Dear Sir or Madam,

Thank you very much for supplying the information I asked for.

Further to your reply regarding the numbers and success rate of
applicants for the Commonwealth Working Visas from Australia and
Malaysia I would like to know the proportion of applicant who
needed to appeal against the initial decision in order to obtain a
visa.

Put another way what proportion of applicants from Australia and
Malaysia respecively who were initially rejected at interview were
finally successful in obtaining the Commonwealth working visa
during the period 2005-2008 for each year or part year?

Yours sincerely,

Richard Perkins
