186 DE visa

Guest
Hello and Merry Christmas!

I am hoping someone can shed some light on the timeframe for visa grant after two s56 submissions..

186 DE visa applied December 2020 (APPLICATION READY)
Medicals complete in February 2021, passed and approved (unsure when)

Nomination approved late November 2021
s56 request for main applicant police checks for Australia, NZ and UK (due to the fact they were expired) received 29 September 2021 and submitted 25 October 2021

De facto police check s56 request received on 27 of November 2021, submitted 3 December 2021

No correspondence since...

I have heard that case officers may not look back at applications until the 28th day after request has passed - does anyone know if this is true?

Also worried that the Xmas and NY holidays may effect processing time (Medicals expire in February 2022!) we are currently unable to complete new medicals without a new referral request.

Has anyone else been in the same boat? if so - is it likely the visa will be granted before our medicals expire? Wishing for an early Xmas present!

Thank you :)
