Seema (Migration)

This matter concerned an application for review of a decision concerning a Subclass 500 (Student) visa. The applicants sought to have the decision remitted for reconsideration.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the applicants had provided adequate evidence of a current Confirmation of Enrolment (COE) and genuine access to sufficient funds, as required by the relevant criteria for a Subclass 500 visa.

The Tribunal determined that a hearing was not necessary, as it was able to find in favour of the applicants based on the existing material, pursuant to s.360(2)(a) of the *Migration Act 1958* (Cth). The Tribunal remitted the application for reconsideration, directing that the applicants meet the criteria specified in cl.500.214 and cl.500.311 of Schedule 2 to the *Migration Regulations 1994* (Cth).
