Zhao (Migration)

The applicant, Mr Zhao, sought review of a decision not to grant him an Employer Nomination (Permanent) (Class EN) visa, specifically within the Temporary Residence Transition stream. The application was made under Subclass 186.

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal was required to determine whether Mr Zhao met the criteria for the Subclass 186 visa in the Temporary Residence Transition stream. This involved considering whether the nominated position met the relevant regulatory requirements, including the applicant's status as a holder of a Subclass 457 visa in relation to that position, the Minister's approval of the nomination, and the continued availability of the position.

The Tribunal affirmed the decision not to grant the visa, finding that the requirements for the Temporary Residence Transition stream had not been met. The provided text does not detail the specific reasons for the non-satisfaction of these criteria, nor does it elaborate on the outcome of any invitation issued under s 359A of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth). The Tribunal's decision was to affirm the original decision.
