Do you know why it's necessary for you to undergo another round of medicals? Which checks did they do the first time round?

No idea why we need another round.  The blood tests make sense, but not sure about the medicals itself.  Our medical appointment last time were very quick.  He weighed us, checked lungs, heart, throat and ears, and poked around on my stomach, and required a urine sample.  With the kids the same, as well as length and head circumference. Not sure if the 457 medicals are very basic, compared to the PR medicals.  Will let you know, we are doing the medicals on Thursday.

Hi @TeachinginSA Congrats on the super fast progresss. I just want to ask you about your timeline. When did you lodge your visa & how ready was it. What was the next contact - was a direct grant or request for more things? Any detail you can offer would be great. Thanks.

Hi There JJDLmoving 

 

We used an Agent - so  things where pretty organised as we knew exactly what was needed and when. The Entire proses took us 1 year , from investigating options, to taking the plunge , to writing and re writing IELTS,  the AITSL assessment etc, etc. 

 •13 Oct received invitation to apply for PR from skills select. 

• Logged application 31 Oct

• Request for Medicals and Criminals 23 November (only contact from case officer) 

• Received Grant 18 Jan

 

Hope that was what you where looking for - otherwise im happy to answer further questions !

Hi all

A quick outline of our application:

made the decision to apply in August 2016.  We have applied for a 189 visa (electronic instrumentation technician) with 60 points - family of 4 (2 adults and 2 toddlers)

Contacted an agent who helped with the skills assessment - we submitted in September 2016.

Wrote the IELTS in December 2016.

Application lodged 17 January 2017.

Case officer appointed 8 February 2017.

Medicals completed 9 February 2017.  

Now the only thing outstanding is our PCC, which was received 7 February 2017.

So we were contacted by our case officer today. Happy with all the documents, just missing the PCCs (sent to Pretoria 2 weeks ago) and medicals (going this Thursday).

Welcome @rossfamily!
