Trends and Patterns in S56 Requests
S56 requests observed on 30 October 2025 primarily involved remedicals and police clearance certificates, particularly for applications lodged in mid-2023. Several 491 NSW applicants who lodged in June 2023 received S56 requests in early August 2025 for remedicals and/or PCC, with grants following approximately 2-3 months later. This pattern suggests that applications approaching the 2-year mark are being actively processed with updated documentation requirements.
For priority occupations, processing times remain significantly shorter. The Registered Nurses nec application (NSW 190) was granted in approximately 6 months despite multiple S56 requests. Non-priority occupations showed considerably longer processing times, with several 491 applications lodged in June 2023 taking over 27 months to grant.
Recent S56 requests included evidence of separation (TAS 190), child medicals (VIC 190), and spouse English proficiency documentation. The VIC 190 Software Developer case demonstrated rapid processing post-S56 compliance, with visa approval occurring within 6 hours of medical completion.
