Australian migrants 'in limbo' over visa applications

Updated August 9, 2011 14:37:58
Asylum seekers detained on Christmas Island are not the only group waiting to know what the future holds.

Tens of thousands of applicants for permanent residency in Australia have been warned that they will have "a long wait for visa processing".

Many of the applicants are international student graduates; some have PhDs and some have been living in Australia for almost a decade.

Presenter: Peter Mares
Speaker: Dr Gerhard Hoffstaedter, researcher at Latrobe University; Mark Webster, immigration agent and New South Wales president of the Migration Institute of Australia
