Zhong (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered an application for a Partner (Temporary) (Class UK) visa (Subclass 820). The applicant, identified as Zhong, had provided a medical assessment which indicated that the secondary visa applicant met the health requirement.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the secondary visa applicant satisfied Public Interest Criterion 4007, as required by clause 820.224(1A)(b) of Schedule 2 to the *Migration Regulations 1994* (Cth).

The Tribunal was satisfied that the new evidence, specifically the completed medical assessment, demonstrated that the health requirement was met. Consequently, the Tribunal concluded that the criterion was satisfied and determined that the matter should be remitted for reconsideration. The Tribunal remitted the applications for reconsideration with a direction that the second named applicant's visa meets the specified criteria.
