Hi @biotechy / @gregormendel, can we submit Police clearance certificate after submitting the visa application ? Like after a few days of lodging the visa application. Also, within how many days of lodging the visa do we need to get the medicals done?
Australia
Once all the documents are uploaded, how much time does the visa grant take?

Hi, @gregormendel just wanted to check if DHA has stopped giving visa grants because I havenโt seen any grant updates lately. If processing has been paused, do you have any idea when it might resume?
Thanks.
