21.01.2022 "To take their skills, their businesses and things that they have been running under the previous set of rules and arrangements in Hong Kong, and seek that opportunity elsewhere."

21.01.2022 "... a spokesperson for the Department of Home Affairs earlier said: Visas continue to be processed during the coronavirus pandemic, though some applications may take longer as international shutdowns have made it difficult to source supplementary information like health and character checks.

20.01.2022 Mr Hill said that far from cutting the flow of permanent migrants, "Australia will continue to need permanent migrants to build a life here, helping to boost demand and pay down Australia's post-COVID debt", as well as slow down the ageing of the population. "A good way of kick-starting permanent migration in the wake of the COVID crisis could be for the government to clear the outrageous backlog of #spouse and #partner visa applications," he said.

20.01.2022 "Those applying for an Australian partner visa can now expect to wait an average of two years, and pay about $8000, with many forking out thousands more in migration agent fees. It's one of the slowest and most expensive visa processes in the world."

19.01.2022 "But it may well be that the best thing to do as we start to open up is to allow family reunion to support those migrants who have already made Australia home. "It isn't just skills. We also need to consider the needs of those who already here to have their families join them."

18.01.2022 Proving your eligibility for a #PartnerVisa grant can be challenging. "Home Affairs said it was not satisfied she and Mr Hartley were in a de facto relationship based on the evidence they provided. It included thousands of text messages, selfies taken on romantic holidays, bank statements and letters from friends confirming the pair were a couple."

17.01.2022 There are no specific details yet but this will be an inconvenient & added expense for Partner Visa applicants.

16.01.2022 "Because they're on a temporary visa, they have very limited access to employment and Centrelink benefits. They're also not eligible for any of the government stimulus package supports and ... tend to work as casuals or in industries which were shut down pretty quickly, for example restaurants or beauty salons," Morris told ABC News

16.01.2022 "... the heavy lifting has been done by people from nations such as China, India, Britain, New Zealand and the #Philippines who have decided to call Australia home."

15.01.2022 The Department of Home Affairs has a provision to allow travel exemptions where it is essential, in the national interest or on humanitarian or compassionate grounds. According to this provision, travellers who believe they have a compassionate or compelling reason to travel urgently will need to have an exemption from the ABF Commissioner, who will then determine if an applicant is eligible to travel.

15.01.2022 "... we also need key health workers to help fight the virus and skilled migrants who are going to be job multipliers, to help the economy recover.- Mr. Tydge said.

13.01.2022 The Australian Government determined that the $300,000 treatment a year for their son Darragh - who suffers from cystic fibrosis - would be a burden on taxpayers. With the visa cut-off date set for June 18, the family has urged the government to intervene in a bid to stay in Australia. Already, a number of state and federal politicians have thrown their support behind the family.

13.01.2022 "It’s one of the most expensive visas in the world, and has one of the longest processing times in its category."

13.01.2022 "...but they didn’t come to the country in the appropriate way, they have not been found to have an asylum claim, and to change our policy on this or to exercise intervention powers on this would be to send exactly the wrong message to those who are looking to sell tickets to vulnerable people looking to get on boats, he said...

13.01.2022 "Not doubt about it, international students are big business. In 2017 they were our third-largest export, earning the country $32.4 billion."

11.01.2022 Immigrants help keep the economy going they don’t just contribute by way of filling a job, but rather a migrant and their presence in the country help create other jobs. She said there was a common myth that migrants are stealing jobs from locals. Rather, they fill much-needed roles when it comes to skills, and of course they fill jobs the local population don’t want to do, Dr Liz Allen.

08.01.2022 While the department does not usually comment on individual cases, it has previously said: "Most visas require applicants to meet the migration health requirement set out in Australian migration law. The health requirement is not condition-specific and the assessment is undertaken individually for each applicant based on their condition and level of severity." "It is an objective assessment to determine whether the care of the individual during their stay in Australia would likely result in significant costs to the Australian community or prejudice the access of Australian citizens and permanent residents to services in short supply

08.01.2022 "Decisions by the ABF Commissioner regarding inbound travel exemptions are balanced against the Government's imposed rules and guidelines, which entail the health risks posed to the Australian community by international travellers," the spokesperson said.

08.01.2022 "Who can get the visas? More than 8200 students, 900 temporary graduate visa and 570 temporary skilled visa holders now in Australia and 2000 who have had their visas approved but are still overseas are eligible for the five-year extension. They will then be able to apply for permanent residency after the extension expires."

04.01.2022 "Asylum seekers and immigration lawyers say Government officials routinely use social media posts to challenge an applicant's identity and claim for protection and documents obtained by the ABC confirm that official guidance exists for this practice."

04.01.2022 "To limit COVID-19 spread, foreign nationals who did not meet travel exemptions were barred from Australia from March 20, and five days later, Australian citizens and permanent residents were prohibited from leaving unless an exemption had been granted."

04.01.2022 The Hydes have now had their deportation appeal formally rejected but the tribunal reviewing their case has recommended it be referred to the Department of Immigration. They will then decide if Minister David Coleman should intervene. Today the visa was refused as expected, Christine Hyde wrote on family’s petition website. However, the member has made a decision to recommend our case to be referred to the minister. This means the case goes back to the department of immigr...ation and they will decide if the minister should look at our case to intervene. We still have a battle to get the minister's attention.

03.01.2022 "The Australian government announced changes including the restart for approvals of student visas requested internationally, waiving visa extension fees of $620, while online study overseas will count towards a post-study work visa and graduates on a student visa can apply for post-study work visas from overseas. "

03.01.2022 "Australians married to someone who is not an Australian resident will have to wait even longer to be with their spouses or de facto partners, as processing times stretch for offshore partner visa applications amid the outbreak."

02.01.2022 The department of home affairs stipulates that to meet the health requirement for permanent residency, applicants must be free from any disease or condition that is a significant healthcare and community service cost to the Australian community.... Ministerial intervention powers exist in the Migration Act, the spokesperson said. These powers allow the minister to intervene in cases which present unique and exceptional circumstances and where it is considered in the public interest to do so.

01.01.2022 We should use this period to improve on our skilled migration system to ensure that when the borders open up again, Australia is the destination of choice for the best and brightest," CEDA chief economist Jarrod Ball said.

01.01.2022 "A sex offender is being deported from Australia every second day under a crackdown on foreign criminals. A staggering 31 sex offenders were sent packing in just the first two months of 2019, including 19 paedophiles."

01.01.2022 Proving eligibility for a #PartnerVisa grant can be challenging. "They don’t believe that there’s a genuine relationship, the lawyer explains over the phone." #PARTNERVISA
