Pandher (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered an application for review concerning a Subclass 186 (Employer Nomination Scheme) visa, Temporary Residence Transition stream. The applicant, Mr. Pandher, sought review of a decision to refuse his nomination for this visa.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether Mr. Pandher satisfied the criteria for the visa nomination. Specifically, the Tribunal was required to determine if the applicant met the essential requirements for the nominated occupation, which was identified as a hairdresser.

The Tribunal's reasoning focused on the applicant's failure to satisfy the primary criteria for the visa. As a consequence of this failure, the Tribunal found that the secondary criteria, which were contingent on the satisfaction of the primary criteria, could not be met by the second and third named applicants. The Tribunal therefore affirmed the decisions under review.
