The Director of Immigration has reconsidered the application, looking particularly for any special grounds for treating Mr Yam and Miss Ly as man and wife. However, any period of cohabitation was extremely short, and there is nothing in the letters written by either Miss Ly or Mr Yam which would suggest that there has been a genuine marriage. The Director concludes that there are insufficient grounds for making an exception and recommends that the refusal be maintained.
