Contour Glass Tinting PTY LTD (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal reviewed a decision concerning Contour Glass Tinting Pty Ltd's nomination for a Glazier position under the medium-term stream of the Subclass 482 visa program. The applicant sought to have the decision not to approve the nomination set aside.

The Tribunal was required to determine whether the applicant met the criteria for approval of the nomination, specifically considering regulations pertaining to the nomination process, the absence of adverse information, the nominator's status as a standard business sponsor, and the specified occupation. The Tribunal also considered whether certain criteria related to existing visa holders or specific employment conditions applied.

The Tribunal found that the applicant had complied with the prescribed nomination process, including using the correct form, identifying the location of work, paying the required fees, and providing necessary certifications. It was satisfied that the applicant was a standard business sponsor and that the nominated occupation, Glazier (ANZSCO 333111), was an approved occupation for the medium-term stream and applicable to the nominee. Furthermore, no adverse information was known to Immigration, and the applicant had paid any relevant debts. As the nominee was not a current Subclass 457 or 482 visa holder, certain additional requirements did not apply.

Consequently, the Tribunal set aside the original decision and substituted a new decision approving the nomination.
