@andrewjgiles this is an unbelievable figure 35,000 invites in Dec 22 for 189 visas, well done. But *why 887 Onshore visa is totally neglected?* 887 Visa applicants are living in Aus as part of community and going through immense mental stress of waiting 27+ months for processing
@andrewjgiles#securejobsbetterpay
Skilled migrants who r on bridging visas due to slow processing of #887 visas have no other option than accepting fixed-term contracts. Employers don't consider offering permanent posts no matter how good are they at their jobs #Grant887onshore
@ClareONeilMP Request you to fix 887 visa backlog issues of 20k application waiting from 26 months for fair processing of 6-7 months.#887. Skill migrants will loose trust if Labour only focus on asylum and refugee visa. Please Allocate CO officer to clear 887 backlog from 300 hired staff #887

Ignoring 887 grants creates more issues with the skilled job gap for Govt/Defence sector. Road to citizenship is stretched to 7/8 years rather than 4/5 yrs due to low-priority processing for 887 onshore applicants. #Speedup887visa#Grant887

Now from the FOI, we see how bad current govt treats 887 applicants
They said over 2 million visas processed since June.
ONLY 222 OF 887 PROCESSED SINCE THEN.
THERE ARE 19,171 IN QUEUE.
SHAME😭
WHERE ARE YOUR PRE-ELECTION SYMPATHY?

@andrewjgiles And suffering are the people who got in trap of Temporary Visas (489/491), fulfilling their 100% commitments but 0% commitment from past Govt, now eyes on you to turn the tables & knockout the backlog. In fact convert all Temp Visa who applied for PR at once as NZ did. #Grant887
