Dear Ram,

 

On behalf of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment I
acknowledge your email of the 1^st of November 2021 requesting under the
Official Information Act 1982 (the Act), the following:

 

“Hope you had a look at the latest 2021 Residence Visa application process
that was published recently (link below)

[1]https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlo...

In the above link, under "Fees and Refunds", there is a statement

"Skilled Migrant Category applicants will be refunded the difference
between the two application fees, if they agree to withdraw their onhand
Skilled Migrant Category application."

Just to get a clarification on this one,

1.) What would happen to my National Security Check (NSC) processing
(initiated by my SMC case officer) if I withdraw my Skilled Migrant
Category (SMC) resident application and apply for the new 2021 residence
visa in December? 

2.) If I apply for the new visa, do you stop the whole NSC process
(third-party verification) that has been going on for the last few months
(4 months already) and start a new NSC for the new application?

I'd be extremely eager to get a clarification on this.

I'll look forward to your response. Thanks in advance.”

 

Your request is being processed in accordance with the Act and a response
will be sent to you in due course.

 

If you have any enquiries regarding your request, or its urgency, feel
free to contact us via email at [2][MBIE request email].
