But an ultimate rejection is not becoming a DD on his watch. So, if
the DAM is overruled by a GR, consequently he would have to respond in
giving up his job. Thats the thread hanging there or not?
There also doesn't seem to be a timeline for reapplying after an
ultimate rejection. Ultimate rejection sounds like a life sentence.
Or can one reapply once the DAM changed? Or call a GR to be allowed to
reapply?
