Harpreet Singh (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) considered an application for review by Harpreet Singh concerning a Regional Employer Nomination (Permanent) (Class RN) visa, Subclass 187. The central dispute revolved around whether the Tribunal had jurisdiction to hear Mr. Singh's application, which was lodged after the statutory time limit.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether it possessed jurisdiction to consider Mr. Singh's application for review, given that it was received by the Tribunal on 19 October 2019, which was outside the prescribed timeframe for lodging such an application.

The Tribunal, constituted by Member Tim Connellan, determined that the application for review was not made in accordance with the relevant legislative requirements because it was received by the Tribunal on 19 October 2019. Consequently, the Tribunal concluded that it lacked jurisdiction to proceed with the matter. The Tribunal therefore made no order other than that it did not have jurisdiction in this matter.
