SILVIAWATI (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered an application for review by Silviawati concerning a decision made under the *Migration Regulations 1994* (Cth) in relation to a Skilled (Provisional) (Class VC) visa, Subclass 485 (Temporary Graduate) visa.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the review applicants had complied with the procedural requirements for the reinstatement of their application after failing to appear at a scheduled hearing. Specifically, the Tribunal had to determine if the applicants had made a valid application for reinstatement within the prescribed timeframe.

The Tribunal's reasoning was based on the express provisions of the *Migration Regulations*. As the review applicants did not apply for reinstatement of their application within the 14-day period stipulated by the regulations, the Tribunal was mandated to confirm the decision to dismiss the application. Consequently, the decisions under review were taken to be affirmed.

The Tribunal confirmed the decision to dismiss the application.
