The application referred to by the Deputy was received in the Cairo Visa Office on 8th August, 2006. The decision of the Visa Officer to refuse the application was taken on 16th August, 2006. The application was refused on the grounds that the applicant's spouse had insufficient funds to support the applicant.

The decision was appealed on 26th August, 2006. Following a re-examination of the case, the decision to refuse was upheld on 13th October, 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.
