Milocani (Migration)

The applicant, Milocani, sought judicial review of a decision made by the Minister for Immigration and Border Protection concerning a Regional Employer Nomination (Permanent) (Class RN) visa, Subclass 187, under the Direct Entry stream. The applicant had applied for this visa as a Dance Teacher.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether the applicant's three years of full-time work experience satisfied the requirements of clause 187.234 of the Migration Regulations 1994. This clause pertains to the work experience necessary for the Direct Entry stream of the Subclass 187 visa.

The court found that the applicant's evidence sufficiently demonstrated three years of full-time work experience as a Dance Teacher, meeting the criteria stipulated in clause 187.234. Consequently, the Minister's decision to refuse the visa was set aside. The matter was remitted to the Minister for reconsideration according to law.
