recommended pa rin po bang antayin ang S56 for the medical or pwede na magpa medical kahit wala pa? @RheaMARN1171933 thank you po

I’ve post this topic a few times in the forum. Yes, best to wait.

When we lodged our 491 application, we immediately received a "Request for Health Examinations" letter which says "You must respond to this request within 28 days after you are taken to have received this
letter." Does this mean applicants can wait even after 28 days until they get the S56? Or does it work differently for other visa types? We've already done our medicals, so just asking out of curiousity.

Once you receive the s56, you’ll need to respond to it. As to when one receives it is on a case by case basis. Not all applications /cases are ever the same.

189 - Skilled Independent (subclass 189)

25% Of Visas Finalised 74 Days
50% Of Visas Finalised 80 Days
75% Of Visas Finalised 88 Days
90% Of Visas Finalised 3 Months

190 - Skilled Nominated (subclass 190)

25% Of Visas Finalised 6 Months
50% Of Visas Finalised 7 Months
75% Of Visas Finalised 11 Months
90% Of Visas Finalised 15 Months

491 - Skilled Work Regional (provisional) visa (subclass 491)

25% Of Visas Finalised 11 Months
50% Of Visas Finalised 19 Months
75% Of Visas Finalised 29 Months
90% Of Visas Finalised 30 Months

Good news for waiting for 189 grant. kaso parang not a good news for 190 and 491.

Clarify ko lang po, so for example ako - invited sa 491, earliest expected na makareceive ako ng grant is 11mos na? tama po ba?

No po. What it means by 11 months ng 25% of applications processed ay yung AGE ng application.

Meaning around January 2022 na-lodge yung 25% of applications na prinocess ng Department of Home Affairs last month.

Same goes sa 50%, 75%, 90%, at 10% of the applications processed.

Those applications are from 2019 at 2020 the most (90% at 75%) so we can conclude na inuubos na nila yung backlogs by how they process the applications.

Kung maubos nila ito by the end of the year, hopefully mas bibilis ang processing time by 2023.

Not necessarily. Medical exam is standard, there is no need for a case officer to determine what needs to be examined. You can always do medicals and police clearances even before the visa application gets assigned to a case officer. However, the common and best practice especially for offshore applicants is to wait for the s56 letter from the case officer. This is to make sure the medical and police clearances are valid upon application decision.

Oh my bad. I tot the question was if they already did the medicals, and just need to renew the medicals. But yeah if its new lodge, pwedeng mag medicals ng walang CO.

Hi po sa lahat!

Na-invite po ako for subclass 189 visa kahapon! Thank you Lord

DIY processing lang po ako so I wanted to make sure na tama po ung gagawin ko. So ang process po ay iupload muna po lahat ng documents, then pay the visa fees, and then iintayin ko po ung HAP ID for medicals? Tama po ba?

Ask ko lang po if yung medicals po ay pwedeng gawin after the 60 day period po? Or dapat nagawa na rin po ung medical within the 60 day period? Thank you so much po sa sasagot!

Congrats po sa invite! Based po sa mga nababasa ko dito, yung 60 days po na yun is yung window para makapag lodge ng visa application. Then after mo makapagbayad for visa application, may ipoproduce na HAP ID na gagamitin mo for your medicals. So I think, pwede naman na magpamedical ka after nung 60 days as long as nailodge mo na yung application mo.

hello. may I ask po why my reassessment kayo with ACS? Is it because diploma ung naunang assessment?

Front and back view need to be uploaded separately. May guidelines din kapag nandoon na ka sa attachment part. Nandoon yong details na nakalagay sa back view.

hello, yes po.. diploma lang yung assessment sakin ng ACS nung una.. ECE board passer ako pero di ko sinama sa papers ko yung PRC kasi IT yung work ko, kala ko walang bearing.. kaya ayun, 10 days bago maglapse yung 60 days, nagpareview ako sa ACS, inattach ko yung board cert ko, then ayun, Bachelor’s degree na! Bali from 6 years, 4 years nalang binawas sa exp ko, plus 5 points pa sa qualification (from diploma to bachelors)

Pang citizenship application lang yung front and back with signature, AFAIK. Front lang need sa visa application.
