This document is the key that opens the box on New Year's Day 2015, making those specific immigration rules legally active and enforceable from that date onward.\n\n**Who it affects:** Anyone whose visa application or immigration status is governed by the specific provisions in Part 1 of Schedule 6—likely changes to visa processing or criteria—would see these rules apply from 1 January 2015 instead of immediately when the Act originally passed."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/migration-legislation-amendment-commencement-proclamation-2014","history":"/api/acts/migration-legislation-amendment-commencement-proclamation-2014/history","analysis":"/api/acts/migration-legislation-amendment-commencement-proclamation-2014/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/migration-legislation-amendment-commencement-proclamation-2014/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/migration-legislation-amendment-commencement-proclamation-2014/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/migration-legislation-amendment-commencement-proclamation-2014/documents"}}
