CHEN (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) considered an application for review by Ms Chen concerning a Partner (Temporary) (Class UK) visa, Subclass 820. The AAT was asked to determine whether it had jurisdiction to hear Ms Chen's application.

The central legal issue before the Tribunal was whether it possessed the authority to review Ms Chen's visa application, given that a previous decision regarding the same matter had already been reviewed.

The Tribunal reasoned that it lacked jurisdiction to hear Ms Chen's application for review, which was lodged on 2 August 2017. This conclusion was based on the fact that the matter had already undergone a prior review. Consequently, the Tribunal determined that it did not have jurisdiction in this instance.
