Invitation Activity
No invitation round data was reported for 03 December 2025. One comment referenced VIC preinvites observed on this date.
Trends and Patterns in S56 Requests
S56 requests observed today primarily involved medicals for both onshore and offshore applicants. One offshore applicant from Pakistan received an S56 requesting Form 80, employment evidence, and polio vaccination documentation. An offshore Electrical Engineer with a family of 5 received a medical request for a 491 visa lodged in May 2024.
The Engineering Technologist case demonstrates rapid processing following medical clearance, with grant issued within one day of medicals being cleared. The ACT 491 case shows a lengthy processing time of over 2 years, with S56 issued approximately 13 months after lodgement.
Several direct grants were issued without S56 requests, particularly for onshore applicants across 189, 190, and 491 subclasses. .

Subclass 190 and 491: Moving states after visa lodgment but before visa grant
The state/territory sponsorship points are not locked at time of Full Invite (unlike age, education, experience etc.)
The reason is that state/territory sponsorship points are a time of decision criteria, meaning the visa case officer has to make a decision on the allocation of these points when your file is being assessed.
So if you committed to the state to stay for a certain duration, but you move before the visa is granted, technically, the state has the power to withdraw these nomination points till the day of visa decision.
If these points are withdrawn, your points score will fall lower than what the invitation was issued at, and your visa will be refused.
After visa grant: The state can not withdraw nomination points, therefore: - On 190, you can move anywhere in Australia - On 491, you can move to any DRA in Australia
