Mbaka (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered an application for a Skilled (Provisional) (Class VC) visa, specifically the Subclass 485 (Temporary Graduate) visa under the Post-Study Work stream. The applicant sought review of a decision concerning their eligibility for this visa.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the applicant met the Australian study requirement as stipulated by clause 485.231 of Schedule 2 to the *Migration Regulations 1994* (Cth).

The Tribunal found that the applicant satisfied clause 485.231(3) of the Regulations. Consequently, the Tribunal remitted the visa application to the Minister for reconsideration, with the specific direction that the applicant meets this particular criterion. The Minister is to consider the remaining criteria for the visa.
