Mumbo (Migration)

This matter concerned an application for a Skilled (Provisional) (Class VC) visa, Subclass 485 (Temporary Graduate), before the Administrative Appeals Tribunal. The applicant sought review of a decision relating to their eligibility for this visa.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the applicant met the character requirements as stipulated by clause 485.216(1) of Schedule 2 to the relevant Migration Regulations. This clause pertains to the provision of a criminal history statement.

The Tribunal considered an Australian Federal Police National Police certificate provided by the applicant, which indicated no disclosable court outcomes. Based on this evidence, the Tribunal was satisfied that the applicant met the criterion in clause 485.216(1). Consequently, the Tribunal remitted the visa application to the Minister for reconsideration of the remaining eligibility criteria.
