DHALIWAL (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered an application by Mr Dalvinder Singh Dhaliwal concerning a Student (Temporary) (Class TU) visa, subclass 500. Mr Dhaliwal's application had been dismissed by the Tribunal, and he sought review of that decision.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether it was required to affirm the decision to dismiss Mr Dhaliwal's application, given his failure to apply for reinstatement within the prescribed 14-day period.

The Tribunal applied the relevant provisions of the *Migration Act 1958* (Cth) and associated regulations, which stipulate that if an applicant does not seek reinstatement of a dismissed application within the specified timeframe, the Tribunal must confirm the dismissal. Consequently, the decision under review is treated as affirmed.

The Tribunal confirmed its earlier decision to dismiss the application.
