Update from INZ: Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV)
Further checks and policy changes were introduced in the Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV) earlier this year which mean there are additional requirements for many applications. This has resulted in processing times across the 3 stages of the AEWV scheme taking longer.

Incomplete applications are a significant factor to current processing times. All the required information must be submitted with applications to help prevent further delays.

Immigration New Zealand (INZ) has seen reduced volumes of incoming applications since the policy changes in the job check and work visa stages however, we are receiving more complex applications. The decrease in volumes has been primarily driven by a significant decrease in ANZSCO skill level 4-5 roles.

Decline and withdrawal rates have increased across the three AEWV stages. This trend was already emerging prior to the policy changes following changes to assessment processes in the second half of 2023.

Incomplete applications across the three AEWV stages remains high, and a variety of different communications and engagements were completed during August to help improve the quality of information being provided at submission.

Given the scale of change being managed across AEWV, it remains extremely difficult to forecast with any degree of certainty how incoming volumes across the AEWV stages will track or the completeness and complexity of applications received.

Volumes and performance are being carefully monitored and we will continue to adjust our planning as appropriate.

Australian crossbench MPs have joined calls for a permanent residency pathway for 8,500 asylum seekers living with visa uncertainty, with limited rights to work, study and access welfare.

The open letter follows the death of 23-year-old Mano Yogalingam, who arrived in Melbourne in 2012, but who last week set himself on fire after campaigning for change.

Introduced by the Coalition in 2014, the fast track scheme barred anyone who arrived by boat before offshore processing - including those found to be refugees - from gaining permanent residency. Labor has since given a path to permanancy for 19,000 considered refugees by the pared back system.

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said that any su***de is a tragedy, and that "my heart goes out to this person's family."

Summary of the Migration Amendment (Graduate Visas) Regulations 2024
The Migration Amendment (Graduate Visas) Regulations 2024 introduces significant changes to the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) and closes the Skilled-Recognised Graduate visa (subclass 476). Key changes include:

Simplification of Temporary Graduate Visa:

Graduate Work Stream renamed: Now called the Post-Vocational Education Work Stream.
Eligibility Changes: Requires applicants to hold an associate degree, diploma, or trade qualification related to their nominated occupation.
Age Limit Reduced: Maximum eligible age reduced from 50 to 35 years (except for certain passport holders and higher degree graduates).
Post-Higher Education Work Stream:

New Naming: The Post-Study Work Stream is renamed the Post-Higher Education Work Stream.
Two-Year Extension Ceased: The previous two-year extension for certain qualifications will no longer be available from 1 July 2024.
Transition Pathways: Graduates can transition from Post-Study Work to Post-Higher Education Work Stream.
Closure of the Replacement Stream:

Stream Closed: The Replacement Stream is closed to new applications from 1 July 2024.
Transitional Pathways:

Regional Pathways: Transitional pathways are available for existing Temporary Graduate visa holders to apply for subsequent visas based on regional study and work.
Closure of Skilled-Recognised Graduate Visa:

Subclass 476 Closed: This visa is closed to all applicants from 1 July 2024.
Consultation and Compatibility:

Extensive consultation was conducted with relevant stakeholders, including government agencies and education sector representatives.
The regulations are compatible with human rights obligations, aiming to reduce 'permanently temporary' migrants and improve labour market outcomes.
The amendments aim to streamline visa processes, support early career professionals, and ensure better alignment with Australia’s migration policy priorities. The changes will come into effect on 1 July 2024.
