Australian Immigration.
Australia is one of the most popular countries in the world for people to want to migrate to.
Consequently, to avoid an unsustainable fast increase in the countries population, due to Immigration, there are various factors to hold the total numbers of new immigrants in check.
These factors include high visa processing fees and strict limits on annual numbers of visas that can be granted.

MK del Paino 31st March 2022 at 3:36 pm on From Student Visa to Partner VisaDoes this mean, I cannot apply for Visa 482 SE? cause she did not declare me in her first application? or can she apply for PR with her Visa 482 Medium Term Stream?

John F. 29th March 2022 at 6:43 pm on Subclass 476 Processing Time January 2022DHA finally updated processing times, and it muddies the situation up even more. I don't think there is a considerable increase in processing after March 2020. I didn't hear or read any recent grants either. It also appears that the department has not been steered to expedite the process, which raises concerns about the future of 476 visa.
John F. 28th March 2022 at 11:50 pm on Subclass 476 Processing Time January 2022Govt websites don't provide info about individual grants. That's why I asked that question. Also they didn't update processing times this month yet. I think when they update, processing times for 476 will not be available. Have you heard of any 476 visas granted recently?
John F. 28th March 2022 at 7:10 pm on 476 Visa Application Processing timesWhere did you get this info?
