The application referred to by the Deputy was received in my Department on 10 February 2006. The decision of the Visa Officer to refuse this application was taken on 23 February 2006. An appeal against the initial refusal decision was received on 25 April 2006. Following a re-examination of the case, the decision to refuse was upheld on 28 April 2006. As each applicant is entitled to one appeal only, no further review in this matter can be granted; however it is open to the applicant to make a fresh application.
