The person in question made an application for Family Reunification in March, 2002 in respect of six family members: his wife, son, mother, two brothers and sister. In February 2003, the applications for his wife and son were approved. However, the applications for the rest of his family were refused on the same date.

A request for a review was received in April, 2003. Following a complete review of the case, the applications were again refused in August, 2004. At present, there is no application for Family Reunification pending in respect of the person concerned.
