491 Visa – Offshore | Northern Territory | Marketing Specialist ✅ Visa Granted!
📅 Timeline: • Lodged – 11 Jul 2023 • s56 Request – 13 Aug 2025 (Medicals + PCC) • Further Assessment – 10 Sept 2025 • Grant – 11 Nov 2025
Total wait: 27 months 🙏 The wait was long, but finally worth it! Wishing everyone still waiting the same good news soon — your turn is coming next! 💙
I was playing with past Daily Activity Report data and saw that DHA switches back and forth between granting past backlog and doing current backlog for 190. They spend 10-12 days granting 2023 and then back to granting 2024.
Given they granted up until Oct 7th 2024 on 30th Oct 2025 - will Immigration switch back to processing Subclass 190 grants for Oct/Nov 2024 lodgments by next week?

S56 Trends

| 190 | OFFSHORE (PK) Unknown | 05 Nov 2023 | 11 Nov 2025 Medical (Previous: 02 Sep 2025 Employment) |
Trends and Patterns in S56 Requests
The majority of S56 requests issued in August 2025 were for remedicals and PCC renewals, affecting primarily 491 NSW offshore applicants who lodged in July 2023. This pattern suggests systematic processing of applications approaching the 12-month validity period for health and character documents. Several applicants received multiple S56 requests, with the most common combination being remedicals followed by PCC or employment evidence. One applicant reported proactive PCC updates due to expiry, which may help avoid S56 requests. Partner English evidence was requested in two cases for 189 applications, despite valid test results being submitted initially.
News and Updates
All states have reportedly received their full allocation for the current period. Official announcement expected on the DHA website within 1-2 days.
