Barker (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered an application for a Partner (Temporary) (Class UK) visa, Subclass 820. The applicant's criminal history was a significant factor in the decision-making process.

The Tribunal was required to determine whether the applicant met the criteria for the visa, specifically in light of their criminal history and the need for a statement from an appropriate authority.

The Tribunal found that the applicant met the criteria under Regulation 2.03AA(2). Consequently, the Tribunal remitted the application for reconsideration with a direction that the applicant meets the specified visa criteria.
