Chinyerere (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (Cth) considered an application by Chinyerere concerning the cancellation of their Skilled Nominated (Permanent) (Class SN) visa, Subclass 190. The dispute arose from the applicant's alleged provision of incorrect information and commission of serious breaches of the law, which led to the Department of Home Affairs' decision to cancel the visa.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the applicant had failed to comply with the requirements of the *Migration Act 1958* (Cth) in a manner that warranted visa cancellation. Specifically, the Tribunal had to determine if the applicant had deliberately provided incorrect information and committed other serious breaches of the law, as alleged by the Department.

The Tribunal affirmed the Department's decision to cancel the visa. In reaching this conclusion, the Tribunal found that the applicant had indeed engaged in non-compliance as described in the notice given under section 107 of the *Migration Act 1958* (Cth). Having regard to all the relevant circumstances, the Tribunal concluded that the visa cancellation was appropriate.
