I am informed by the Immigration Division of my Department that the person in question was granted Refugee status in July 2008 and made a Family Reunification application in respect of his wife and daughter in October 2008. This application was forwarded to the Refugee Applications Commissioner for investigation as required under Section 18 of the Refugee Act 1996. This investigation is completed and the Commissioner has forwarded a report to my Department. This application will be considered by my Department and a decision will issue in due course. At present applications are taking 24 months to process.
