KATRAGADDA (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered an application for a Student (Temporary) (Class TU) visa, Subclass 500 (Student), made by the applicant. The dispute concerned whether the applicant met the enrolment criteria for the visa.

The Tribunal was required to determine if the applicant satisfied the primary criterion of enrolment in a course of study, as stipulated by clause 500.211 of Schedule 2 to the Regulations. This involved assessing the evidence provided by the applicant regarding their course and tuition fee payments.

The Tribunal found that the applicant had provided a Confirmation of Enrolment for a Graduate Certificate in Management, along with evidence of a partial tuition fee payment. Based on this evidence, the Tribunal was satisfied that the applicant met the enrolment criterion under clause 500.211. Consequently, the Tribunal remitted the applications for the visas to the Minister for reconsideration, directing that the applicants met this specific criterion.
