Gantada (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) considered the application of Gantada for a Skilled (Provisional) (Class VC) visa, specifically a Subclass 485 visa. The dispute concerned whether the applicant met a particular criterion for this visa.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was to determine whether the applicant satisfied clause 485.231 of Schedule 2 to the relevant Regulations.

The Tribunal found that the applicant did meet clause 485.231. Consequently, the Tribunal remitted the visa application back to the Minister for reconsideration, with the specific direction that the applicant had satisfied this criterion. The Minister was then to consider the remaining criteria for the visa.
