Stella (Migration)

The applicant sought review of a decision concerning their application for a Student (Temporary) (Class TU) visa, Subclass 500. The dispute centred on whether the applicant met the English language requirements stipulated by the relevant regulations. The matter came before the Tribunal for reconsideration.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was to determine whether the applicant satisfied clause 500.213 of Schedule 2 to the Regulations, which pertains to English language proficiency for a Subclass 500 visa.

The Tribunal considered new evidence provided by the applicant, specifically a copy of an IELTS test report demonstrating an overall score of 6.5. Based on this evidence, the Tribunal was satisfied that the English language criterion was met. Consequently, the Tribunal remitted the application for reconsideration, directing that the applicant be found to meet the specified criteria.
