The application referred to by the Deputy was processed in the visa office in Beijing on 21 February 2006. Having given full consideration to the application the visa officer refused the application as he was unable to satisfy the authenticity of the details submitted concerning the applicant's employment. A letter notifying the applicant of the reason for refusal, and outlining the option to appeal, issued to him on 24 February 2006. Any appeal should be accompanied by additional documentation designed to address the concerns of the visa officer notified to the applicant in the letter of refusal.
