Trends and Patterns in S56 Requests
S56 requests on 05 March 2026 focused primarily on baby medicals and employment evidence for offshore VIC 190 applicants who lodged in early December 2024. Historical S56 patterns from granted visas show:
Medical-Related Requests: Remedicals were the most common S56 type, appearing across multiple subclasses (491 NSW, 491 SA, 491 TAS, 190 Unknown). Polio vaccination requests appeared in two cases (491 SA, 190 Unknown). Baby medicals were requested for recent lodgements.
Police Clearance Requests: PCC renewals and AFP checks were requested for longer-processing applications (491 NSW lodged May 2023, 190 WA lodged April 2025). Several applicants proactively uploaded police checks to avoid S56 requests.
Processing Patterns: Priority occupation (Registered Nurse) received grant in 10 months despite S56. Non-priority occupations showed varied processing times ranging from 5 months (Chemist, Life Scientist) to 34 months (Financial Investment Adviser). Multiple S56 requests appeared in longer-processing cases.
