BHATTA CHHETRI (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal reviewed a decision concerning a Regional Employer Nomination (Permanent) (Class RN) visa, Subclass 187 (Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme). The applicant, BHATTA CHHETRI, was the subject of the review.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether to affirm the decision to dismiss the applicant's visa application, which had been made due to the applicant's non-appearance before the Tribunal.

The Tribunal's reasoning was based on the applicant's failure to apply for reinstatement of their application within the prescribed 14-day period following the dismissal. As this procedural requirement was not met, the Tribunal was obliged to confirm the original decision to dismiss the application. Consequently, the decisions under review were taken to be affirmed. The Tribunal confirmed the decision to dismiss the application.
