The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) considered an application for review by a visa applicant concerning the cancellation of their Bridging A (Class WA) visa, Subclass 010. The core of the dispute revolved around whether the Tribunal possessed the necessary jurisdiction to hear the applicant's case.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether it had jurisdiction to review the cancellation of the applicant's Bridging A visa. This question hinged on whether a reviewable decision had been made at the time the application for review was lodged with the Tribunal.

The Tribunal determined that no reviewable decision had been made prior to the lodgement of the review application. Consequently, the application was deemed not to have been properly made, and the Tribunal concluded that it lacked jurisdiction to proceed with the matter. The Tribunal therefore dismissed the application for review.
