Khadka (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) considered an application for review by Mr. Khadka concerning a decision relating to his Student (Temporary) (Class TU) visa, subclass 500. The central issue before the Tribunal was whether it possessed jurisdiction to hear Mr. Khadka's application for review.

The Tribunal was required to determine whether Mr. Khadka's application for review had been lodged within the time prescribed by the relevant legislation. This determination was critical to establishing the Tribunal's power to consider the merits of his case.

The Tribunal found that the application for review was received on 8 July 2022. As this date was outside the statutory timeframe for lodging such an application, the Tribunal concluded that it had no jurisdiction to proceed with the review. Consequently, the Tribunal made no further orders regarding the substantive merits of the visa decision.
