“People affected by old immigration law now covered by new Act”

If you were someone who was affected by section 129U of the old Immigration Act before section 404 of the new Immigration Act 2009 started, you will now be treated as if section 150 of the new Act applies to you. This means that the new Immigration Act 2009 will now apply to you, with any changes that are needed to make it work properly for your situation. This change happens right from the day that section 404 of the new Act begins.
