Teixeira Freitas (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered an application for a Partner (Temporary) (Class UK) visa, Subclass 820, made by Mr. Teixeira Freitas. The dispute concerned whether Mr. Freitas met the criteria for the visa, specifically in relation to police clearance certificates and other relevant requirements.

The Tribunal was required to determine whether the applicant met the criterion in cl.820.221 of Schedule 2 to the *Migration Regulations 1994* (Cth) and whether the criterion in cl.820.223 was met, in light of new evidence presented.

The Tribunal's reasoning was that upon receiving new evidence, it was satisfied that the criterion in cl.820.223 was met. Consequently, the Tribunal concluded that the matter should be remitted for reconsideration. The Tribunal directed that the applicant meets the criteria for a Subclass 820 visa, specifically cl.820.221 of Schedule 2 to the Regulations. The application was remitted for reconsideration.
