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.

rossfamily Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 (edited) 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. Edited February 12, 2017 by rossfamily Correction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
