Ashraf v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2018] FCA 1825

Ashraf v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2018] FCA 1825

The appeal was dismissed because the appellant did not establish any error by the Federal Circuit Court or any jurisdictional error by the Tribunal. The Tribunal complied with procedural fairness obligations, the appellant was on notice of the determinative issue, and the visa criteria required completion of the Australian study requirement within the prescribed six-month period. The new grounds not raised in the Federal Circuit Court were not reasonably arguable and leave to advance them on appeal was refused.
