Australia to Speed up Pending Visa Applications

There is good news for people who have applied for an Australian visa under skilled immigration category with a pending status. Chris Evans, the Australian Immigration Minister announced plans to speed up the visa applications that have been in queue. Australian Immigration has also established a new advisory service to help in establishing people’s immigration status as quickly as possible. The following plans of forming up a council of immigration services and status resolution were revealed yesterday by the Australian immigration Minister.

The council is purely set to provide guidance and advice on the rollout of the Community Status Resolution Service. The responsibility of the council is set to take over the duties of Detention Advisory Group and will meet initially on 21st of this month to decide the major immigration issues that will be dealt immediately.

Speaking on the same, Evans stated that the council will help Australian immigration officials to process Australian visa applications quickly. He said, “the council will provide independent advice on policies, services and programmes to achieve timely, fair and effective resolution of immigration status for people seeking asylum or other migration outcomes in Australia." He further added that, “the government's focus is on resolving the immigration status of people quickly and fairly while ensuring they are treated humanely and with dignity and respect.” The provision of a quick decision on applications to live in Australia is essential for Australia since many cases are pending and Australia still requires a lot of skilled immigrants in its work forces.
