Share ko lang din yung review ko ng 189 visa trend, data taken from DHA FOI page. Take note that the actual grant and backlog data until May 2019 is available at DHA website. This is to understand what happened in the recent months and is just my assessment and opinion. Did this during my free time hehehe. Cheers π
Visa 189 allotment
2017-2018 (44,000 for onshore,offshore, NZ applicants)
2012-2019 (44,000 for onshore,offshore, NZ applicants)
2019-2020 (16,652 for onshore,offshore, NZ applicants)
Key takeaways:
Backlog on July 2018 was at around 11.7k, it steadily grew to 25k mainly due to Oct-Nov applicants (10k)
On average immitracker data represent about 5% of the actual grants. So a few hundred grants were given in the previous months.
Drastic decrease in grants given started last July 2019, when the backlog reached 13k from 25k in December.
Majority ng backlog is from the Oct - Dec 2018, on a positive note meron namang grants every month. I enjoy na muna natin holidays π Darating din yan π God bless everyoneπ
