What the document holds

FOI release FA 20/12/01057 (4 pages, text layer): subclass 188 Significant Investor primary applications lodged, granted and refused by month, July 2018 to November 2020, with yearly and grand totals; 75th and 90th percentile processing times (calendar days) by month, July 2019 to November 2020. The internal Q&A on BIIP integrity mentioned in sources.csv "covers" is not in this file (OCR of all four pages confirms only tables). Added every monthly cell (lodged 29, granted 28, refused 23, "<5" as 1-4), the three grand totals and 34 processing-time cells; yearly totals were already in the data. Monthly cells add up to the yearly totals (within "<5" ranges). The lodged grand total (495) does not equal 423 + 427 + 143 = 993; it equals the grants total, likely a copying error; recorded as printed with a note.

About the document

What it covers Subclass 188 Significant Investor primary applications lodged, granted and refused by month, July 2018-November 2020; 75th and 90th percentile processing times (calendar days) by month, July 2019-November 2020.

Notes Figures under five masked. The lodgements table's grand total (495) does not equal the sum of its yearly totals (423 + 427 + 143); 495 equals the grants total, so it looks like a copying error in the release.
