Trends and Patterns in S56 Requests
The day saw a mix of S56 requests, primarily for health-related documentation. Polio vaccination requests appeared for both 491 visa applicants. One TAS 190 applicant received an S56 for PCC despite having already submitted it, with the grant following 28 days after resubmission. A VIC 190 applicant received a medicals request and was granted within 14 days of compliance. The pattern suggests that S56 requests for health documentation (Polio, Medicals) and PCC remain common across different visa subclasses and states.
Priority occupation grants (Architect, Registered Nurse, Early Childhood Teacher, Enrolled Nurse) showed processing times ranging from 2 months to 5 months. Non-priority occupations showed more varied processing times, with one VIC Mechanical Engineer case taking approximately 19 months from lodgement to grant. NSW 190 grants dominated the day's activity, with processing times for recent lodgements (June 2026) completing in approximately 2 months. The offshore NSW 491 Social Worker case showed a processing time of approximately 14 months.
Several applicants noted DIY approaches and no Form 80 submissions, with successful outcomes. Points ranged from 75 to 90 (including state nomination points), with most successful applicants holding 85-90 points.
