Hi, @gregormendel just wanted to check if DHA has stopped giving visa grants because I haven’t seen any grant updates lately. If processing has been paused, do you have any idea when it might resume?

Thanks.

Hey @gregormendel Hope you’re doing well. I have one doubt about documents actually when I submitted my application through my lawyer mistakenly i have sent one wrong document and she uploaded it i think. Basically i have uploaded all the correct documents during my skill assessment for retail pharmacist. But while lodging file i have already submitted my own degree certificate, all semesters mark sheets which is all together seven but the consolidated marksheet i have submitted incorrect. Which is my friend’s consolidated marksheet. Although my lawyer suggested me to write an official explanation letter with my own signature and she uploaded it with correct consolidated marksheet. But I am still worried and concerned about this situation. Will This effect my file? Also its been 11 months now i have been waiting for my grant and my status is still received. Nothing is been ask to submit no s56 nothing. Still waiting for priority occupation grant. Any idea how long it will take because this FY 2025-26 year is almost to an end. I have lodged my file on 25 june 2025. I am so stressed about this situation.

Hey, @gregormendel hope you’re doing well. Its kinda very frustrating when you come closer to your timeline and suddenly you see the changes in the overall timeline for priority occupation. Earlier it was 10 months. When I completed my 10 months waiting period then it goes up to 11 months now my waiting time is 10 months and few days up now it surges to 12 months and one month. I have no idea what is happening with me. I don’t think i will get my grant my Immi account status still showing received. My AHPRA reg is also expired i had to renew it again. I am just spending money not getting anything back. People who i know they all got their grants. Do you have any clue why this is happening?

@gregormendel I have noticed everytime I come closer to my timeline for visa grants suddenly timeline goes up. As previously it was 10 months 22 days for retail pharmacist occupation and my waiting time as of today is 9 months 11 days. Now i can see today’s grants is within one year or 11 months and some days. Which is very frustrating being an offshore without any job. Waiting time is going up everytime. I have no clue now when can i expect my grant as i can see on Immi account my status is still received and haven’t received any s56 or any other request. Proactively submitted my all Pcc and medical and other supporting documents. I am so disappointed with this time frame. Could you guide or provide me any idea when can i get my grant?

@gregormendel I have submitted my visa application on 25 june 2025 for retail pharmacist which is a priority occupation. I am offshore candidate. I can see some people got their grants within 6 months but i have not heard anything about my application and the status is still received. Any idea how long it will take for me to get my grant for 491 visa??
