Petition Regarding Visa Application

We, the undersigned, including citizens and professionals, are writing to express our concern regarding the delays in visa application processing for Iranians seeking to travel to Ireland. We have been made aware that a number of applicants have been waiting for decisions on their applications for extended periods, in some instances up to 13 months, which is causing considerable distress and uncertainty. We understand that these delays are resulting in missed job offers and academic positions, significantly impacting the careers and lives of those affected. The prolonged wait times also have the potential to negatively affect professional opportunities.We recognize that visa processing can be a complex and demanding task, and we appreciate the work being done. However, in light of these challenges, we respectfully request consideration of the following:

Expedite Processing of Long-Pending Applications:

 We ask that priority be given to applications that have been pending for extended periods, particularly those with academic and professional skills.

Address Backlogs:

We would greatly appreciate the allocation of additional resources to help alleviate existing backlogs and work toward a more consistent processing timeline for all applicants.

We invite all members of the community—whether directly affected by these delays or supportive of our cause.

To sign this statement in solidarity. Your support is vital in encouraging decision-makers to take appropriate action.
