To assist with providing the correct information, we wish to clarify your

(Approved)

1) Entitlement to reside and intention = 1

Good morning Mr McIntyre,

Thank you for the clarification you provided on 19 February (attached below), in which you amended the scope of your request. The new scope of your request is:

1. Details of most recently approved applications (at least 5) under S9(1)(c) for the categories of:
a. Entitlement to reside and Intention
b. Good Character

2. Details of at least 5 other applications approved under S9(1)(c) under any of the other categories

(I note that previously your request related to applications between 1/1/2017 and 30/6/2017 only - and you now include no time frame in your new request scope.)

As your request has changed substantially, the Department will be considering it a new request, in accordance with section 15(1AA) of the Act. Therefore, the Department's response will now be provided no later than 19 March 2018.

Kind regards,
