Sazali (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered an application for a Regional Employer Nomination (Permanent) (Class RN) visa, Subclass 187, Direct Entry stream, concerning the applicant's nominated position as a Procurement Manager. The primary dispute revolved around whether the applicant possessed the necessary tertiary qualifications to perform the tasks associated with this occupation.

The Tribunal was required to determine if the applicant's academic transcript, provided during the review process, sufficiently demonstrated that they held the relevant tertiary qualifications to perform the duties of a Procurement Manager. This involved assessing the adequacy of the qualifications in relation to the specific requirements of the occupation as defined by migration regulations.

The Tribunal found that the academic transcript provided evidence of relevant tertiary qualifications. Consequently, the Tribunal remitted the application to the Department for reconsideration, with a direction that the applicant meets the criteria under cl.187.234 of Schedule 2 to the Regulations. The matter was therefore remitted on the basis that the applicant's qualifications were sufficient for the visa subclass.
