Stroop (Migration)

The applicant, Stroop, sought review of a decision concerning an application for a Partner (Migrant) (Class BC) visa, Subclass 100. The dispute centred on whether the applicant had provided the required police certificate evidencing their criminal history. The matter came before the Tribunal.

The Tribunal was required to determine whether the applicant had satisfied the requirement for a police certificate issued by an appropriate authority that provided evidence of their criminal history. This involved considering the adequacy of the documents provided, specifically an NBI Clearance Certificate from the Republic of the Philippines and an Australian Federal Police National Police Report.

The Tribunal found that the applicant had provided the necessary documentation. Consequently, the Tribunal remitted the application for the Subclass 100 visa to the Minister for reconsideration, with a direction that the applicant met the criteria specified in c1.100.222 of Schedule 2 to the Regulations, pursuant to sub-regulation 2.003AA(2)(a).
