I don't really see how the DoJ can give any other response other than to reject. They've viewed the application 2 times already and from the sounds of it there are no new circumstances (i.e. no visits to each other etc.). Your dates if I understand them correctly are as follows:
- 2006 - met boyfriend
Dec-2008 - boyfriend to Pakistan
Mar-2009 - boyfriend applied to Ireland for Student Visa
Apr-2009 - boyfriends visa rejected
Jun-2009 - you travelled to Pakistan to marry
Jul-2009 - applied for spouse visa for husband
Sep-2009 - rejected for spouse visa
Oct-2009 - appealed decision
Dec-2009 - rejected for spouse visa appeal
Mar-2010 - reapplied for spouse visa
So basically from Dec 2008 you haven't really seen your husband apart from the marriage. That's not a whole lot of contact in that period. Were you living together before he left Ireland?
Another option you could consider is for him to apply for a tourist visa to come over and spend some time here. When that time period is up, he can return to Pakistan and apply for a spouse visa and is a lot more likely to be granted it, as your relationship has been renewed.
Or he could apply for a Spouse visa while present in Ireland but this could take 12-18 mths to process during which he can't work.
You should really read earlier posts on this subject as there have been many people in the same situations who have eventually resolved it.
What are your plans if he isn't granted a visa here? It's very possible especially if nothing changes in your situation. There is no "right to a visa for spouses of Irish citizens", so if you want this marriage to continue you'll need to consider other options (move to Pakistan, move to N.Ireland, move elsewhere in EU).
