Trends and Patterns in S56 Requests
The most common S56 requests on 13 November 2025 were for remedicals, appearing in the majority of cases. This aligns with typical visa processing patterns where medical certificates expire during extended processing times. Several applicants received multiple S56 requests, with the second request often being for Form 815 (Health Undertaking) or additional documentation such as Form 80, Form 47A, and Form 1281.
Work evidence verification appeared in two cases: one for an Architectural Draftsperson requiring work samples to validate skill assessment claims, and another for a Motor Mechanic requiring employment evidence. These requests suggest increased scrutiny of claimed employment for skill assessment purposes.
Family applications showed varied processing times, with no clear pattern distinguishing them from single applicants. Partner additions mid-application (as seen in the WA Civil Engineer case) did not appear to cause significant delays when properly documented.
