O'Briens Window Cleaning Services Pty Ltd (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal reviewed a decision concerning O'Briens Window Cleaning Services Pty Ltd's nomination of a position for a Subclass 482 visa. The core dispute revolved around whether the nominated position of Contract Administrator met the legislative criteria for approval under the Migration Regulations 1994.

The Tribunal was required to determine if the applicant, O'Briens Window Cleaning Services Pty Ltd, had satisfied all the relevant criteria for the approval of the nomination. This included assessing whether the nomination was made in accordance with the prescribed process, whether there was any adverse information known to Immigration, whether the nominator was a standard business sponsor, and whether any debts under section 140ZO of the Act had been paid. Additionally, the Tribunal considered whether the nominated occupation and its code corresponded to specified occupations in the relevant legislative instrument.

The Tribunal found that the applicant had complied with the procedural requirements for making the nomination, including using the approved form and paying the required fees. It was satisfied that no adverse information was known to Immigration concerning the applicant or associated persons, and that the applicant held the status of a standard business sponsor. The Tribunal also confirmed that the nominated occupation, Contract Administrator (ANZSCO 511111), was listed in the relevant instrument for the Short-term stream of the Subclass 482 visa. Based on these findings, the Tribunal concluded that all applicable criteria for the nomination's approval had been met.

Consequently, the Tribunal set aside the original decision not to approve the nomination and substituted a decision approving the nomination.
