📙 Daily Activity Report: 20 Nov 2025

This report summarises visa grants, S56 requests, and invitation activity for Australian skilled visas (subclasses 189, 190, and 491) based on crowdsourced data from the community.

Visa Grants

S56 Trends

Trends and Patterns in S56 Requests

The majority of S56 requests issued on 20 November 2025 involved remedicals and police clearances, consistent with typical visa processing requirements as initial documents approach expiry. Several cases involved health undertakings (Form 815), particularly for offshore Indian applicants, suggesting potential health-related concerns requiring additional documentation.

Multiple S56 requests were common, with some applicants receiving 2-3 separate requests throughout their processing journey. These typically involved initial medicals, followed by remedicals, and additional identity or health documentation for dependents.

Newborn additions triggered S56 requests for medical examinations, as expected when family composition changes post-lodgement. One case involved a partner who did not receive a remedical request in an earlier S56, requiring follow-up.

The 491 visa category showed higher S56 activity compared to 190 and 189, with most requests for offshore applicants from India and Pakistan. Processing times for cases with S56 requests ranged from 18-28 months, with the longest waits observed in 491 applications lodged in mid-2023.

Priority occupation grants (Veterinarian) showed faster processing with direct grants and no S56 requests, while non-priority occupations experienced longer timelines with multiple S56 interventions.
