Nguyen v MIMA (1998) 158 ALR 639STATEMENT OF DECISION AND REASONS
APPLICATION FOR REVIEW
This is an application for review of a decision made by a delegate of the Minister for Home Affairs on 17 October 2022 to refuse to grant the visa applicants Child (Migrant) (Class AH) visas under s 65 of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth) (the Act).
The visa applicants, (1, 2, 3, 4) applied for the visas on 24 June 2020. At that time, Class AH contained three subclasses: Subclass 101 (Child), Subclass 102 (Adoption) and Subclass 117 (Orphan Relative). In this case, claims have been made in respect of the Subclass 117 visa.
The criteria for a Subclass 117 visa are set out in Part 117 of Schedule 2 to the Migration Regulations 1994 (Cth) (the Regulations). Relevantly to this case, they include cl 117.211. Cl 117.211 requires that the applicants are orphan relatives of another person who is an Australian citizen, an Australian permanent resident or an eligible New Zealand citizen
The delegate refused to grant the visas because the visa applicants did not meet cl 117.211 of Schedule 2 to the Regulations because they were not satisfied that the evidence presented was sufficient to demonstrate the claimed relationship with the review applicant Mrs Nazli Alikhil as their paternal aunt.
The review applicant appeared before the Tribunal on 30 August 2023 to give evidence and present arguments. The Tribunal also received oral evidence from visa applicant 1 and the review applicant’s husband.
The Tribunal hearing was conducted with the assistance of an interpreter in the Pashto and English languages.
The review applicant was represented in relation to the review.
For the following reasons, the Tribunal has…

CaseChat Overview and Summary
This matter concerned applications for Child (Migrant) (Class AH) visas, specifically Subclass 117 (Orphan Relative) visas, made by four applicants. The review applicant was the paternal aunt of the visa applicants. The core dispute revolved around whether the visa applicants met the criteria for being considered "orphan relatives" as defined by the Migration Regulations 1994. The decision was made by Peter Emmerton, a Member of the Tribunal.
The legal issues before the Tribunal were whether the four visa applicants met the requirements of cl 117.211 and cl 117.221 of Schedule 2 to the Regulations, specifically by satisfying the definition of an "orphan relative" under Regulation 1.14. This required determining if each applicant was under 18, had no spouse or de facto partner, was a relative of the review applicant, and could not be cared for by either parent due to their death, permanent incapacity, or unknown whereabouts. Additionally, the Tribunal had to consider whether granting the visa would be in the best interests of each applicant.
The Tribunal found that a substantial body of additional evidence strongly suggested or demonstrated the familial connection between the visa applicants and the review applicant, their paternal aunt. Evidence presented, including a death certificate for the applicants' father, indicated that the applicants' parents were deceased. The Tribunal considered all evidence presented in an open, honest, and cooperative manner. Based on these findings, the Tribunal concluded that the matter should be remitted for reconsideration.
The Tribunal remitted the applications for Child (Migrant) (Class AH) visas for reconsideration. It directed that the four named visa applicants met the criteria for a Subclass 117 (Orphan Relative) visa, specifically cl 117.211 and cl 117.221 of Schedule 2 to the Regulations.

Decision
Reasons for decision
Given these findings, the appropriate course is to remit the visa application to the Minister to consider the remaining criteria for the visa.DECISION The Tribunal remits the applications for Child (Migrant) (Class AH) visas for reconsideration, with the direction that the four named visa applicants, (1, 2, 3, 4) meet the following criteria for a Subclass 117 (Orphan Relative) visa:·cl 117.211 of Schedule 2 to the Regulations; and·cl 117.221 of Schedule 2 to the Regulations.Peter EmmertonMemberATTACHMENT – RELEVANT LAWMigration Regulations 19941.14Orphan relativeAn applicant for a visa is an orphan relative of another person who is an Australian citizen, an Australian permanent resident or an eligible New Zealand citizen if:(a)the applicant:(i)has not turned 18; and(ii)does not have a spouse or de facto partner; and(iii)is a relative of that other person; and(b)the applicant cannot be cared for by either parent because each of them is either dead, permanently incapacitated or of unknown whereabouts; and(c)there is no compelling reason to believe that the grant of a visa would not be in the best interests of the applicant.
