There is no change in the position in this case since my reply to the Deputy's question of 4 December 2007. The application for a visa was refused by the Visa Officer in Cairo on 26 November 2007. The grounds for refusal were that the Visa Officer had concerns around the bona fides of the marriage and the applicant's spouse's capacity to support him financially in Ireland. It is open to the applicant to appeal against this decision. Any such appeal should reach the Visa Appeals Officer in Cairo within two months of the date of the original decision.
