Just to update. Went for medical today. As expected urine test had trace of blood but they waited half an hour, told me to drink 2 glasses of water and did it again - no trace!! So passed the urine test. Huge relief. Medical was graded A. Just waiting for chest x-ray.

Thanks everyone for your comments. Feel a bit better about this now. Fingers crossed. Will post when I have medical done and let you know how I get on.

This happened to my Dad, blood in the urine, and he was asked to see a Urologist for an expert opinion.

He has exactly the same condition as you and once he had the report saying what it was and that there wasn't a kidney or prostate problem / anything serious he was accepted without any further nonsense.

With your medical make sure you are not over weight!

hopefully the letter I have from urologist from 14 years ago stating no kidney or prostrate problems or anything else found will be enough. Fingers crossed!! sooooooo stressful!!!!! And no I'm not overweight - very proud of my 6 pack!!

Hi, I have the same - I submitted letters from the consultant stating what investigations i'd had and that there was no explanation and it was unlikely to cause problems. I didn't have one of the letters, my GP photocopied it (charged me for copying) - shouldn't be a problem if you can send off the results of the investigations. It won't stop you getting the visa, but if you don't submit any evidence there's a chance they'd ask you to see a specialist.

I have the letter from the urologist when the tests (including a couple under anaesthetic so pretty in depth) were done 14 years ago stating he found nothing. I saw another doctor before him who did a couple of general tests before he referred me to a urologist for further investigation as a further precaution but I don't have anything from him and he's now retired. My GP only had the urologist letter. I'm hoping the letter from the urologist who states he found nothing will be enough.

People fail medicals if their health care is going to be a significant expense to the Australian tax payer. IS your condition likely to mean this?

Hi Rupert

No, apart, from the investigations 14 years ago, there has been no need for any treatment or medication since as no actual medical condition has been identified.

Hi all

i have had asymptomatic microscopic hematuria (traces of red blood cells in urine) for 14 years. It was found by chance, I had a full range of tests and investigations at the time and nothing sinister was found. I had a few follow ups but then didnt have to keep going. Sometimes it's there sometimes it's not. My dad has had the same for years (he's 60 now) and my brother the same. Is the fact that I have this likely to prevent me from getting my visa? This is the final hurdle.

anyone had the same and got their visa?

We recently lodge our 190 application. I am the main applicant and my partner is the secondary applicant. We answered “no” to the question on the application “ has any applicant ever been convicted of a crime or offence in any country (including any conviction which is now removed from official records)?”. When perhaps we should have answered “yes”.

 

My partner has a spent conviction, he was caught shop lifting 4 years ago from Coles supermarket. We assumed as it was a spent conviction, we did not have to declare it but it has shown up in his police clearance… are we now completely screwed?? What should we do?

Hi. What was the outcome to this? Did it get sorted? Did you have to provide statements/references? My OH had a juvenile conviction so his Police Check has come back No Live Trace as it was 14 years ago. I won't have a clue where to start with a statement or what needs to be in a reference:confused:
