Jeeartit (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) considered the case of *Jeeartit* concerning a Regional Employer Nomination (Permanent) (Class RN) visa, specifically Subclass 187 (Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme). The applicant sought review of a decision relating to their visa application, which was subject to an approved nomination.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the applicant met the eligibility requirements for the Subclass 187 visa, particularly in relation to the nominated occupation of Café or Restaurant Manager. This involved assessing the applicant's skills and experience against the criteria for that occupation as defined by the relevant migration regulations.

The Tribunal, applying the principles of administrative review, found that the applicant's nominated occupation was not sufficiently established to meet the requirements of the visa subclass. Consequently, the Tribunal remitted the matter back to the Department of Home Affairs for reconsideration of the visa application, indicating that further assessment was required to determine eligibility.
