About this estimate:
Direction 122 separately ranks offshore non-priority applications with only the primary applicant and those
that include other applicants. SmartVisaGuide groups them together because many historical grant profiles do
not provide enough information to determine whether the primary applicant applied alone or included a partner
or family members. This may slightly overestimate processing times when only the primary applicant is included
and slightly underestimate them when other applicants are included. However, this difference is expected to be
much smaller than the processing-time differences between priority and non-priority applications, and between
onshore and offshore non-priority applications. Grouping them together also preserves the full offshore sample
and produces more stable estimates. If enough reliable information about whether applicants applied alone or
with a partner or family becomes available, SmartVisaGuide will provide a more detailed breakdown in the
future.

Your grant is expected to be expedited because University Lecturer is a
priority occupation under Ministerial Direction 122. This is reflected in the Expected Visa Grant dates
