• Application Volume: Peak seasons (e.g., student intakes in Feb/July) may cause delays.

• Document Accuracy: Incomplete or incorrect submissions trigger requests for more information (RFIs), adding weeks to processing.
• Health & Character Checks: Delays in medical exams or police clearances can slow down approvals.

• Priority Processing: Some visas (e.g., Global Talent Visa) offer faster tracks for high-demand occupations.
