Due to high levels of demand and workload in the department, the number of invitees in February has drastically decreased than in the previous months. The total number of invitations for this financial year (July-February) has been 13,551 so there is likely to be an increase in the number of invitations in the remaining financial year (February-June) by the Department of Home Affairs.
