My Department has no record of a current visa application from the person in question. An earlier application was refused on 21 April 2006 and that decision was upheld on appeal in June 2006. An applicant is entitled to one appeal only, so no further review of that application can take place. It is open to the applicant, however, to make a fresh application.
