Lacina (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered an application for Temporary Skill Shortage (Class GK) visas, subclass 482, medium-term stream, by applicants seeking to work as cabinetmakers. The core of the dispute concerned the refusal of a related approved position nomination application, which was affirmed by the Tribunal.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the applicants met all the essential requirements for the subclass 482 visa, specifically in light of the refusal of the associated nomination.

The Tribunal affirmed the decision not to grant the visas because an essential requirement for the visa was not met. Consequently, the Tribunal affirmed the decision under review, meaning the applicants were not granted the Temporary Skill Shortage (Class GK) visas.
