Trends and Patterns in S56 Requests
S56 requests continue to focus on standard documentation requirements including medicals, police clearance certificates (PCC), and functional English evidence for secondary applicants. One case required additional documentation for a newborn passport, while another involved court-specific issue order documentation. Direct grants were observed for both priority (Retail Pharmacist) and non-priority (Construction Project Manager) occupations.
Priority occupations (Hospital Pharmacist, Retail Pharmacist, Registered Nurses nec, Secondary Teacher) demonstrated visa processing times ranging from 11 to 12 months. Non-priority occupations showed processing times between 12 to 13 months for Subclass 190, and similar timeframes for Subclass 491.
Several applicants reported self-managing their applications successfully, including complex cases involving court orders. One Environmental Research Scientist completed the entire journey from student visa to PR grant over 4 years while simultaneously completing a PhD and gaining Australian work experience.
An Early Childhood Teacher grant was reported at 85 points for Subclass 189, though the applicant noted that 90 points is increasingly becoming the safer threshold for this visa subclass.

Hi @Gregormendel sir,
I have some doubts . I have applied for TRA MSA but have not received the result yet, and I have 5.6 years of experience. My question is:
To prove my experience, should I apply for MPA? Should I take the PTE now? Is MPA mandatory?
Applied as mechanical engineering technician..
SA 190 Offshore – EOI update after nomination invite?
Hi all,
We received an SA 190 offshore nomination invite, but before submitting the state nomination application, we noticed that my partner skills assessment was not entered in the EOI, even though it already existed at the time of submission.
My English points were already counted, so this looks like an under-claim, not an over-claim.
Has anyone updated their EOI at this stage and still proceeded normally with SA nomination?
Did you also submit an explanation letter?
Any real experience would be greatly appreciated.
