alilibra4 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 [h=2]Changes to Security Clearance Arrangements[/h] ASIO will reduce the number of security clearances conducted for applicants for migration to Australia, and is budgeted to save $6.9 million over the next 4 years.Under the new arrangements, security clearances will only be required where the applicant is likely to be a risk. However, security clearances will still be required for all boat arrivals. Currently, security clearances can lead to significant delays in processing of visa applications - these can take 12 months or more for some countries. This change is a welcome one as it removes a significant processing bottleneck, and it is hoped that processing times for people applying for migration to Australia can be reduced. http://www.acacia-au.com/immigration_portfolio_budget_2011-12.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Applications which have been lodged without full and complete documentation may also take longer to finalise. If you do not hear from us for a while, do not be concerned. You will be contacted by your case officer about any additional information or documents that may be required in order to make a decision on your application. You are required to advise the Immigration and Citizenship Section of the Australian High Commission, Islamabad if you change address or if there is any other change to your circumstances, including marriage, separation, divorce, or birth of a child.
