Ng (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered an application for review by a migration applicant concerning a Student (Temporary) (Class TU) visa, subclass 500. The applicant failed to appear at the hearing for their review application.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether to confirm the dismissal of the review application, given the applicant's non-appearance and subsequent failure to seek reinstatement within the prescribed timeframe.

The Tribunal applied the relevant procedural rules, which stipulated that if an applicant does not apply for reinstatement within 14 days of a dismissal for non-appearance, the Tribunal must confirm the dismissal. Consequently, the decision under review is deemed to be affirmed. The Tribunal confirmed its decision to dismiss the application.
