              414’) is a reference to a visa granted on satisfaction of the criteria for the grant of
              the visa, or the grant of the visa in a stream, set out in the Part of Schedule 2 that
              bears the number of the subclass.

              on satisfaction of the criteria for the grant of the visa, or the grant of the visa in a
              stream, set out in the Part of Schedule 2 that bears the number of the subclass.
