JEONG, Deok Soo (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) considered an application for review concerning a Subclass 482 visa. The applicant, Deok Soo Jeong, sought review of a decision, but the application for review was lodged with the Tribunal after the prescribed time limit.

The central legal issue before the Tribunal was whether it possessed jurisdiction to hear the applicant's review. This question turned on whether the application for review had been made in accordance with the relevant legislative requirements, specifically concerning the timeliness of its lodgement.

The Tribunal, constituted by Member Mary Sheargold, determined that the application for review was received by the Tribunal on 1 March 2021. As this date was outside the timeframe stipulated by the relevant legislation for lodging an application for review, the Tribunal concluded that it lacked jurisdiction to consider the matter. Consequently, the Tribunal made no substantive decision on the merits of the visa application itself.
