I was not satisfied that you met the relevant criteria for the grant of this visa. Decision: I gave weighed the applicants circumstances and immigration history and have also considered whether there are any other matters relevant to this assessment of her genuine intention to temporarily stay in Australia. On balance I am not satisfied that Ms. (Name) is a genuine applicant for entry and stay as a student because I am not satisfied that she intends to genuinely stay in Australia.
