I am informed that the visa applications to which the Deputy is referring are reference numbers 1514503 and 1514504.

With regard to the specific reasons for refusal of the applications in question, in both cases the visa officer could not reasonably be satisfied on the basis of documentation supplied to my Department that the applicants would observe the conditions of the visas applied for which they applied. In particular, it was felt that the applicants had not displayed evidence of their obligations to return home following the proposed visit. The reasons for refusal issued by post to both applicants on 30 June 2004.
