Trends and Patterns
Visa Processing Times: Subclass 190 grants showed processing times ranging from approximately 3 months (May 2025 lodgement) to 15 months (December 2024 lodgement). Subclass 189 grants demonstrated faster processing for priority occupations, with Health professionals (Medical Laboratory Scientist, Social Worker, Psychologist) receiving grants within 5-6 months of lodgement. Non-priority occupations under 189 followed similar timelines.
S56 Activity: Common S56 requests included Polio Certificates, Police Clearance Certificates (PCC), and medical updates. Several applicants proactively uploaded documents (AFP, PCC, Polio) before receiving S56 requests, which may have contributed to smoother processing. Partner documentation requirements were noted for offshore secondary applicants.
State Distribution: Tasmania, Victoria, ACT, South Australia, Northern Territory, and Western Australia all featured in today's grants. Points ranged from 70 to 95, with occupations spanning Accounting, Engineering, Health, and Trades.
Family Composition: Most grants were for single applicants or couples (2 applicants total). One applicant noted skilled partner points contributing to their 75-point total.
