I am informed by the Immigration Division of my Department that the person in question made an application for Family Reunification on the 31st July 2008. The application has been forwarded to the Refugee Applications Commissioner for investigation as required under Section 18 of the Refugee Act 1996. When the investigation has been completed, the Commissioner will prepare and forward a report to my Department. Upon receipt of the report the application will be considered and a decision will issue in due course.
