@gregormendal- I had applied for 189/190/491 under 234111. As they say 5more points fo 190 and 15 more points for 491. Already submitted in skill select with those marks added. But how does that happen in reality. For ex if my basic score is 75, while drawing invitations for 190 and 491, am i considered to have 75 or the extra marks added. Do i need nomination from that area for that visa? How does this happen, i would like to know.

Visa Grants

S56 Trends

No new S56 requests were reported for 26 August 2026. The section is pending updates.

Key Observations

Visa Processing Times: Processing times varied significantly, ranging from approximately 3 months to over 15 months. The NSW190 Developer Programmer application showed the longest processing time at 1 year 3 months, while several applications lodged in 2026 were processed within 3-5 months. Priority occupations such as Civil Engineer and healthcare roles (Registered Nurse, Enrolled Nurse) demonstrated relatively faster processing.

S56 Patterns: Common S56 requests included police clearance certificates (PCC), medicals/remedicals, Form 80, Form 815, AFP checks, and employment documentation. Several applicants received direct grants without S56 requests, particularly in ACT and Tasmania. S56 requests typically occurred 2-4 months after visa lodgement.

State Distribution: Grants were distributed across multiple states: NSW (3), Tasmania (2), VIC (1), WA (1), ACT (1), and 189 direct grants (2). Family sizes ranged from single applicants to families of 3.
