@gregormendel, Is anyone else noticing that the Department of Home Affairs seems to be granting mostly onshore visas lately? From what I can see, many recent grants are for applicants who lodged their applications in 2026, while there are very few, if any, offshore grants being reported.

I lodged my application in June 2025 under a priority occupation, and I’m still waiting with no updates. It’s becoming really confusing, and I have no idea what’s happening or when offshore applicants can expect decisions.

Are there any other offshore applicants from 2025 still waiting? Has anyone received any information or noticed a similar trend?

I am offshore, applied Nov 23, 2025. Non priority occupation, still waiting. I realized the emphasis on onshore grants in May this year.

They have resumed grants from yesterday and only onshore so far.
