TheBs Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Sjoe - not sure what exactly happened with ours but our son's medicals (with health issues) took a few days longer than the rest of the family Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen-in-Brisbane Posted April 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Well I hope it is a few days.... but I think it may be weeks..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eva Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Well I hope it is a few days.... but I think it may be weeks..... Hi K, try not to stress. When you are waiting you tend to read so much into every little thing. Loads of people have had medicals referred and they all seem to come back just fine. Keep strong, its worth it all in the end!Eva Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chantelle D Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Hi there My medical and my youngest son was finalised on 02/03/2009. Hubbies and oldest son took longer. When I email them they also told me my sons meds are awaiting assessment by HOC. My hubbies status changed on the 30/03/2009 and our visa was granted on the 03/04/2009 without my sons status changing before hand...Sorry to say but you might have a two-four week delay.... that's what happend to us. I know how you must feel I feared the worst was going to happen....but it didn't.Just keep the faith, and you will get some good news soon.

Karen-in-Brisbane Posted April 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Thanks for the encouragement. I did expect this to happen as i have a few problems which individually may seem small, however as a package deal they look HECTIC!!!!

GTrotter Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 I saw on the british expats forum the MOC is currently processing medicals submitted to them (referrals) on 10/03/2009. You can lodge an inquiry directly with the MOC with the following form:http://www.immi.gov.au/contacts/forms/emai...-centres.htm?51 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robyn Abrey Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Thanks GTrotter... will do another enquiry...Thanks Everyone for the support........... the waiting game never ends hey... Dear We R going and all other wonderful 'waiters', supporters and encouragers,I'm so relieved to hear others are suffering with this same 'waiting for Medicals to be assesed situation'!!!Three weeks ago my CO said our visa was approved... pending my medicals being passes ... and the waiting is killing me!!!I have given notice on my home and booked the removal company for mid May, but am hesitant to cancell medical aid, car insurance etc.... just incase....? and yet need to be at my Brisbane job in June!!!My lung x-ray had 'Slightly Hyper infalted Lungs' writen on it.... and I'm finding it hard not to invent dreadful diseases in my imagination!!!Together we wait, where else can one find people that understand the stresses of this immigration process, but on the wonderful forum!!!
