The visa officer examining this application was not satisfied with the bona fide of the documentation supplied by the applicant, specifically in relation to the proof of his divorce. The documentation provided is not recognised in this state and is therefore deemed insufficient to warrant approval of the visa application. If the applicant provided legally recognised documentation which clearly sets out the legality of his divorce my Department will be happy to fully examine a new application.
