一名巴基斯坦学生以学生身份持留学生签证以及过桥签证在澳大利亚生活了八年多，却几乎没有完成一门课程。因此当法庭发现他的主要目的是在澳大利亚生活而不是学习之后，他未能申请到第三个签证留在澳大利亚。 <br />
联邦巡回法院法官Greg Egan上周维持行政上诉法庭（AAT）的一项裁决，即学生Saqib Noor自2012年以来未完成包括大学学位，文凭和证书在内的七个课程中的任何课程，此举表明他正在申请的第三次学生签证， “其主要目的是保留住他的澳大利亚居留权”。
法院的裁决中指出，他唯一完成的课程是专业会计四级证书。
AAT指出，学生签证是给有真正打算暂时留在澳大利亚学习的留学生的。
Noor先生对AAT陈述，他需要获得澳大利亚大学的商科学士学位才能返回巴基斯坦，并在他父亲的快餐店工作。
Egan法官指出，AAT认为Noor先生“未能详细解释为何他需要商科学士学位才能在其父亲位于巴基斯坦的快餐店工作”。
法院裁决称，Noor先生于2012年11月4日首次来到澳大利亚留学，在注册但未完成包括工商管理和会计学位在内的各种课程之后，他于2018年9月29日申请了他的第三个学生签证。
Noor先生此前曾两次在商科学士和会计学士学位之间转换课程。
他的第三个学生签证申请于2019年1月11日被内政部拒绝签发。
Noor先生随后向行政上诉法庭提出上诉，该法庭于2019年11月29日驳回上诉。
之后他再次向联邦巡回法院提出上诉。
在案件审理期间，他得以留在澳大利亚等候结果。
法院获悉他在2017年的六个月中没有参加任何课程，这违反了他的签证条件。
并且尽管在巴基斯坦有未婚妻，他在过去的七年中只回了巴基斯坦两次。
法院还获悉，这些年来他的未婚妻从未到澳大利亚探望他。
Egan法官最终裁定Noor先生的上诉失败，因为他无法证明AAT在他的案件处理中犯了任何错误。

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”.
The only course he did complete was a certificate IV in professional accounting, the court decision states.
Student visas are given to people who have a genuine intention to remain in Australia temporarily, to study, the AAT found.
Mr Noor told the AAT that he needed a Bachelor of Business from an Australian university in order to return to Pakistan and work in his father’s fast food restaurant.
Judge Egan noted the AAT pointed out that Mr Noor had “failed to explain in any meaningful detail, why he requires a Bachelor of Business in order to work in his father’s fast food restaurant in Pakistan”.
Mr Noor first came to Australia to study on November 4, 2012 and after enrolling but not completing various courses ranging from diplomas to degrees in business management and accounting he applied for his third student visa on September 29, 2018, the court decision states.
Mr Noor had previously switched his course between a Bachelor of Business and a Bachelor of Accounting twice.
His bid for a third student visa was rejected by the Department of Home Affairs on January 11, 2019.
Mr Noor then appealed to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal, which rejected his case on November 29, 2019.
He then appealed to the Federal Circuit Court.
He was able to remain in Australia while his cases were before the courts.
For six months in 2017 he was not enrolled in any course, which was contrary to his visa conditions.
He only returned to Pakistan twice over the past seven years, despite having a fiancee back home.
She had never travelled to visit him in Australia, the court heard.
Judge Egan ruled that Mr Noor’s appeal had failed because he failed to show the AAT had made a mistake in his case.
