Hi
I have applied for a de facto visa with my Australian partner (I'm British). We've been living together in the UK for the last 18 months and I think we have sent enough evidence for that side of things. Today I had my medical and it all went fine except I am currently taking 20mg citalopram for mild depression. I am absolutely fine at the moment, fully functional, never seen a psychiatrist or had a diagnosis and never taken a day off work because of it. I started taking them originally in Jan 2012, stopped once and started again since then. Even though the panel doctor didn't seem too worried, I'm really panicking now! I know there have been some other very similar threads and fingers crossed it seems that this won't ruin my chances. But I was wondering if anyone could tell me exactly what happens if they ask for more information. Will they contact me directly to arrange this or does the GP get a request and send it back without me seeing whats been written? I'm worried that a report from the GP will be too negative as I always see a different one when I go so I don't feel like any of them know my situation very well! I have also read that some people have got a report from a private consultant to speed up the process. Does anyone know how much I can expect to pay if I go private?
So sorry for all the questions, would really appreciate to hear from anyone who has been in a similar situation!
Thank you
