Chung Ting Wan (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered the application of Chung Ting Wan for an Other Family (Residence) (Class BU) visa, specifically a Subclass 838 (Aged Dependent Relative) visa. The central dispute concerned whether the applicant qualified as an aged dependent relative, a criterion for the visa.

The Tribunal was required to determine if the applicant met the prescribed criteria for the Subclass 838 visa. This involved assessing whether the applicant was solely dependent on her sponsor for financial support at the time of the application, particularly in light of the fact that she had several children who were willing to provide financial assistance.

The Tribunal found that the applicant did not meet the criteria for the Subclass 838 visa. The reasoning was that the applicant was not solely dependent on the sponsor, as her children were willing and able to provide financial support. Consequently, the Tribunal affirmed the decision not to grant the applicant the visa.
