@sbsnews_au: A new priority process that could see some Australian citizens wait longer for their partners to receive a visa has drawn criticism. One of them is Amir Bukhari, who said that It’s been seven months since he has seen his wife in person. The backlog for visa applications has been growing as the Labor government faces pressure to curb the country's net overseas migration. Many migrants are waiting for more detail on the government's migration reforms, with fears it could make the process more difficult. For the latest news headlines, visit @sbsnews_au (link in bio)
when the economy is suffering partner/family visas need to be the absolute lowest priority.
