Trends and Patterns in S56 Requests
S56 requests observed today primarily involved Police Clearance Certificates (PCC) and remedicals. Three cases received S56 requests for overseas PCC (QLD, SA, and TAS), while one TAS case received a remedicals request. The S56 requests occurred between 2.5 to 4 months after visa lodgement. Several applicants proactively uploaded AFP and overseas PCC documents, resulting in direct grants without S56 requests. This suggests that proactive document submission may expedite processing.
Visa processing times for non-priority occupations ranged from approximately 14-15 months across VIC, SA, and TAS for both 190 and 491 visas. The majority of grants were for VIC 190 onshore applicants, with occupations spanning accounting, ICT, engineering, and food technology. Points ranged from 85-95 (excluding state nomination points). Several applicants noted skilled partners and Australian study qualifications contributing to their points totals.
