Cheow (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered an application by Ms Cheow concerning a decision made under the *Migration Act 1958* (Cth). The dispute centred on the dismissal of Ms Cheow's student visa application.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether it was required to affirm the decision to dismiss Ms Cheow's application, given that she had not applied for reinstatement of her application within the prescribed 14-day period.

The Tribunal reasoned that the legislative framework mandated the confirmation of the dismissal decision in the absence of a timely application for reinstatement. Consequently, the decision under review was deemed to be affirmed. The Tribunal confirmed the decision to dismiss the application.
