Between August 2024 and July 2025, US citizens lodged 26 Protection (subclass 866) visa applications with the Department of Home Affairs, with lodgements increasing from fewer than five per month through February 2025 to 14 in July 2025. However, no Protection visas were granted to US citizens during this period, with only fewer than five grants recorded in August 2024 and none from September 2024 onwards. The data shows a marked divergence between rising lodgement numbers and zero grant outcomes in the latter half of the reporting period, though the department notes that applications lodged in one program year may not be finalised in the same year.
