21.01.2022 Current trends in processing of Visas Based on current trends within our office and the industry in general, the following appear to be the current trends in processing and granting of visas within the Covid-19 arena: Processing has slowed considerably, and many applicants are wait listed for a decision further down the track, however applicants are referred to the general processing times when queried.... The MIA has confirmed that requests to enter Australia by family members and critical workers are generally being refused and that it is difficult to obtain consent to enter regardless of the family situation. This is currently being confirmed within our practice. Employer sponsored visas processing has slowed dramatically and although unfortunate it is to be expected given the political view on migrants currently and the unprecedented unemployment figures in Australia at the moment. More queries regarding the requirement for a migrant worker have been received in the face of the unemployment statistics Although employer sponsored visas are still being granted, they are at a much slower rate than normal and most are for transitional visas. Nurses seem to be the most sought after occupations at this time. Permanent partner visas (Subclass 801) are currently being granted without much query and delay. Skilled visas, Subclass 491 and Subclass 190 are mainly granted for onshore applicants and a very small number of student and graduate visas have been approved onshore. There have been no approvals at this stage for the Subclass 408 (Covid Stream) Visa

20.01.2022 **Biometrics collection appointments are re-opening** The Department of Home Affairs has indicated that from the 19 October 2020 the collection of biometrics services will resume at existing collection locations.

Updated information on the AVACs and ABCCs can be found at the link below on the Home Affairs website : Offices outside Australia We are aware that you may not be able to provide biometrics in certain locations due to in-country COVID-19 restrictions.

20.01.2022 457 / TSS visa holders and Covid-19 Acting Minister for Immigration Alan Tudge, has indicated that if you are a sponsor for a Subclass 457 / TSS visa holder then you should be aware of the following: The employer can reduce the working hours of 457/TSS holders but should not reduce the hourly rate as this is not allowed unless the applicant specifically agrees to the reduction.... Employees who are stood down are considered to still be employed and will therefore not be subject to cancellation and it is generally acknowledged that the shortage that resulted in the visa will still be present when the Covid-19 crisis is over. Information regarding redundancies of 457 / TSS visa holders should still be sent to the Department in terms of the 28 day notification policy and the employees who are made redundant will be required to find a new sponsored within 60 days of the date of termination of employment. Sponsors continue to have an obligation to pay repatriation costs for employees and their families and this could be more expensive than reducing work hours or making arrangements for unpaid leave. Taking unpaid leave is acceptable and the employee will be considered to be in continuous employment of the employer. Visa holders can now withdraw up to $10,000 from their super for this financial year; Time worked with the employer prior to the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to be counted towards permanent residence after the crises has abated. The policy on this should be made available in due course.

16.01.2022 CONCESSIONS MAY BE GRANTED FOR SUBCLASS 309 ONSHORE APPROVALS Visa concessions will be introduced by the federal government so that offshore family and partner visa applicants don’t have to leave the country to get their visa during the coronavirus pandemic. Although Applicants and advocated are calling for immediate changes, the government says that changes will only be introduced in "early 2021". These will allow those applicants who are onshore to have their visa granted ...while in Australia rather than forcing them to travel offshore for the visa to be granted. Labour MP Mr Julian Hill, who introduced the Bill, said disruptions to international air travel and border restrictions have created considerable difficulties for affected individuals. All my bill does is allow the partners of Australians who were already here in Australia to stay here with their loved one, rather than being forced to take an expensive trip overseas to come back and waste a quarantine place simply to have their partner visa granted, he said. It seems like common sense in the middle of a global pandemic.
