The visa applications referred to by the Deputy in respect of the persons concerned were approved and the decision letter to this effect issued on 01 March, 2006 to the address on record on that date. The letter was returned undelivered, as the applicant had changed address. The change of address notification was received from the applicant on 20 March, and they were subsequently notified that the visa had been approved.
