Yu (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) considered an application for review by Ms. Yu concerning a Student (Temporary) (Class TU) visa, subclass 500. The central issue before the Tribunal was whether it possessed jurisdiction to hear Ms. Yu's application for review.

The Tribunal was required to determine whether Ms. Yu's application for review had been lodged within the time prescribed by the relevant migration legislation. This determination was critical to establishing whether the Tribunal had the legal authority to proceed with the substantive merits of her visa application.

Member Millbank reasoned that the application for review was received by the Tribunal on 22 October 2018. As this date was outside the statutory time limit for lodging such applications, the Tribunal concluded that it lacked jurisdiction to consider the matter. Consequently, the Tribunal made no substantive decision on the visa application itself.
