Kim (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered an application for a Temporary Graduate (Subclass 485) visa. The applicant, identified as Kim, had provided a complete disclosure certificate from the Australian Federal Police dated 16 May 2018, which certified that there were no disclosable court outcomes recorded against them.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the applicant met the criteria for the visa, specifically Public Interest Criterion 4001, in light of the evidence of their criminal history. The Tribunal was required to determine if the complete disclosure certificate satisfied this criterion.

The Tribunal reasoned that the provision of the complete disclosure certificate, confirming no disclosable court outcomes, meant that the applicant had satisfied the relevant criterion. Consequently, the Tribunal remitted the application for reconsideration with a direction that the applicant meets the criteria for the Subclass 485 visa, including Public Interest Criterion 4001.
