Hi,
I'm trying to understand how DHA is practically assessing the "in Australia" vs "outside Australia" distinction under Ministerial Direction 119 for subclass 189 applications.
The Direction refers to whether the primary applicant is "in Australia at the time the application is made", but I have not been able to find any guidance on how this is determined in practice.
For example, if an applicant normally residing abroad visit Australia on an Visitor visa, and lodges a subclass 189 while physically present in Australia before returning overseas, would that application be treated as "in Australia at the time the application is made" for MD119 priority purposes, or would DHA still treat the applicant as offshore because their usual residence remains overseas?
Thank you.
Hi all,
Can someone make a FOI to ask for nb of PR grant onshore vs offshore since beginning of FY? I do not understand how there has not been even one offshore grant popping up while, the budget clearly allocates 55k spot to the offshore, going primarly to highly skilled applicants according to them.
@gregormendel, what is your opinion on the situation ?
Thank you
