Arevalo (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered an application by Mr Arrevalo for a Temporary Skill Shortage (Class GK) visa, Subclass 482. The dispute concerned whether Mr Arrevalo met the criteria for this visa, specifically in relation to a skills assessment.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was to determine if Mr Arrevalo satisfied the requirements for the Subclass 482 visa, as set out in the Migration Regulations 1994.

The Tribunal found that a hearing was not necessary, as it could determine the matter in favour of the applicant based on the existing material, pursuant to section 360(2)(a) of the Migration Act 1958. Consequently, the Tribunal remitted the application for reconsideration with a direction that Mr Arrevalo meets the criteria under clause 482.212(4) of Schedule 2 to the Migration Regulations 1994.
