Tulsiyan (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) considered an application for a Subclass 143 (Contributory Parent) visa. The applicants sought review of a decision concerning their eligibility for this visa, specifically in relation to the requirement for an assurance of support.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the applicants met the criteria for the Subclass 143 visa, particularly in light of new evidence that had been presented. The Tribunal was required to determine if this new evidence satisfied the relevant regulatory requirements, specifically clause 143.228 of Schedule 2 to the Migration Regulations.

The Tribunal, having reviewed the updated information and evidence, concluded that the criterion was met. Exercising its powers under section 360(2)(a) of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth), the Tribunal decided that it could determine the review in the applicants' favour without a hearing. The Tribunal remitted the application for reconsideration with a direction that the applicants meet the specified criteria for the visa.
