C4ii

C4ii


 Centre for Illegal Immigration.


Premise:
The very nature of the immigration process for illegal immigrants is indeterminate, the outcome is never quite certain as it is a long, arduous process requiring months or even years of completing forms, conducting interviews and other various forms of bureaucracy. It is an important role to protect both the security of the nation and also to facilitate the legitimate entry to refugees and professionals seeking asylum to contribute positively to Australia's population. A database of information will be compiled in the process involving; background checks, medical examinations, references and other forms of proof of identity and skill to help determine a person’s candidacy for entry into Australia. The process for illegal immigrants is often time consuming and also often requires the services of many consultants. The idea is to streamline the process by introducing a virtual component to the agency whereby officers can expedite the process of migration or rejection by having their digital identity verified and by completing the various entry requirements without the need for paper forms or immigration lawyers in a straight forward universally accessible form.

Scope:
It is thought that this virtual arm of the Department of Immigration and Trade would supplement the existing immigration and customs teams. The C4ii system is proposed to be located within the illegal immigration transport vehicles where an officer will work with a migrant to enable him/her to gain a specific outcome of their processing before they reach the holding facility in order to reduce the impacts on their lives.

Interface:
The proposed interface for such a system would need to be very simple in terms of its user friendliness in the way that ipods and facebook are almost instantly intuitive or very easy to learn how to use. This is important, as many of the users will be from foreign countries that do not speak and or read English very well. Some of this can be accomplished by incorporating multiple modes for different language groups and also through the use of devices such as pictograms and symbols.

Environment:
The environment will be reactive to the honesty of the immigrant and their control checks. It is proposed that a person with reliable documentation and valid health and background checks will progress further than a person with a criminal background.


Concerns:
The obvious worry is the ability to defraud such a system as computers are susceptibility to virus and hacking by cyber criminals. In adding a virtual element it is possible for glitches in the system or various errors in code to over look certain matters or cause users difficulty in obtaining a visa.
