Jazzcrave Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Now that you have bought it up - It is all a big money making machine, this immigration department. In 2011 when they "reviewed" their pricing structure and introduced "fee for all applicants" the economy received a $1.7 billion injection! now according to this link they will make an extra $250 million this year. I think they are untouched by ACCC and the buyers of their services cannot be covered by consumer protection laws but I may be wrong there. However, there is no denying that it is the "seller's market." As long as there is demand and the supply is scarce - prices will be high (ninth grade economics)! Contrary to the comment "when my kids ask for money..... " I will have to tell them "your dad used to be a money machine, until the day he applied for a PR" But hey, no one forced my hand at this, I chose to apply for the visa after reviewing all options and going through the prices. So, I shouldn't be complaining :daydreaming: Its goung to take your 1 full year may be bit more to find out loopholes and attempting to do something about the system, but hey as you said economics it applies and enforced to not only us but to small to medium business as well leaving big chains out who didn't pay their taxes from last 5 yeas that's why I said be proud at least you spent a lot of money so might as well.
