I am informed by the Immigration Division of my Department that the person in question made a Family Reunification application in June 2005. The person in question was informed in July 2007 that the Family Reunification application on behalf of his wife had been refused and that the Family Reunification applications on behalf of his two children had been approved. In the course of processing the visa applications for the two children of the person in question, queries arose in relation to the authenticity of certain documents submitted. This issue is currently being investigated. The Immigration Division of my Department will be in touch with the person in question on completion of the investigation.
