Hi I was wondering if anyone has applied for a 189 from a 457 visa? I had a full medical with bloods and chest X-Ray for my 457 in January 2013. DIAC help line told me I could use my 457 medical, providing it is within a 12 month time frame, my case officer has told me I need to get another medical done. The reason given was that because I had my medical done in the UK, she cannot get the temporary clearance changed to permanent :arghh: has anyone else experienced this? I've spoken to the hospital who did my medical who advised that they enter the medical information straight on to DIAC software so they definitely have the information. It's so frustrating and driving me crazy!:wacko:
