Villanueva (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered an application for a Temporary Business Entry (Class UC) visa, Subclass 457 (Temporary Work (Skilled)), in the matter of Villanueva. The core of the dispute concerned the approval of a nomination for this visa subclass.

The Tribunal was required to determine whether the nomination for the Subclass 457 visa was approved, and consequently, whether the first named applicant met certain criteria for the visa.

The Tribunal found that the nomination was approved and that the first named applicant met criterion cl.457.223(4)(a) of Schedule 2 to the Regulations. Accordingly, the Tribunal remitted the application for the visa to the Minister for reconsideration, with the direction that the first named applicant meets the specified criteria.
