Israelite (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered an application for a Temporary Skill Shortage (Class GK) visa, subclass 482, short-term stream. The applicant sought review of a decision not to grant this visa, which was based on the applicant's nominated occupation as a web designer. A key element of the dispute was whether the applicant had provided sufficient evidence of an approved position nomination to satisfy the visa requirements.

The Tribunal was required to determine whether the applicant had met the essential criteria for the subclass 482 visa, specifically concerning the approved position nomination. The Tribunal also had to consider the nature of the applicant's work, described as sporadic work on retainer, in relation to the requirements of the visa.

The Tribunal affirmed the decision not to grant the visa because an essential requirement was not met. The Member noted that there was no evidence before the Tribunal of an approved nomination for the applicant's position as a web designer. This failure to satisfy a fundamental criterion led to the affirmation of the original decision. The Tribunal therefore affirmed the decision not to grant the applicant the Temporary Skill Shortage (Class GK) visa.
