good to see that June 2024 applicants were receiving S56 already. Hope they clear the backlog fast so the processing times will improve.
@a.b · 1Y ago
Not many applicants between Jun - Sep 24. Will be done by mid Nov. Will be interesting to see how they tackle Oct and Nov 24
@cmm · 1Y ago
But there are still outstanding grants from as back as June 2023, I don't understand how this system works really.
@goofytiger7329 · 1Y ago
I lodged my 190 Visa last December 2024. Considering that there were few applicants from June to Sept. 2024, I was hoping that I might get my grant by December 2025 to January 2026
@ironmindsoul · 1Y ago
Yes, its encouraging to see movement 190 June applications. Mine is lodged in September 2024. Hoping to get with in next two months.

@sharjeel.ds · 1Y ago
Why is 491 so dominant w.r.t s56 ?
@biotechy · 1Y ago
i think 491 whatsapp grps more actice, so just reporting more. My guess.
@sharjeel.ds · 1Y ago
May also be because 190 lodgements beyond May 2024 don't require re-medicals
@biotechy · 1Y ago
what abt before may?
