Could you please also clarify your question:

 

I just want to know how many applications Onshore SMC been waiting for
allocation of immi officer. from 15th September 2019 to 5th june 2019

 

Do you mean how many onshore SMC applications lodged between 15/09/2019

question based on our interpretation.

Thanks Aman. But I'm still a little confused.

Please confirm, that you want to know:

How many onshore SMC applications lodged between 5/6/2019 and xxx (response date) are waiting to be allocated?

If not, please clarify.
