Trends and Patterns in S56 Requests
Three S56 requests were reported today. Common requests included updated Police Clearance Certificates (PCCs), remedicals for family members, and employment verification documents. One offshore applicant with a family of 6 received comprehensive S56 requests including polio certificates for all members and proof of dependency for a child above 18.
Several applicants proactively updated their PCCs before expiry, which appears to have contributed to direct grants without S56 requests. The offshore Civil Engineer received a direct grant in approximately 2 months, which is notably faster than the typical processing times observed for non-priority occupations.
Visa processing times for non-priority occupations ranged from approximately 2 months to over 1 year and 5 months, with most grants occurring between 1 year 2 months to 1 year 4 months after lodgement.
