I am informed by the Immigration Division of my Department that the person concerned made an application for Family Reunification for his wife and five children which was approved in May 2006.

The person in question utilised the visas for his wife and two of the children approved on his application but did not do so for his three other children and the visas subsequently expired in respect of these three children.

The Immigration Division of my Department will be in contact shortly with the person in question regarding the renewal of the expired visas for his three children approved under the Family Reunification application in May 2006.
