Exactly how should the “best interests of children” be considered in a case involving visa cancellation on character grounds?

Or for that matter, in any other migration decision?

For example, do the “best interests” of children override all other considerations?

Can translation problems at the Administrative Appeals Tribunal be a source of jurisdictional error?

And if so, under what circumstances?

This is a question that must surely occur very frequently.

What is the consequence if the Tribunal makes a jurisdictional error?

Will that necessarily mean that in each and every case where jurisdictional error has occurred, the case must automatically be remitted back to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal for a full re-hearing?

Suppose though that, even if there has been a jurisdictional error, there is an issue in the case, such that the criteria for the grant of the visa cannot possibly be satisfied.

With similar climates, wide-open spaces, good schooling and a strong economy, New Zealand is also an attractive destination, already popular in China. For those who are weighing up the options, the NZ Investor 2 being equivalent to AUD 2.2M is less than half the amount of Australia’s AUD 5M Significant Investor Visa. Further, the opportunity to invest in certain “off-the-plan” property will be well received by Chinese investment migrants. 

Immigration New Zealand (INZ) has implemented positive changes to their Migrant Investor Visa categories effective 22 May 2017.
