Ganeshadasan (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered an application for a Skilled (Provisional) (Class VC) visa, subclass 485, by Mr. Ganeshadasan. The dispute centred on whether the applicant met the criteria for the grant of a Temporary Graduate (Post-Study Work) visa in the Post-Study Work stream.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the applicant had satisfied clause 485.212 of the Migration Regulations 1994. This clause requires applicants to provide evidence of having completed an English language test within a specified timeframe.

The Tribunal found that the applicant had not met the criteria for the visa because there was a lack of evidence demonstrating the completion of the required English test within the stipulated timeframe. Consequently, the Tribunal affirmed the decision under review.
