@maxmandar 1Y ago

Any one in the same boat? Still waiting for grant update – this is for NSW 190 offshore visa (System Analyst).

First s56 was for my recent Australia travel history and wife’s Singapore PCC

Second s56 was received on 23 April 2025 (for wife’s NZ police clearance)

We submitted everything by 29 April 2025

Really hoping and praying something comes today or tomorrow 🙏 Feels like another day might pass without an update as it's almost over now.

Would love to hear if anyone with similar timelines has received any news.
