Singh (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered an application by Mr. Singh for a Regional Employer Nomination (Permanent) (Class RN) visa, specifically under the Subclass 187 Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme, Direct Entry stream. The dispute centred on whether Mr. Singh met the criteria for this visa subclass.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was to determine whether the applicant had satisfied the requirements for a Subclass 187 visa in the Direct Entry stream. This involved assessing whether the nominated position met the relevant regulatory criteria and whether the nomination itself was valid and approved.

The Tribunal affirmed the decision not to grant the visa. The Member found that the applicant had only sought to satisfy the criteria for the Direct Entry stream and had not made claims in respect of other visa streams. Crucially, the Tribunal concluded that the requirements for the Direct Entry stream had not been met, leading to the affirmation of the original decision. The provided text outlines the specific criteria for a valid nomination under regulation 187.233, which the applicant failed to satisfy.
