I'm trying to understand exactly what is changing.

From the article are they just switching the order of the two lotteries? They aren't actually raising the number of visas offered, right?

This just has the effect of allocating more of the 85,000 visas granted to those with a Master's degree or PhD, right?

I'm sure the universities that heavily recruit international students to their graduate programs will love this.

Yes this is my understanding as well
