Singh (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 this visa.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the applicant met the requirements of Public Interest Criterion (PIC) 4005(1) of Schedule 2 to the *Migration Regulations 1994* (Cth).

The Tribunal determined that a hearing was not necessary, as it could find in favour of the applicant based on the existing material, pursuant to s 360(2)(a) of the *Migration Act 1958* (Cth). Consequently, the Tribunal remitted the application for reconsideration with a direction that the applicant meets the criteria for the Subclass 500 visa, specifically PIC 4005.
