No data this week

For now, processing is still fastest for applications lodged in early-to-mid 2016. This financial year’s parent migration quota has been reduced from 7,175 to 4,500, and the approval quota may be used up by February. However, there’s recent good news for parent migration — the Assurance of Support (AOS) sponsor requirements aren’t expected to change in the short term.

Why “the AOS requirement for parent migration won’t change in the short term” is good news, plus the latest parent migration processing update and KIRK’s SBS interview recording!
