It’s the two of us — me and my wife. My occupation (after several tries) ended up as 224999 Information and Organisation Professionals nec (basically a “catch-all” bucket for data analysts / ex-DS who didn’t fit into Statistician and before separate categories appeared). My wife’s is 224311 Economist.

Timeline:

Offshore ROI – 20 Oct 2023 Nomination – 30 Nov 2023 Lodgement – 28 Dec 2023 Medicals – 7–10 Jan 2024 S56 – 24 Sep 2025 Re-medical – 29 Sep 2025 Grant – 2 Oct 2025 In June 2025 I uploaded Form 80 + 1221 for both of us, plus police clearance.

Hi There, This wait is so frustrated do anyone know what is happening for June2023 applications. I have waited almost 5 months after submitting my s56 for medicals. They are providing grants to the people with the same occupation who just submit a day before , they are definitely not following FIFO procedure. My current visa is going to expire in 20 days and then I will be on bridging visa just to avoid all that trauma I have applied well in advance but doesn't look like its helpful.
