Catarcione (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered the case of Catarcione, involving an application for a Regional Employer Nomination (Permanent) (Class RN) visa, subclass 187. The applicant sought review of a decision not to grant the visa.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the second applicant met the criteria for a subclass 187 visa, specifically as a member of the family unit of the primary applicant, or in her own right.

The Tribunal affirmed the decision not to grant the visa because the second applicant did not satisfy the secondary visa criteria as a family unit member. Furthermore, there was no evidence presented to demonstrate that the second applicant met the primary visa criteria for the subclass 187 visa independently. Consequently, the Tribunal affirmed the decisions under review.
