The application referred to by the Deputy was received in the Dublin Visa Office on 8 August, 2012. It was refused by the Visa Officer on 7 September, 2012. A refusal letter issued to the Irish reference on 13 September 2012. The decision of the Visa Officer to refuse the application was not appealed within 60 days ( the requisite time-frame in which an appeal must be submitted ) of the refusal date. As the applicant failed to appeal the decision, no further review of the application can be undertaken. It is, however, open to the applicant to make a fresh application.
