Lorando Gomes Da Silva (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) considered an application for review by Lorando Gomes Da Silva concerning a decision made by a delegate regarding a Student (Temporary) (Class TU) visa, subclass 500. The core of the dispute revolved around the Tribunal's jurisdiction to hear the applicant's case.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether it possessed jurisdiction to review the delegate's decision, given that the applicant was not within the migration zone at the time the application for review was lodged.

The Tribunal, through Member Meredith Jackson, reasoned that the delegate's decision was not reviewable under the relevant circumstances. Consequently, the application for review was deemed not to have been properly made, leading to the conclusion that the Tribunal lacked jurisdiction in the matter. The Tribunal therefore held that it did not have jurisdiction.
