Hi guys!

It a pain, but that recording about them not being there to take your call, I assume is also their "line busy" message. Either way, last night at 1am (UK time) I got through to them after 3 attempts within about a 5 minute period. They said they were busy with early October, but that it is not 100% accurate gauge and you should contact your CO as they are the only one who can request them to urgently process something. GOOD LUCK ALL, WE ARE OFF IN 2 WEEKS!!!:xmas16::laugh::xmas24::xmas25::xmas27:

Whahoooooooooo!!!! Got the golden letter!!! Was up to feed baby and there was nothing, then called GH (Aparently they are doing early October) so I was just searching my emails to get my CO's number and right then...Pop!!!!! Mine was online

Congrats!! Wow! Mine was also 28th I'm on an old 175 Skilled Migrant Visa, which appears to be similar to the new 190 (correct me if I'm wrong) hope they have the same priority and mine and it will follow shortly. Would definite be a MERRY CHRISTMAS if it does :xmas24:

Congratz Mudgil! 22 Oct? Wow, I assume you are paper based.

I think they are processing up to the 28th at the moment, or around the 28th (People have been told 25, 27 and 28 judging by the posts), also looking at the current people who are actually being completed, they seem to currently be busy with ones around the 10th. So you may well have a happy Christmas :xmas23:

Sorry for the bit of selective reading on my part but my medicals were Referred on the 28th of September :wink: and this is the first time that date has come up in the Forum :xmas16: Was your an paper or electronic one?

According to the spreadsheet she is paper.

Where does 175 fit into all of this?

I feel you pain. As for today I'm officially on Week 9! My Electronic referral was 28 September :SLEEP:By your math above I've got until 28 December to wait but I assume the Christmas holidays will push that back to Jan somewhere. They do just unexpectedly forward every now and then, so who knows?! :twitcy:

Congratz Maxx82! What visa type did you apply for?

If I were you I'd give it 2 or 3 more weeks. They took 4 weeks to process the last week in August and is currently (as far as we know) busy doing the first week in September. If your eVisa status is showing your medicals as being referred from the 16th it means they still would not have looked at your case at MOC (Depending on the VISA type). There is a contact phone number for Global Health here: http://www.immi.gov.au/gateways/panel_doctors/about_global_health/ but be prepared to be frustrated. I've tried many times and never got though... then again other people do get through.

CONGRATS!!! WHOHOO! September is going down!! :biglaugh:

Sorry that is the extent of my knowledge. I am referring to the eVisa login, and it does indicate the status of the medicals based on your CO's view it, hence the mention of the statuses it shows in my previous post. There is no clearer view of it as far as I'm aware, which is why loads of people check this forum every day to see what progress GH have made. You keep referring the medicine, maybe you have a different process to mine as I had no "medicine" process only the medicals. As another poster mentioned your process may be different if you are on the new system. My visa is an 175 skills migration one.

You can only check if its received, finalized or referred on the normal http://www.immi.gov.au/e_visa/check-progress.htm link. At our clinic, they took the photos themselves, we also came prepared with them but didn't seem to need them. We did hand it forms, but we had to fill in very little on them and the panel doctor did the rest. Hope that helps...
