The application referred to by the Deputy was received in the Visa Office, Cairo. The decision of the Visa Officer to refuse the application was taken on September 5th, 2006.

The Visa Officer who examined the application was not satisfied, on the basis of the documentation submitted, that the applicant would adhere to the conditions of the visa. An appeal against the refusal decision was received in November, 2006. Following a re-examination of the application, the decision to refuse was upheld in January, 2007 as the applicant had not adequately addressed the reason for refusal. 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.
