Wong (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) considered a matter involving Mr. Wong, who sought review of a decision concerning his Student (Temporary) (Class TU) visa, subclass 500. The central dispute revolved around the timeliness of Mr. Wong's application for review.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether it possessed jurisdiction to hear Mr. Wong's application for review, given that the application was lodged after the prescribed time limit.

The Tribunal determined that the application for review was not received until 1 November 2023. As this date fell outside the statutory timeframe for lodging such an application, the Tribunal concluded that the application had not been made in accordance with the relevant legislative requirements. Consequently, the Tribunal held that it lacked jurisdiction to consider the merits of Mr. Wong's case.
