Trends and Patterns
S56 Activity: Minimal S56 activity reported today, with only one medical request noted. The quick turnaround from medical completion (20 April 2026) to grant (01 May 2026) suggests efficient processing once health requirements are satisfied.
Invitation Patterns: SA conducted a significant invitation round covering both 190 and 491 subclasses across diverse occupations. Health occupations (Registered Nurses) featured prominently, consistent with priority processing categories. The round included both onshore and offshore applicants, with points ranging from 65 to 110 (inclusive of state nomination points). Notably, one Network Administrator applicant applied for 190 but received a 491 invitation instead.

Subclass Onshore 190 Visa Granted Occupation: ICT Business Analyst Points: 85 + 5 (State Nomination) Skilled Partner: Yes (Mechanical Engineer) Timeline: EOI Lodged: August 2024 Initial Invite: 14/10/2024 Final Invite: 11/12/2024 Visa Application Lodged: 24/01/2025 S56 (Medical Request): 13/04/2026 Medical Given: 20/04/2026 Visa Grant: 01/05/2026
@gregormendel or @biotechy ; I have received an s56 request on 2 Apr 2026 to renew my Singapore PCC which I submitted on 9 Apr 2026 . My concern is that I received the email regarding s56 request twice one after the other and in my Immi account, I can see two s56 but under same document number. Is it a common practice to have two s56 request under same s56 number with similar request? PCC request text/wording was modified by CO in 2nd s56. Text in both quoted below:
s56 #1 : Police clearance certificates(PCC) Singapore PCC- Provided PCC has expired.
s56 #2 : Police clearance certificates (PCC) Singapore PCC - Provided PCC has expired. A Singapore police clearance certificate request letter has been attached to assist with obtaining your Singapore police clearance certificate.
Kindly advise if I am missing something here as I am still waiting for my grant and the s56 request submission timeframe of 28 days has just crossed. I wanted to ensure, if I didn't miss anything here.
Visa lodged on 20 Jan 2025. Other than the Singapore-PCC request, no other s56 received.
all good, just submit pcc. if CO needs more, they will ask again
