Trends and Patterns in S56 Requests
S56 requests observed today include Form 80 submissions and medical examinations for offshore applicants. One case involved a partner's Police Clearance Certificate. The NT Civil Engineer case (lodged 20 Jun 2024) received an S56 for medicals after approximately 19 months, while the NSW Analyst Programmer case received an S56 for Form 80 approximately 3.5 months after lodgement. These patterns suggest varying processing timelines based on individual case circumstances and completeness of initial documentation.
For visa processing times, the 491 NSW Analyst Programmer case was processed in approximately 7 months with one S56 request. The 190 cases showed processing times ranging from approximately 9-10 months. The 189 cases for trades occupations (Carpenter and Wall and Floor Tiler) were processed in approximately 5 months, demonstrating relatively faster processing for these occupations.
NSW continues to show strong nomination activity with full invites issued for Early Childhood Teachers (priority occupation) and Software Engineers. VIC also issued a full invite for Software Engineer with 100 points.

@biotechy @gregormendel What are the current 190 nsw processing times as per the crowd sourced trend for the Non-Priority Occupations?
Could you please share? Official page says 15 to 25 months.
NSW specifically doesnt not have a processing time, as all visas are processed by DHA. You can click on Subclass (190) in left sidebar to view 190 processing times
