A Pakistani student who has been living in Australia on student and bridging visas for more than eight years without barely finishing a single course has failed in his bid to stay in Australia on a third visa after a tribunal found his main aim was to live in Australia and not to study.
Federal Circuit Court Judge Greg Egan last week upheld a ruling by the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) that student Saqib Noor's failure to complete a single one of seven courses including university degrees, diplomas and certificates since 2012 showed his application for a third student visa was "made with the primary objective of maintaining ongoing residency in Australia".
