Subclass 820 visas granted in 2020

subclass 820 Partner Visa Grants.

These are the numbers of subclass 820 visas granted and refused during 2020.

In the first three months of the year, before COVID restrictions began to change the numbers of visa grants, there were 5,911 subclass 820 visas granted.

During the later three months, May to July, once restrictions on OFFSHORE grants came into effect, there were 8,273 ONSHORE grants, an increase of 40%.

  • In Quarter 1 there were 5,911 grants and 447 refusals.
  • In Quarter 2 there were 8,040 grants and 11 refusals.
  • In Quarter 3 there were 5,703 grants and 33 refusals.
  • In Quarter 4 there were 7,037 grants and 50 refusals.

The reduction in refusals is a puzzle, although the difficult ones may just have been put to one side, rather than refusing, or granting, during the COVID period, due to difficulties in confirming overseas information?
