Processing times
The Department of Home Affairs publishes no processing figure for this subclass, so none is shown. Check the Department's processing times tool.
Where these figures come from
Data verified from immi.homeaffairs.gov.au. Charges and processing times are published by the Department of Home Affairs and change from time to time. Each figure on this page carries its own capture date - the page has no single “as at”, because the charge and the processing times are captured separately.
