Does anyone know if S56 comes only for medicals does it mean rest of the application is good ? or is it just that they havent even looked at the other aspects beside medicals . Also it would be great if someone knows how much time does it take for the grant after completing s56 for medicals, Thanks and good luck for ur application

It could be both, depending on how the particular case officer processes his applications. Usually, it means the rest of the application is good, and you receive grant within days or a couple of weeks after your medical clearance is updated.
 
Congratulations to those who have received it. And all the very best for a beautiful life.

I have an s56 for medical. When do I click the following button? - “I confirm that I have provided the information as requested” 1. right after attending the health tests OR 2. after I have received clearance for all health examinations?

Hi SirJam,

I read on other comments that it takes between 3 days to 3 months.
If its all clear with health and pcc it will certainly get processed alright.

I wish you the best.
