The application for a "Join Spouse" visa referred to by the Deputy was received in the Visa Office, Dublin on 31 July 2007. It was refused on 14 August 2007 because the Visa Officer was not provided with satisfactory evidence of a pre-existing relationship. As no appeal was received within two months of the refusal decision being communicated to the applicant, no further review of the application can take place. It is open to the applicant, however to make a fresh application.
