S56 Trends

Trends and Patterns in S56 Requests

The day saw significant S56 activity, particularly for remedicals and Form 815 health undertakings. Multiple offshore applicants from Pakistan and India who lodged in December 2023 received Form 815 requests for dependents, following earlier remedical requests in October 2025. This suggests a pattern of health-related follow-ups for applications approaching the two-year processing mark.

For priority occupations (Registered Nurse), visa processing was notably faster at 5 months compared to non-priority occupations. The longest processing times were observed for applications lodged in mid-2023, with most taking 2+ years to finalise. Direct grants without S56 requests remain rare, with only one Carpenter case reported.

Common S56 requests included remedicals, employment evidence, AFP checks, and PCC. Several cases involved multiple S56 rounds, particularly for medical clearances and police checks. Family size appears to correlate with additional S56 complexity, especially for health undertakings.
