Verhoeven (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered an application for a Skilled (Provisional) (Class VC) visa made by an applicant, Ms. Verhoeven. The dispute concerned whether Ms. Verhoeven met a specific criterion, clause 485.231 of Schedule 2 to the *Migration Regulations 1994* (Cth), for the grant of the visa.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was to determine whether Ms. Verhoeven satisfied the requirements of clause 485.231. This clause relates to meeting certain English language proficiency requirements for the Subclass 485 visa.

The Tribunal found, on the basis of its findings, that Ms. Verhoeven did meet clause 485.231. Consequently, the Tribunal determined that the appropriate course of action was to remit the visa application back to the Minister for reconsideration of the remaining criteria for the visa. The Tribunal directed that the applicant meets the criterion specified in clause 485.231.
