No need to worry. It happened with my wife too, then visa officer called me to get info. She called back to my wife again once I explained the situation. Just give all the info the ask. You will get visa hopefully. My wife got visa in 9 months (Standard Time).

Firstly thanks to all the members for guidance and help. I think my post was not clear. Here are some more details: I know my wife before marriage (as we are relatives) I did not have any contact (Phone, Email, Skype, Letters etc.) with her because I lived in Australia and she lived overseas. secondly its arranged marriage. I got married last year with local traditions and I was physically there and we lived together after marriage for 1 month. Since marriage I am supporting her financially and we in contact almost everyday through Email, Phone and Skype. Now my question is how should I give "Evidence of contact before marriage" where I don't have any thing in black and white. Yes we did met on family gatherings and festivals but don't have pictures together. I hope it clears a little bit. Again thanks for the help and guidance. Gud Luk

Dear members and visitors, I applied for my partner spouse visa for Australia. I have been asked to provide "Evidence of contact before marriage". My marriage is arranged and I don't have anything to provide for contact before marriage. What should I do? Any suggestions or guidance is welcome. Thanks Gudluk

Thanks for your replay mate, I have done my medicals 2 - Times before and both of the times I went for Complete Medicals for Permanent Visa Application and did Chest Xray, Blood Test and Urine Test as well. I hope and pray I dont have to waste my money again on Unnecessary Medicals. I hope my CO will understand that my Medicals are already cleared for Permanent Visa:unsure:.

Hi I have found following info on DIAC website. I have highlighted relevant info with Blue text below. Could someone please have look at it and advise me If I qualify for Re-Use of Medicals. I am onshore on Subclass 487 visa and awaiting result for Subclass 886 Visa. Do I need medicals for my Subclass 886 Visa Application? Re-use of health examination results In some circumstances you may be able to re-use the health examination reports or health clearance you used for your current visa to demonstrate that you meet the health requirement for a new visa application. However visa processing officers may still ask you to undergo new health examinations if they consider it appropriate. The following table shows circumstances where health examination reports and clearances may be reused.

Hi everyone, I know every applicant has to undergo for a Medical Examination for their Health Assessment. But If someone has done Medicals for their Subclass 475 OR 487 Visa and got their visa. Do they have to redo Medicals for their Subclass 176/886 Visa Application? Anyone with previous experience with such situation is welcome.
