Dear Ministerial Services,
Sorry, the same requests as before - thought I will clarify it better as I missed out a few words.

Can I please have your assistance in gathering some data regarding the SMC residency applications;

1. Can I please have the numbers of applications that were allocated to a case officer weekly from 1st August 2020 to date (priority and non priority)(week wise data)
2. Am I able to get the number of applications that are waiting to be allocated to a case officer (oldest application in queue on the day the data is being collected) to 31st May 2019 please?
3. Can I also get the number of applications that are onshore non priority for request #2 (assuming all priority applications in that period is already dealt with/ allocated to a case officer) please?

Yours sincerely,

Elsa Philip

Dear Matt Burden,

Thankyou for the response.

The second and third question's answer is not what I had requested. I was looking to get the number of applications that are waiting to be allocated (I think the present allocation queue is at 18th April 2019) to 31st May 2019 - question 2 and 3, just for this period 18 April 2019 to 31 May 2019. I'm sorry that my wording made things complicated.

I'm sorry the for inconvenience I have caused you. If I could get the numbers for this request, I'll greatly appreciate it.

Yours sincerely,

Elsa Philip
