Received s56 Request for Further Information (RFI) from Visa Case Officer→

I have received an email saying that your file has been allocated for processing on 05 March for 190 (WA) non-priority. I have not received any email after that. Does someone know how long it will take for S56 or a grant after that?

S56 Trends

No new S56 requests were reported for 11 March 2026. All S56 data relates to historical requests associated with today's visa grants.

Trends and Patterns in S56 Requests

S56 requests continue to focus on standard documentation requirements. Common requests include:

Medical Requirements: Multiple cases received S56 requests for medicals or remedicals, particularly for offshore applicants. Processing continued after medical clearance was obtained.

Police Clearance Certificates: Several applicants were asked to provide PCCs for themselves or family members, including for additional periods or broken periods of residence.

Polio Vaccination Certificates: This remains a frequent S56 request across multiple visa subclasses and states, particularly for offshore applicants.

Employment Documentation: Some cases required additional employment verification, including contracts of employment and clarification of employer office arrangements for consultancy-based work.

Character and Health Documents: Requests included departmental character certificates and health undertakings, particularly for offshore applicants.

Priority occupation applicants (Health and Teaching) continue to experience faster processing times compared to non-priority occupations. Several Registered Nurses and Secondary School Teachers received grants within 1-2 months of lodgement, while non-priority occupations showed processing times ranging from 5-15 months.
