Dear Data Access Request,

Dear Mutheu,
The Department of Home Affairs (the Department) has received your request
for data on 2 August 2024. Your reference number for this request is
DA24/08/00500.
The Department of Home Affairs provides a Data Channel for data requests
such as yours which enables departmental (including the Australian Border
Force) data to be purchased. While you have lodged a request under the
FOI Act, Section 12(1)(c) of the FOI Act states that a person is not
entitled to access to a document that is available for purchase by the
public in accordance with arrangements made by an agency. As such we
intend to process this request under the Department’s Data Request process
unless you respond to this correspondence requesting a decision on your
request under the FOI Act.
You can find further information about the Data Channel here: [1]Data
requests (homeaffairs.gov.au)
The Department has interpreted your request as follows:
Number of Prospective Marriage (subclass 300) visa applications lodged by
citizens of Kenya between 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2023, and on hand
as at 1 August 2024.
Average processing time for Prospective Marriage (subclass 300) visa
applications granted between 1 August 2022 to 31 July 2024.
If we have misinterpreted your request, please let us know by emailing
[2][email address] quoting the above reference
number so we can reassess your request.
Charge for access
The Department has calculated that a charge of $30.00 is required for your
request.
Next Steps
You can now choose to:
· pay the attached invoice for your request to proceed;
· email [3][email address] to tell us if
your request has been incorrectly interpreted; or
· email [4][email address] to tell us if
you wish to withdraw your request.
Your request will not be processed until you take one of these actions.
Please note: if you do not respond by 26 August 2024 your request will be
deemed to be withdrawn.
Financial hardship
If you believe that paying the charge for access would result in financial
hardship to you, you can request a waiver or reduction of the charge.
Please set out the reasons you believe that you would experience financial
hardship and provide supporting evidence.
An example of financial hardship would be when payment of the charge would
leave you unable to provide food, accommodation, clothing, medical
treatment, education or other necessities for yourself or your family, or
other people for whom you are responsible.
Your request for a waiver or reduction of charge will be considered, and a
response sent to you within 30 days. Further information on charges is
available on our webpage: [5]Data requests (homeaffairs.gov.au)
Release of requested information
We will try to finalise your request within 30 days of receiving your
payment. If we need to contact you regarding the clarity or size of your
request, we will contact you in writing.
In some circumstances, release of data may be prohibited by legislation
such as the Privacy Act 1988, Australian Border Force Act 2015 and
Migration Act 1958. If we cannot release the requested data due to
restrictions under legislation, we will notify you in writing. If we
cannot provide the data you have requested, we will refund the amount you
have paid.
If you have any feedback about our handling of your data request, please
email [6][email address]
Thank you for your data request. I look forward to your response.
