George Lombard Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Tomorrow the Australian Senate will vote on the disallowance motion concerning the abolition of the above four visa categories on 2 June. If the disallowance motion is successful, the Department has advised there will be a six month window to again lodge these applications. A new Regulation that has the same effect as a disallowed Regulation cannot be made within the six months following the disallowance. The Department has advised that If the disallowance motion is successful, then all the Parent and Other Family visa categories will be open to applications from that moment. Paper applications for these visas could be accepted tomorrow, however, they would not be receipted immediately, because it will take 24 hours to bring those systems back online. Personally I think the Department is taking a very responsible line to allow these visa categories to run for six months if the disallowance is successful. Fingers crossed, everyone. If anyone wants to lobby the Senate crossbench, now would be the time :-) Cheers, George Lombard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
