Pham (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) considered an application for review by Mr Pham concerning a Student (Temporary) (Class TU) visa. The core of the dispute revolved around whether the AAT possessed jurisdiction to hear Mr Pham's application.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether Mr Pham's application for review had been lodged within the time prescribed by the relevant legislation. This determination was crucial to establishing the Tribunal's jurisdiction to consider the merits of his visa application.

The Tribunal found that the application for review was received on 25 February 2019. As this date fell outside the period prescribed by the relevant legislation for lodging such an application, the Tribunal concluded that it had no jurisdiction to hear the matter. Consequently, the Tribunal made no order on the merits of the application.
