We received our invitation to apply for a 189 visa last week(YAY!!!), and I've started completed the extremely long visa application form.
I would like to complete medicals before lodging the visa application. According to the DIBP site the process to arrange a health examination when you have not yet lodged a visa application is as follows: (1) you first need to complete the Health Declaration form online, after which the department will determine whether a Health Examination is required. (2) You will then be directed to the eMedical Client portal to consent to eMedical processing and complete your medical history if required. (3) Only then will you be able to download an eMedical Referral letter and get the HAP number.
How long does the department take to determine if you should complete a health examination? I would like to make an appointment for our medicals a.s.a.p., but Intercare will not help me without a HAP number!
Gosh! Just as you think you are making progress, something halts said progress and you have to wait! So frustrating!
