Le (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered an application for a Subclass 500 (Student) visa. The applicant sought review of a decision concerning their eligibility for the visa, specifically in relation to English language requirements.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the applicant satisfied the English language proficiency requirements as stipulated by clause 500.213 of Schedule 2 to the *Migration Regulations 1994* (Cth).

The Tribunal's Senior Member, P. Wood, noted that the applicant had provided a copy of an IELTS test report demonstrating an overall score of 5.5. In light of this new evidence, the Tribunal was satisfied that the English language criterion was met. Consequently, the Tribunal remitted the application for reconsideration, directing that the applicant be found to satisfy clause 500.213.
