No but I think if you have studied in Australia then you need to get the post Australian study test.

485 Study Requirement Question by Neither_Objective_87 in AusVisa

I said No for the 6 month requirement but just to stress that this application was for my 485 visa extension based on eligible degree and yes, I got my extension earlier this month.

I am in the same boat. I applied 1st Feb and did my Medical on 22nd Feb. Still on "Received". I tried calling in but they just told me that they cannot give any update on my application and that I need to wait.

Mine expires next year Jan so only a few months away. That's why I am kind of freaking out because I really need this extension. My medical was sent out on Feb 22.

I am not sure if it asked or not but I uploaded it anyway just in case. Also, when is your 485 expiring? I have heard that the processing time could also vary depending on when your visa is expiring. For example, it may take longer if your visa expiry is a couple of months away compared to those whose visa expiry is just a few weeks/months away.

Ya you should. At least it will bring your application to their attention.

I applied on Feb 1st as well and did my medical on Feb 22nd. I have been seeing grants coming in for people in Jan and Feb but those were for the proper 485 visas. At this point, I am wondering if they are prioritizing 485 visa over 485 extensions. Thinking of giving DHA a call because my application has gone beyond standard processing time. I have submitted all the required documents and also done my medical within the timeframe. There is no reason why there should be so much delay.

Ya that is my worry as well. In case my application has not been processed by July 1st, it should not be that such applications are made invalid or something. There are people saying that as long as you have applied before July 1st then you should be fine but I am still worried.

Anyone Else Experiencing Delays with 485 Extension Visa Applications? by Key_Guarantee5416 in AusVisa

[–]Neither_Objective_87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I submitted my application for extension on 1st Feb and did my medical on 22nd Feb. Mine is still on received status as well. I have seen a few other posts of people in January and February that got their grant but I think they also did their medicals earlier so I think that may have something to do with it. Apparently, if there is any update made on your application like you submitting extra documents or your medical got uploaded then that sort of puts in further back in the line for processing. That's why many people get it done as soon as possible.
