Devine (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered a migration matter involving an employer's nomination application for a Temporary Skill Shortage (Class GK) visa, subclass 482. The employer, identified as the first applicant, had their nomination application refused. The second applicant was a member of the family unit seeking the visa.

The Tribunal was required to determine whether it had jurisdiction to review the refusal of the employer's nomination application and, if so, whether the decision to refuse the visa to the second applicant should be affirmed.

The Tribunal found that it lacked jurisdiction to consider the first applicant's case, as no application for review had been lodged in relation to the refusal of the nomination. Consequently, the Tribunal affirmed the decision not to grant the Temporary Skill Shortage (Class GK) visa to the second applicant, a member of the family unit, on the basis that an essential requirement for the visa was not met.
