partially due to the last
Government and then delays in the re-opening and it is affecting a lot of
families who have been anxiously waiting for last 4-5 years.

 

Kindly update on the status.

 

Looking forward to hearing from you.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

A KS
