📣 New Visa Processing Time
New Processing time estimates based on Ministerial Direction 122 are now deployed on user profiles as well as visa subclass pages. Since Direction 122 came into effect today (19 Sep 2026), it will take a few weeks of grants for the calculations to stabilize and start reflecting the underlying trends.
Hi @gregormedel,
I actually requested this feature almost 2 years ago, and at that time you mentioned that it would be added in the coming days. Unfortunately, I don’t think it was ever implemented.
Could you please consider adding a Country / Nationality filter to the Smart Guide visa data?
For example, if someone wants to check processing timelines specifically for applicants from Canada, the UK, India, etc., it would be very useful to filter the data by country and then see the timelines for visas such as Subclass 189, 190 and 491.
For example:
Country: Canada → 189 processing timelines → 190 processing timelines → 491 processing timelines
Country: United Kingdom → 189 processing timelines → 190 processing timelines → 491 processing timelines
This would help users understand whether applicants from certain countries are currently experiencing different processing times instead of looking only at the overall processing data.
I think a country-wise filter combined with the existing visa subclass filters would make the Smart Guide data much more useful.
Would really appreciate it if you could finally add this feature, Gregor. Thanks!
