Jyoti has called her migration agent three times this month.
In recent months, that uncertainty has taken on a new urgency.
The 43-year-old is a secondary school teacher who lives in an outer northern suburb of Melbourne with her husband and their two children.
Jyoti says she is watching the lead-up to Victoria's November election closely. To her, the election will be an early test of how far One Nation leader Pauline Hanson's momentum could travel and what that could mean for her family's future in the only country her children have known.
One Nation wants to cut 750,000 temporary visa holders from Australia over three years.
According to the policy announced on Monday, international students and graduates would absorb the biggest cuts.
The student visa population, including accompanying family members, would fall from about 590,000 to 350,000, and the graduate visa population from about 270,000 to just 40,000 over three years.
Family visas linked to temporary skilled workers would be phased out, a change expected to shrink that cohort from about 263,000 to 160,000 over the same period.
Speaking with ABC's Radio National on Monday morning, Environment Minister Murray Watt said One Nation's policy would trigger economic disruption.
Not everyone would be affected equally, says Abul Rizvi, a former deputy secretary of the Department of Immigration.
One Nation has confirmed it would maintain a net overseas migration ceiling of 130,000 a year once its proposed three-year reset is complete.
