We front loaded our PCC`s And then booked our Meds after we submitted the offshore 176 Visa. We never got an Email from a CO telling us to get our meds, we just booked it and went to it... We still dont really know if we have a CO as we haven't had any contact from them...:confused:

Good Luck to your Friend...

Ya hopefully u will get a CO soon.. the co would mail you usually once they open your application .. or you can check on the online ..if any of your status has changed to completed tht implies co is on your application.

Hi Sherin

We didn't front load ours in the end only because we didn't have time. We booked our medicals (as we had to wait 2months before an available appointment for all 4 of us) and applied for our police checks before we had a CO. Then we got a CO assigned whilst we were waiting for the police checks and before our medicals so as soon as we had them we uploaded. We would of front loaded if we hadn't had the CO assigned whilst we were waiting.

hope this helps

Thanks Roberts

Hi All

I front loaded my medicals and PCC for my 176 Visa and that helped in expediting the visa process. But that was a year back, does it work now.

My friend has applied for an onshore 176 but his partner and kid is offshore, he has been allotted a case officer. I was suggesting him to front load Medicals and PCC for his partner and kid.

I thought of taking a second opinion from some of folks who has been through the visa process recently.

Cheers
