Australia, December 14, 2009 - Almost 10,000 overseas students from different country who are studying in Australia in order to secure the permanent residency, unfortunately they are sent home empty-handed under changes being considered by the Federal Government. The Herald has obtained a document equipped by the Immigration Department recommending changes "in the relationship between the lodgement of an application and the legal obligation to grant a visa".
According to Karl Konrad, a migration agent that this could be a spark panic among students. That the changes would be very huge and could affect the status on having a permanent residency through the skilled migration program and for those students who already spent thousands of dollars and years in Australia in dreaming of having a chance to stay a much longer in Australia. According to news there are 137,000 such students here waiting on approval who could have the rug pulled from under them if the changes are made retrospective.
"The Australian Government has grown fat off these students with the lure that they can get permanent residency," Mr Konrad said.
It is said and done that the Migration Institute of Australia was to have been briefed by the Government but that the meeting had been delayed until next week.
