Updates on priority process categories
The Minister for Immigration has updated his directions to the Department of Home Affairs which outline the order of processing for permanent skilled and temporary work visas (specifically the Subclass 482 visas). A summary of the new priority processing order is below.
Both Directions 91 and 92 give the highest priority to Hong Kong or British National (Overseas) passport holders in each group. For example, Hong Kong Nationals applying for a Sc 188 Significant Investor visa will receive the highest priority of applicants for that visa but will receive lower priority than applicants of other nationalities applying for the Sc 186 Employer Sponsored Skilled Migration visa.
