Deshpande (Migration)

This matter concerned a review application lodged with the Migration Review Tribunal by Mr Deshpande in relation to a Sponsored Parent (Temporary) (Class GH) visa, Subclass 870.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether it had jurisdiction to consider Mr Deshpande's application for review, given that it was lodged out of time.

The Tribunal determined that the application for review was not received until 14 February 2023. As this date fell outside the prescribed time limits for lodging such an application under the relevant legislation, the Tribunal concluded that it lacked jurisdiction to proceed with the review. Consequently, the Tribunal made no substantive decision on the merits of the visa application itself.
