He (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) considered the case of *He (Migration)*, which involved an applicant seeking review of a decision to refuse a Student (Temporary) (Class TU) visa, subclass 500. The core of the dispute concerned the applicant's eligibility for the visa, specifically their current enrolment status in a registered course of study and the possession of a valid Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE).

The Tribunal was required to determine whether the applicant met the criteria for a Student visa, particularly the requirement to be enrolled in a registered course of study at the time of the application and to hold a valid CoE. This involved assessing the evidence presented by the applicant regarding their educational pursuits and the validity of their enrolment documentation.

In its reasoning, the Tribunal applied the relevant provisions of the *Migration Regulations 1994* (Cth) and associated policy guidelines. The Tribunal found that the applicant had failed to demonstrate that they were currently enrolled in a registered course of study or that they possessed a valid CoE at the time of the decision. Consequently, the applicant did not satisfy the essential requirements for the grant of a Student visa. The Tribunal affirmed the original decision to refuse the visa.
