Siddiqui (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered an application for a Visitor (Class FA) visa, subclass 600, made by Mr. Siddiqui. The core of the dispute concerned whether Mr. Siddiqui met Public Interest Criterion (PIC) 4005, which relates to health requirements for visa applicants.

The Tribunal was required to determine if, in light of new evidence presented, Mr. Siddiqui satisfied PIC 4005. This criterion is a mandatory requirement for the grant of the subclass 600 visa.

The Tribunal's reasoning was that the new evidence received demonstrated that Mr. Siddiqui met the health requirements stipulated by PIC 4005. Consequently, the Tribunal concluded that the matter should be remitted for reconsideration. The Tribunal remitted the application for reconsideration with a direction that Mr. Siddiqui meets the criteria under cl.600.2013 of Schedule 2 to the Regulations.
