KAUR (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered an application for a Partner (Temporary) (Class UK) visa, subclass 820. The applicant sought review of the Department's decision not to grant the visa. The Department's decision was based on information obtained during a site visit, which indicated a change in the applicant's circumstances, specifically that she was no longer in a relationship with her sponsor.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the applicant continued to satisfy the criteria for the grant of the Partner (Temporary) visa, particularly concerning the requirement to be in a genuine and continuing relationship with her sponsor at the time of the decision.

The Tribunal affirmed the Department's decision, finding that the information gathered during the site visit demonstrated that the applicant no longer met the eligibility requirements for the visa. The Tribunal concluded that the applicant did not satisfy the criteria for the grant of the visa, and therefore, the decision not to grant the visa was upheld.
