Migration Regulations 1994 (Cth), r 2.72

STATEMENT OF DECISION AND REASONS

APPLICATION FOR REVIEW

  1. This is an application for review of a decision made by a delegate of the Minister for Immigration on 9 June 2017 to refuse to approve the applicant’s nomination under s.140GB of the Migration Act 1958 (the Act) and r.2.72 of the Migration Regulations 1994 (the Regulations).

  2. The applicant applied for approval on 5 August 2016. A nomination of an occupation for a Subclass 457 visa is made under s.140GB of the Act and r.2.73 of the Regulations. Regulations 2.72(3) to (12) prescribe the criteria that must be satisfied for the Minister to approve a nomination by a person. These criteria are extracted in the attachment to this decision. For nomination applications made from 23 November 2013, additional criteria are specified in s.140GBA.

  3. The delegate decided not to approve the nomination on the basis that the applicant did not satisfy r.2.72(10)(f) because they were not satisfied the nominated position was genuine.

  4. On 8 October 2018, the applicant (represented by Mr Alfred MACRI) appeared at a hearing with the Tribunal to give evidence and present arguments (the Tribunal was initially advised that Mr Daniel Macri would also be giving evidence, but at hearing, Mr Alfred MACRI said he would speak for the nominating business and Mr Daniel Macri would not be attending). The Tribunal also received oral evidence from Mr Kwanchai SIRIWANITCHAYAKUN (the visa applicant), and Dr Mary RICKARD (a witness).

  5. The applicant was represented in relation to the review by its registered migration agent.

  6. For the following reasons, the Tribunal has decided to affirm the decision under review to refuse the nomination.

    CONSIDERATION OF CLAIMS AND EVIDENCE

  7. The issue in the present case is whether the applicant meets the criteria for approval of the nomination. The Tribunal must approve the nomination if the applicable requirements in r.2.72 and, for nomination applications made from 23 November 2013, s.140GBA have been met: s.140GB(2).

    Position must be genuine

  8. Regulation 2.72(10)(f) requires that the position associated with the nominated occupation is genuine.

  9. The applicant (Fruitologist Rozelle P/L) wished to employ a Restaurant Manager (ANZSCO 141111). The nominated salary was $53,900 per annum.[1] The ANZSCO description follows:

    [1] Tribunal – folio 64.

  10. In the ‘Statement letter in relation to Genuine position’ dated 10 August 2016, the applicant said “the business aims to offer retail and online shopping of upmarket fresh fruit and vegetables, flowers, local and imported high-end groceries with various selections of products from different parts of the world … [and that] within our store, we also offer patrons a series of upmarket and healthy choices of modern Australian cuisines, wide varieties of deserts, drink and high-end coffee and tea selections. Our cafe restaurant section also provides platters and pickup catering services”.

  11. The Tribunal understands that when assessing whether or not the position is genuine, it must consider such things as the nature, size, structure and operations of the business as well as the ANZSCO description (set out above). Based on the evidence presented, it appeared the majority of tasks outlined for the position by the applicant are in line with the tasks contained within the ANZSCO description. However, this must be considered in context of the business. For instance, such matters as the current business operating environment and the size and nature of the business.

  12. The organisation chart for the business (lodged with the Tribunal), indicated the following roles:

    ·     Director (name given – Australian Citizen)

    ·     Accounts manager (name given – part-Time – Australian Citizen)

    ·     Shop Assistant Manager (name given – full time – permanent resident)

    ·     Cafe/Restaurant Manager (nominee/visa applicant)

    ·     Customer Service / Grocery Store (three names given – two Australia citizens – one permanent resident)

    ·     Cafe / Restaurant (seven names given – one permanent resident)

  13. The above refers to 14 staff – though the organisation chart lodged with the Department identified 15 staff (and the Tribunal understands staff fluctuations commonly relate to business/seasonal demands). Based on the information before them, the delegate was satisfied the limited staff and limited number of tables indicated the size and scale of the cafe and restaurant was relatively small. The delegate also noted the applicant had not lodged verifiable evidence of the business turnover; or that the financial evidence lodged would support a dedicated full time cafe or restaurant manager in the business. After considering all the evidence, the delegate was not satisfied the nominee would perform the full breadth of duties defined in the ANZSCO code.

  14. With the Tribunal, the applicant lodged a list of staff names and positions; the duties performed by each[2]; and a menu for the business[3]. Also lodged was the visa applicant’s ‘duties and responsibilities’.  These included but were not limited to:

    [2] Tribunal – from folio 90.

    [3] Tribunal – from folio 85, and from 81.

    ·     Management of cafe and staff, rosters, cleaning schedule

    ·     stock control, orders and management of receipt

    ·     staff supervision and training with high customer service standards

    ·     following hygiene protocols and cash handling

    ·     customer complaint handling

    ·     overseeing cooking and food preparation

    ·     ensuring kitchen and cool room cleanliness

    ·     stock rotation and perishable checks

    ·     opening and closing procedures of salad bar and kitchen area

    ·     stock up, tend to customers in timely manner, daily clean, prep and set up

    ·     artistic designer fruit platters, cheese and cakes

    ·     controlling and supervision of all catering and products and related activities in the restaurant

    ·     operating the catering and products side of the business within the set budget

    ·     coordination with head chef in planning menus and the management of the catering department

    ·     supported all aspects of food preparation, quality control and food display

    ·     greeted customer, providing information for specials and promotion, set up an advertisement displays for new incoming merchandise, food, juice, smoothies and food items

    ·     oversee or register transactions processing of customer purchases, and handle any refunds and overrides

    ·     planned and conducted interviews

    ·     ensured that check areas were properly maintained in a clean and orderly condition always

    ·     follow company policies and procedures and maintained outstanding store condition and visual merchandising standards.[4]

    [4] Tribu nal – from folio 82.

  15. The applicant also lodged the following with the Tribunal:

    ·     Photographs of the business premises

    ·     A BAS from October 2017 to December 2017 - indicating total sales of $847,308 – and total salaries of $32,539

    ·     A BAS from April 2018 to June 2018 - indicating total sales of $1,127,751 – and total salaries of $44,643.

    ·     A migration agent letter dated 7 March 2018 & 23 August 2018, which claimed either Mr Daniel Macri (the current director) or Mr Alfredo Macri will attend the hearing (discussed above); the business was registered 5 May 2016; that an accountant believed the business was ‘expected to show a profit for the financial year ended 30 June 2018’; and the qualifications of the visa applicant have been set out.

    ·     An employment contract dated 4 August 2016

    ·     Also lodged were the duties and responsibilities of other staff.

  16. With the Tribunal, the nominator also lodged a Trading, Profit and Loss Statement for the Year ended 30 June 2017 which indicated the business had a ‘Loss before Income Tax’ of ($20.996); and for 2016, the loss was ($35,690). The abovementioned accountants letter dated 6 March 2018, said that based on the information provided, the business should be able to afford the salary for the nominated position of Cafe/Restaurant Manager of $53,900; and that the ‘company is expected to show a profit for the financial year ended 30 June 2018’.[5]

    [5] Tribunal – folio 64.

  17. When discussed at hearing, the applicant said he owned/operated three businesses in Sydney (one in Bondi and two in the same location in Rozelle). He said he was the Director of these businesses. He also said (words to the effect) that his businesses were profitable. When asked, the nominator said both Rozelle businesses (the fruit and vegetable and the cafe) had commenced around 2015. He also said the cafe business in Rozelle was profitable but the fruit and vegetable business in Rozelle, was not. The nominator then said the earlier profit and loss statements referred to losses for the ‘Fruitologist Rozelle Pty Ltd’, and this was a reference to both the Rozelle fruit and vegetable business and the Rozelle cafe (though he agreed that both businesses were separate legal entities – as was the Bondi business).

  18. At hearing, it was said the costs (or losses) of any of the three businesses were covered by the profitability of the other businesses. However, as the three businesses were separate legal entities, and each business was therefore not responsible for the loss of any other business (and no evidence of ie legal mutual guarantee of loss was provided), the Tribunal was not satisfied the financial losses for the cafe business (as set out in the earlier financial evidence for Fruitologist Rozelle Pty Ltd), indicated that business could pay the visa applicant the nominated salary. The Tribunal acknowledges the cafe business commenced in 2015, and such businesses may take some time to obtain profitability.

  19. The Tribunal did not formally request post hearing submissions but advised the applicant it would not finalise its decision prior to COB Monday 22 October 2018; should any further evidence and submissions be lodged. The Tribunal also advised that (ie) further financial information should be signed and/or each page initialled by (words to the effect) a person responsible for that information. An unsigned and un-initialled Trading and Profit and Loss Statement for year ended 30 June 2018 was then lodged. Amongst other things, that indicated that for Fruitologist Rozelle P/L, the ‘Profit before Income Tax’ for 2017 was a loss of $20,996; and that in 2018 it was a profit of $249,155. A Balance Sheet for year ending 30 June 2018 and numerous ‘Payroll Advice’ were also lodged.

  20. After considering all the evidence, the Tribunal has decided to give the post hearing submissions little, if any, weight. First, the financial documents were not signed and/or initialled and the Tribunal did not know who had prepared this information. Second, no clarification was provided as to whether the 2018 financial information for Fruitologist Rozelle Pty Ltd, related to the fruit and vegetable business and/or the cafe business (and prior financial information indicated the Fruitologist Rozelle Pty Ltd financial advice related to both business in Rozelle). Third, as noted above the Tribunal understands the nominator owns/operates three separate businesses which retain separate legal identities, and that each business was therefore not responsible for the loss of any other business. However, based on all the evidence, the Tribunal was not satisfied the apparent recent reversal in the nominating business’s fortunes (given the advice about Profit before Income Tax for 2018), necessarily constituted an accurate reflection of the nominating business’ profitability for 2018; or to what extent the claimed 2018 profit for the nominating business may have been intertwined with the claimed profits in other businesses. Four, after considering the evidence, the Tribunal was not satisfied the evidence of profit before income tax for 2018 necessarily indicated a net profit for 2018. The Tribunal believes these matters are all relevant to whether the position is genuine.

  21. That being said, based on all the evidence the Tribunal is not satisfied the nominated position is genuine, given the accepted financial information lodged, indicated the business had sustained reasonable losses; and given I have placed little weight on the post hearing submissions. Notwithstanding the above-mentioned accountant’s letter, which was not corroborated by other evidence accepted by the Tribunal, I remain satisfied the position is not genuine.

  22. For these reasons the requirements of r.2.72(10)(f) are not met.

  23. For the reasons given above, the Tribunal is not satisfied that the applicant meets the applicable criteria for the nomination to be approved. Accordingly, the decision under review must be affirmed.

    DECISION

  24. The Tribunal affirms the decision not to approve the nomination.
