STATEMENT OF DECISION AND REASONS

APPLICATION FOR REVIEW

1. This is an application for review of a decision made by a delegate of the Minister for Immigration to refuse to grant the applicant a Student (Temporary) (Class TU) visa under s.65 of the Migration Act 1958 (the Act). The applicant applied for the visa on 16 March 2017. The delegate refused to grant the visa on 4 May 2017.

2. The delegate made the decision on the basis that evidence of English language ability was not provided as required to satisfy a criterion for the grant of the visa under the Migration Regulations 1994 (the Regulations).

3. The applicant has since provided the Tribunal with a copy of an IELTS test report with an overall score of 6.5. In light of the new evidence received, the Tribunal is satisfied that the criterion is met and has concluded that the matter should be remitted for reconsideration.
