Parent Resident Visa overview

Sarah Zhang made this Official Information request to Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment

This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Sarah Zhang to read a recent response and update the status.

From: Sarah Zhang

Dear Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment,

Hope this email finds you well.

I checked the immigraticon website, you have released the updated the parent resident visa overview and approval information.

Based on the latest version, I noticed only 32 visas were approved this calendar year (Jan 25 - May 25). By comparing with last year (over 2700 visas approved), it was way too less.

May I know the reasons for it?

Thanks for your time and look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

Sarah Zhang
