Tuomola (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered an application for review concerning a Temporary Business Entry (Class UC) visa, Subclass 457 (Temporary Work (Skilled)). The applicant had submitted a new sponsorship application, but the applicant was not identified in the nomination by an 'approved sponsor'.

The central legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the delegate's decision was reviewable in these circumstances. This question determined whether the Tribunal had jurisdiction to hear the applicant's application for review.

The Tribunal reasoned that because the applicant was not identified in the nomination by an approved sponsor, the delegate's decision was not reviewable. Consequently, the application for review was not properly made, and the Tribunal lacked jurisdiction to proceed with the matter. The Tribunal therefore concluded it did not have jurisdiction.
