Ali (Migration)

This matter concerned an application for a Skilled Regional Sponsored (Provisional) visa (Subclass 489). The applicant had completed a Job Ready Program and provided evidence in support of their application. The decision under review was made by the Department of Home Affairs.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the applicant had provided a bogus document or information that was false or misleading, which would constitute a breach of section 4020 of the *Migration Act 1958* (Cth). The Tribunal was required to determine if the applicant satisfied clause 489.211 of the Migration Regulations.

The Tribunal found that the applicant had not provided evidence that was false or misleading. Consequently, the Tribunal was satisfied that there was no breach of section 4020 and that the applicant met the requirements of clause 489.211. The Tribunal therefore remitted the decision under review to the Department with a direction that the applicant satisfies clause 489.211.
