@gregormendel do you think early June 2026 189 offshore applicants can expect a grant this FY ?
When can we celebrate a OFFSHORE Day (โฅโฏ๏นโฐโฅ)เธ
wow, first Andorran person on this platform !
Amen to than.
According to different FOIs, Offshore Iranian Skilled Visa Applicant has not seen a single grant since April.2025 due to challenging situation. although Iranians occupy a smaller proportion per capita in comparison with other nationalities, more than 3500 applicants are waiting, around 1100 of them are waiting more than 3.5 years, and now we have this.
mf2024 hope you get soon, best wishes
@blackbaba Thank you.
@mf2024 where are these numbers from ? In which visa category ?
After many complaint raised by Iranian applicants, some migrant agents requested specific FOIs indicating number of Iranian applicants visa lodged vs visa granted, and also several other nationalities lodged vs granted, in all visa subclasses, 180/190 and 491.
