Ali (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered an application for a Subclass 500 (Student) visa. The applicant, Ali, had initially failed to provide evidence of English language proficiency, which was a requirement for the visa.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the applicant met the English language proficiency criterion for the Subclass 500 visa, particularly in light of new evidence submitted during the review process.

The Tribunal found that the English language proficiency criterion, specifically cl.500.213 of Schedule 2 to the Regulations, was satisfied upon consideration of the additional evidence provided by the applicant. Consequently, the Tribunal remitted the application for reconsideration, directing that the applicant be taken to meet this criterion.
