My Department has no record of a current visa application from the person in question.

An earlier application was received on 7 December, 2006. The decision of the Visa Officer on 14 December, 2006 was to refuse the application.

An appeal against the refusal decision was received on 9 January, 2007. Following a re-examination of the application, the decision to refuse was upheld on 17 January, 2007. 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.
