I am informed by the Immigration Division of my Department that the person in question made an application for Family Reunification in September 2004.

The application was forwarded to the Office of the Refugee Applications Commissioner for investigation as required under Section 18 of the Refugee Act 1996. The Commissioner forwarded a report to my Department in January 2006.

A separate report has also been requested from the Department of Social and Family Affairs. Upon receipt of this report the application will be considered and a decision will issue in due course.
