Zhu (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) considered an application by Mr Zhu and another applicant (the applicants) concerning a Subclass 103 Parent visa. The AAT was tasked with determining whether the applicants met the criteria for this visa.

The central legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the applicants satisfied the requirements for a Subclass 103 visa, specifically clause 103.226 of Schedule 2 to the Migration Regulations 1994. The Tribunal was required to assess the provided material to make this determination.

The Tribunal concluded that a hearing was not necessary, as it was able to find in favour of the applicants based on the existing documentation, pursuant to section 360(2)(a) of the Migration Act 1958. Consequently, the Tribunal remitted the application for reconsideration with a direction that the first applicant meets the specified criteria for the visa.
