An application for family reunification in respect of the son of the persons in question was received in the visa section of my Department on 28 October 2005. The application will shortly be forwarded to the Refugee Applications Commissioner for investigation as required under section 18 of the Refugee Act 1996.

When the investigation is completed, the commissioner will prepare and forward a report to my Department. Upon receipt of this report, the application will be considered and a decision will issue shortly thereafter.
