NGUYEN (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered an application for an Other Family (Residence) (Class BU) visa, specifically a Subclass 836 (Carer) visa. The applicant sought this visa, but the medical condition requiring care was not held by the visa sponsor. Instead, the sponsor was the applicant's brother, who was an Australian resident.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the applicant met the criteria for a Subclass 836 (Carer) visa, particularly in light of the relationship between the applicant, the person with the medical condition, and the sponsor. The Tribunal was required to determine if the specific criteria outlined in clause 836.213 of Schedule 2 to the Regulations were satisfied.

The Tribunal's reasoning led to the conclusion that the matter should be remitted for reconsideration. The Tribunal directed that the criteria for a Subclass 836 (Carer) visa, as specified in clause 836.213 of Schedule 2 to the Regulations, were met. Consequently, the Tribunal remitted the application for reconsideration.
