Social Worker lodged Subclass 190 on

Apr
2025
Based on the lodgement pattern of pending visas in the SmartVisaGuide database,
57% of Subclass 190
visa applicants waiting for a visa as of today have a visa application date earlier than you.
However, your grant will be significantly expedited
due to
Social Worker being a priority occupation as per Ministerial Direction 105. This is being reflected in
your
Expected Visa Grant dates section above.

Currently not working. Skilled Partner with Superior English. Family of 3.
Reason for s56 medicals -A few months before our PR medicals, we’d already done them for the 482 visa mid 2024. When we applied for PR, we reused those details and just added a few extra tests. This is why our medicals expired, and we had to redo them in January.
