Pham v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2018] FCA 1946

Pham v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2018] FCA 1946

The documents provided by the appellant, specifically the report from Mr Le, did not satisfy the evidentiary requirements in IMMI 12/116 as they did not detail any therapeutic treatment for mental health consistent with the claimed family violence; therefore, the visa application did not include a 'non-judicially determined claim of family violence' and the appeal must be dismissed.
