KALDA (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered an application by KALDA for a Regional Employer Nomination (Permanent) (Class RN) visa, Subclass 187, specifically under the Direct Entry stream. The applicant sought to satisfy the criteria for this visa subclass, with no claims made in respect of other visa streams.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the applicant had met the requirements for the Subclass 187 visa in the Direct Entry stream. This involved assessing whether the nominated position met the relevant regulatory criteria, including the requirement for an approved nomination, the applicant's identification in the nomination application, and the employer's status.

The Tribunal affirmed the decision not to grant the visa because the applicant had failed to satisfy the essential criteria for the Direct Entry stream. The decision notes that the requirements that must be met by a person seeking this visa have not been met, leading to the affirmation of the original decision.
