Visa Type Temporary Application Lodgement Date 16 April 2015 File Number 03214833 Payment Receipt Number 349623 Information Considered I am a delegated decision maker under Section 65 of the Migration Act 1958 (the Act). In reaching my decision, I have considered the following: ·
relevant legislation contained in the Act and Migration Regulations 1994 (the Regulations) collectively “migration law”; ·
information contained in the department's Procedures Advice Manual 3; ·
documents and information provided by the applicant(s); and ·
other relevant information held on departmental files. Reasons for Decision Under migration law, an application is made for a class of visa and your application must be considered against the criteria for all subclasses within that visa class. Your application has been considered against the criteria for the following subclasses within VISITOR visa class. 600 - VISITOR You did not satisfy Subclause 600.211 of the Migration Regulations 1994, which reads that:
“The applicant genuinely intends to stay temporarily in Australia for the purpose for which the visa is granted, having regard to:
[p=18, null, left](a)
whether the applicant has complied substantially with the conditions to [p=18, null, left]which the last substantive visa, or any subsequent bridging visa, held by the applicant was subject; and[p=18, null, left](b)
whether the applicant intends to comply with the conditions to which the [p=18, null, left]Subclass 600 visa would be subject; and (c) any other relevant matter.” Before a visa can be issued, applicants must demonstrate strong financial, employment and/ or personal ties which would demonstrate their incentive to abide by the conditions of that visa, and depart Australia at the end of their authorised temporary stay. I am not satisfied that you have provided sufficient evidence to demonstrate such ties. You are unemployed and I consider that this circumstance may induce you to remain in Australia and overstay your visa. You have provided insufficient evidence that you, or those offering to support your travel, have access to adequate means to cover the costs of the visit. Considering your financial situation, I am not satisfied that you are a genuine visitor with a commitment to abide by all of the conditions imposed on your visa and leave Australia within visa validity. Based on the information provided in your application, there is no indication that you have previously travelled outside of China. Thus there is no evidence to demonstrate a history of abiding by the conditions of prior visas and departing other countries within visa validity. This is a factor in my decision to refuse your application. Decision As you do not meet one or more clauses in Schedule 2 of the Regulations, I find that you do not meet the criteria for the grant of a VISITOR (Class FA) VISITOR (Subclass 600) visa. Therefore, I refuse your application for a VISITOR (Class FA) VISITOR (Subclass 600) visa lodged at Guangzhou.
