Australia Retail Pharmacist

Hi everyone, I hope you're all doing well. I wanted to ask for some insights regarding the processing time for our visa application.

I'm a pharmacist with one dependent, currently residing in Canberra, and I was previously on a 482 visa.

Most of my co-pharmacists received their visa approvals within a month of lodging their applications, which has made me a bit anxious since ours seems to be taking longer.

We lodged our 190 visa application on 27/03/25, and completed the medicals on 28/03/25. Does anyone have an idea of the typical timeline for approval or when we might expect a decision?

I really appreciate any feedback or advice. Thank you so much!
