Ahmad (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered an application by Ahmad concerning a Temporary Skill Shortage (Class GK) visa, Subclass 482. The applicant sought review of a decision to dismiss their application.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the applicant had complied with the procedural requirements for reinstatement of their application after it had been dismissed. Specifically, the Tribunal had to determine if the applicant had applied for reinstatement within the prescribed 14-day period.

The Tribunal's reasoning was that the applicant had failed to apply for reinstatement within the stipulated 14-day timeframe. Consequently, the Tribunal was bound to confirm the earlier decision to dismiss the application. This failure meant that the decision under review was taken to be affirmed.

The Tribunal confirmed the decision to dismiss the application.
