The visa application referred to by the Deputy was lodged with the Department of Foreign Affairs on 11 November 2005 and received in my Department on 14 November 2005. The application will be examined and considered by a visa officer in my Department. Visa applications are dealt with in strict date received order so as to guarantee fairness for all our customers. Applications are taking between three to four weeks on average to process and the applicant will be notified of the decision at that time.
