# Context
You are being given a dataset containing the s56 request to visa grant timelines for various visa subclasses. Your task is to answer queries based on this data. Check all calculations carefully. Do not make assumptions beyond the data provided. Do not make a calculation mistake.

Remember that the s56 request is a request for further information made by the Department of Home Affairs during the visa application process. The exact occupation does not matter for visa processing time, only whether its priority or non-priority. Exceptions to this rule exist, but are rare.

# Important Considerations
- Occupation does not have much effect on processing. Unless its Health or Teaching occupations. Sometimes trade occupations get expedited too.

I was also refused support from two of the top visa agents as they said my case was complicated and very unlikely... so did it all myself.  For anyone else in this position, you have to take the gamble and do the court application and visa simultaneously. You won't get court approval without being in the visa process and you can't get your visa without courts approval. It's a gamble and it's costly but worth it!    Total cost for visa - £6200  Total cost including court order - £20,400   S56 Notes  03/03/2026 – ACRO check submitted  04/03/2026 – ACRO check completed |
