Klein (Migration)

This matter concerned an application for a Regional Employer Nomination (Permanent) (Class RN) visa, Subclass 187 (Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme), Direct Entry stream. The applicant sought to have the decision reviewed by the Tribunal, with the primary dispute revolving around whether the nominating sponsor had an approved standard business sponsor for the proposed position of Customer Service Manager. Evidence was presented regarding the nominating sponsor's business operations, turnover, growth, and employee numbers, as well as details of the proposed role and the applicant's current employment.

The legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the nominating sponsor met the requirements for an approved standard business sponsor in relation to the proposed Customer Service Manager position. This involved assessing the nature of the business, its national reach, and the specific responsibilities and reporting structure of the nominated role. The Tribunal also considered evidence that employees were provided with a Fair Work Information Statement and the details of the applicant's current role and proposed future position.

The Tribunal, after considering the evidence, determined that the appropriate course of action was to remit the visa application to the Minister for reconsideration. This decision was based on the Tribunal's findings that the applicants met certain criteria for the Subclass 187 visa, specifically referencing clauses 187.223, 187.233, and 187.311 of Schedule 2 to the Regulations. The Tribunal directed that the application be reconsidered with these criteria in mind.
