Tran (Migration)

This matter concerned an application for review by Mr. Tran in relation to a Partner (Temporary) (Class UK) visa. The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) was required to determine whether it had jurisdiction to hear Mr. Tran's application.

The central legal issue before the Tribunal was whether Mr. Tran's application for review had been lodged within the time prescribed by the relevant legislation. This question of jurisdiction was determinative of whether the Tribunal could proceed to consider the merits of Mr. Tran's application.

The Tribunal found that the application for review was received on 10 April 2020. As this date fell outside the period prescribed by the relevant legislation for lodging such an application, the Tribunal concluded that it lacked jurisdiction to hear the matter. Accordingly, the Tribunal determined that it did not have jurisdiction in this matter.
