Niu (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered an application for a Subclass 485 (Temporary Graduate) visa by Mr. Niu. The dispute concerned whether Mr. Niu met the character requirements for the visa, specifically the need for a statement from an appropriate authority, such as a National Police Certificate.

The Tribunal was required to determine if Mr. Niu satisfied criterion cl.485.216 of Schedule 2 to the Migration Regulations 1994, which relates to the character test. This involved assessing whether the provided documentation adequately demonstrated that Mr. Niu met the character requirements for the visa.

Upon receiving new evidence, the Tribunal was satisfied that the criterion was met. Consequently, the Tribunal remitted the application for reconsideration, directing that Mr. Niu be considered to meet the relevant character criteria for the Subclass 485 visa.
