Okorie (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered an application for a Subclass 500 (Student) visa. The applicant sought review of a decision concerning their eligibility for the visa, specifically in relation to English language ability.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the applicant met the English language proficiency requirements for the Subclass 500 visa, as stipulated by clause 500.213 of Schedule 2 to the *Migration Regulations 1994* (Cth).

The Tribunal was satisfied that the applicant had provided a PTE academic institution score report demonstrating an overall score of 60. In light of this new evidence, the Tribunal concluded that the English language criterion was met. Consequently, the Tribunal remitted the application for reconsideration, directing that the applicant be found to meet the relevant criteria.
