The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered an application for review concerning a Subclass 500 (Student) visa. The applicant sought to have set aside the decision of the Minister not to grant this visa.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the applicant met the criteria for the grant of a Subclass 500 (Student) visa, specifically the requirement to be a genuine temporary student. The Tribunal also noted that the applicant did not claim to meet the criteria for a Subclass 590 (Student Guardian) visa.

The Tribunal found that the applicant did not meet the criteria for the grant of the Subclass 500 visa. This finding was based on the Tribunal's assessment of the applicant's circumstances, which led to the conclusion that the applicant was not a genuine temporary student. Consequently, the Tribunal affirmed the decision not to grant the visa.
