๐Ÿ“™ Daily Activity Report: 08 Nov 2025

This report summarises visa grant activity and trends for 08 November 2025, based on crowdsourced data from the Australian skilled migration community.

S56 Trends

No S56 requests were reported for 08 November 2025.

Invitation Activity

No invitation round data was reported for 08 November 2025.

Trends and Patterns

Visa Processing Times

Two Subclass 189 direct grants were reported today, both lodged in late August 2025. The General Practitioner case (priority occupation) received grant within approximately 2.5 months, while the ECT case (priority occupation) also received grant within the same timeframe. Both applicants reported uploading comprehensive documentation at lodgement to avoid S56 requests.

Key Observations

Both successful applicants emphasised the importance of uploading complete evidence at lodgement. The ECT applicant specifically noted not claiming Australian work experience but ensuring all overseas experience was thoroughly documented. The General Practitioner applicant similarly highlighted prompt document updates to avoid S56 requests.
