I mean to say as we get S56 request from skilled.support email, do we need to reply to that email or just click the button in the immiaccount? That was my question.

You canât email anything to the COâŠonly communication is via immiaccount and in this case , you need to click the button post uploading required inputs.

So does anyone have any idea when the focus from PMSOL will shift to a broader list? Weâre at 5 covid cases on average daily, not a single invitation was sent out, barely ANY grants were given. Literally no sign of âgoing back to normal after the annual budget is released in octoberââŠ
Does anyone have any idea how one is to plan their damn life around this complete obscure, arbitrary, unfair system? Do we just wait silently with all our endeavours on hold âhopingâ someone tells us its probably not going to happen in the next year?
I am livid. I would rather be told to not bother waiting so I can move on with my life. This is torture.
It seems this policy will remain until next financial year.
So, better to expect any grant by then.
Weâre nearly mid way though.

100% agreed. Thereâs no transparency in this tilted system. I can live with a rejection, but not this brutal indefinite wait.
We can see the same scenario in all the social media groups. All the lodged applicants are getting frustrated with this never ending agony. No Mara agents or mia never addressed this issue with the government. We lodged petition other than that we couldnât do anything more. As a suggestion if we can get some media attention same like partner visa got then something might happen.
Could you please share the petition to these other groups to see if they can get some more signatures?
You may need to advise them that only citizens or Permanent residents can sign.
Australian media is strictly anti migration. They will never raise our issue.
They recently changed the processing time to 9-19 months 
It was 5-7 months when I lodged my application back is Aug 2019
It doesnât really matter the processing times. It varies according to the grant given for the previous month. They arenât following this I guess

Thatâs probably because they might be getting too many calls complaining about the delay. Now they can just advise that the application is within processing time.
Hi mate,
How many points have you acquired?
At the time of invitation it was 80
- Age 30
- Study 15
- Australian study 5
- Professional year 5
- PTE 20
- NAATI 5 but I think points does not priorities the application once it is lodged.
donât understand why these geniuses canât let the case officer remain same for an application from start till decisionâŠonce CO has asked for further information and applicant provides that, if by godâs grace application gets picked again, its a new CO and its not really âfurther processingâ
All this is extremely depressing.
Who is waiting for longest period here? My lodgment was 11 June 2019 (Lodged onshore, now offshore)
mine is even olderâŠlodged on 6 Apr 2019âŠs56 request mail in Mar 2020 and thereafter no update
Dec 1,2018- offshore-263111
On another note-not that it makes a difference, but the processing times have increased to 9 months a minimum and 19 months a maximum.
i have applied application onshore on july 2019 (263311) and currently in Australia only. No grant yet. In immi tracker, till now âŠwe didânt see any trend of granting visa to onshore applicants only or offshore applicant. It seems, they are just picking the application based on priority occupation list
They actually have granted more visas to onshore candidates then offshores. A couple of months ago, some disclosure logs (FOI) suggested that they have granted 71 visas to onshore applicants in the month of July, compared to <5 for offshore applicants
