Letoa (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered an application for a Skilled Independent (Permanent) visa (Subclass 189) made by the primary applicant, Letoa, and secondary applicants. The dispute concerned whether the primary applicant's income met the specified level required for the visa.

The Tribunal was required to determine if the primary applicant satisfied the income threshold as stipulated by the relevant criteria for a Subclass 189 visa. This involved assessing the provided Notices of Taxation Assessment and considering any new evidence presented.

The Tribunal found that the primary applicant met the essential criteria for the visa, specifically cl 189.232 of Schedule 2 to the Regulations. Consequently, the Tribunal remitted the applications of the secondary applicants for reconsideration, with the direction that the primary applicant had met the necessary income requirements.
