Dear Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment,
I'm writing this to get more detailed information on the Skilled Migrant Category (SMC) visa applications received from offshore starting from 11 November 2022 draw.
1) As of today, I only see the monthly view of applications received / allocated. Can I get the detailed view like the date / week of the applications received and applications allocated to officers?
2) Also, for future updates can you include information like number of approved / declined applications per day / week basis ?
3) Also, the list doesn't differentiate on the category and onshore/offshore applications. Can you provide this information and for future updates?
Ex: onshore / offshore applications received / allocated / approved list on a day / week basis
Yours faithfully,
Manoj
