Getting my wife and daughter here

I just got my 12 month Residence Permit today, and the PSB told my FAO that under new rules starting July 1, my wife and daughter will be given a Q1 or Q2 visa. If they enter on a Q1, the will get a RP for 1 month. If they get given a Q2, they can get a RP for 6 months, but it is up to the Consulate in the country they apply in as to which one they get. Is this true?
