Expected visa grant

Offshore Non-Priority

Science Technicians nec lodged Subclass 190 on 08 Feb 2025

About this estimate: Level 1 (priority occupations) and level 2 (onshore non-priority) each use grant samples from their own group.

Levels 3 and 4 (offshore non-priority) use a combined sample set because many past grant profiles do not say whether the person applied alone or with a partner or family. Combining them gives us more data for a stable estimate. Priority levels follow Direction 122.

Direction 122 started on 19 September 2026, so these estimates currently rely on data from before the change. We expect to need 4โ€“6 weeks of data under the new rules, until around the end of October, for estimates to stabilise and reflect the new processing patterns. Treat them as provisional until then.
