Thank you for the question.
I'd just say that the process of moving out.... It is a contractual arrangement we have with these visa application centres. This is a model that has been used by a number of other countries, including the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand, as a mechanism for ensuring better service to clients via front-line delivery in more locations and the ability to make sure applications are complete when they are submitted. So it speeds up client service from the point of view that it reduces the number of refusals that might be provided because of incomplete documentation.
Certainly, as I say, the VACs have been seen as a very positive cost-efficient mechanism. Our own staff, our own people, have also given us feedback on the extent to which it's ensuring that they can do value-added important work rather than doing paper processing.
I think in my remarks I said that we are going out to 130 visa application centres, and it means that overall, in terms of our processing times, we should be in a better position to be able to actually focus on the value-added work of making determinations on visas.
