Seemab v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs - Partner Visa Appeal Dismissed

The Federal Court of Australia dismissed the appeal of Arsla Seemab challenging a Federal Circuit and Family Court decision. The appellant failed to demonstrate any appealable error in the lower court's dismissal of her judicial review application regarding the refusal of a Partner visa by a delegate of the Minister for Immigration and Border Protection. The case concerned whether Ms Seemab satisfied the criteria under cl 820.211 of sch 2 to the Migration Regulations 1994 (Cth), specifically the requirement to be a spouse of an Australian citizen at the time of her visa application. The Tribunal had affirmed the delegate's decision finding she was not her sponsor's spouse at the relevant time.
