Partner and PMV Visa Grants in March to May, 2019 and 2020.
Many people have been asking about how the COVID-19 coronavirus has been affecting Australian visa grants, so I have compared the same time periods for 2019 and 2020, for the numbers of grants that I have seen notified for each month.
These are from the same forum sources for each year. Results may also vary depending on how many people report a grant.
subclass 309 Temporary Offshore Partner Visa.
March
- 10 subclass 309 grants seen in March 2019

subclass 309 grants appear to show a massive drop in grants after the lockdowns began.
subclass 300 Temporary Offshore Prospective Marriage Visa.

subclass 309 grants have also shown a drop in grants after the lockdowns began, but they are fewer in normal times anyway. Official processing times were not available for the 300s in April, due to insufficient grants to be counted..
