@gregormendel- I got a mail that Tasmania RoI is open till 3 June 2026. But the gateway account for ROI is not working and is under maintenance. its showing me this-' Tasmania Skilled visa state nomination process 1. Eligibility Checker' - That eligibility checker is not active and shows under maintenance. Pls clarify this issue

Hey @gregormendel Hope you’re doing well. I have one doubt about documents actually when I submitted my application through my lawyer mistakenly i have sent one wrong document and she uploaded it i think. Basically i have uploaded all the correct documents during my skill assessment for retail pharmacist. But while lodging file i have already submitted my own degree certificate, all semesters mark sheets which is all together seven but the consolidated marksheet i have submitted incorrect. Which is my friend’s consolidated marksheet. Although my lawyer suggested me to write an official explanation letter with my own signature and she uploaded it with correct consolidated marksheet. But I am still worried and concerned about this situation. Will This effect my file? Also its been 11 months now i have been waiting for my grant and my status is still received. Nothing is been ask to submit no s56 nothing. Still waiting for priority occupation grant. Any idea how long it will take because this FY 2025-26 year is almost to an end. I have lodged my file on 25 june 2025. I am so stressed about this situation.

Trends and Patterns in S56 Requests

Priority Occupations: Health professionals continue to receive expedited processing. A Registered Nurse (VIC 190) received a grant within 9 days of lodgement, and a Doctor (189) received a grant in approximately 9 months. Both cases show no S56 requests, indicating streamlined processing for priority occupations.

Non-Priority Occupations: Engineering and IT occupations experienced longer processing times ranging from 12 to 28 months. S56 requests were common, primarily for: - Remedicals: Multiple cases required repeat medical examinations, particularly for offshore applicants and those with pregnancy-related delays - Police Clearances: AFP and PCC requests appeared in several cases, especially for applications lodged over 12 months ago - Child-Related Documentation: One case involved extensive S56 requests for a newborn's passport and health examination

Pregnancy-Related Delays: Two cases (NSW 190 Developer Programmer and VIC 190 Solicitor) experienced medical deferrals due to pregnancy, with subsequent remedical requests. Both cases involved adding newborns to applications, which extended processing times.

Multiple S56 Requests: Several applicants received 2-3 S56 requests throughout their processing journey, particularly for 491 visas with longer processing times (24-28 months).

State Variations: VIC 190 showed the fastest turnaround for a priority occupation (9 days), while NSW and WA 491 visas demonstrated the longest processing times (24-28 months) with multiple S56 requests.
