Shoume (Migration)

The applicant, Shoume, sought judicial review of a decision made by the Migration Review Tribunal concerning an application for a Visitor (Class FA) visa, Subclass 600 (Visitor), Sponsored Family stream. The primary dispute revolved around whether the applicant was a genuine temporary entrant.

The core legal issue before the Tribunal was to determine if the applicant met the criteria for a Subclass 600 visa, specifically clause 600.211 of Schedule 2 to the *Migration Regulations 1994* (Cth), which pertains to the genuine temporary entrant requirement. The Tribunal was also required to consider the applicant's travel history and their stated role as the sole caregiver to their mother in their home country.

The Tribunal found that the applicant did meet the criteria under clause 600.211. Consequently, the Tribunal remitted the application for reconsideration, directing that the visa applicant be considered to meet the specified criteria for the Subclass 600 (Visitor) (Family Sponsored) Visa.
