Trends and Patterns in S56 Requests
S56 requests observed today include standard documentation requirements such as AFP checks, PCC, and employment verification documents. One case involved a Child Form 815 request for an offshore applicant who lodged their visa approximately one year ago. The WA ICT Security Specialist case received an S56 for PCC and Polio certificate, with grant issued just 2 days after responding to the request. The VIC Community Worker cases received S56s for AFP and employment-related documents, with grants following within 1-2 months of response submission.
Priority occupation applicants (Community Workers) continue to demonstrate faster processing times compared to non-priority occupations, with grants issued within 4-5 months of lodgement despite S56 requests. The 189 Biotechnologist case achieved a direct grant in approximately 5 months with no S56 requests.
