Just got this from the http://www.daff.gov.au/biosecurity/cat-dogs : New import conditions when applying for an import permit for your dog or cat come into effect from 2 December 2013. Under the new conditions the minimum post-arrival quarantine stay will be reduced from 30 days to 10 days. To learn more about the change visit the frequently asked questions page. So it's true then? GREAT NEWS. But I guess you all know this already?

Thanks for the advice, I'll just do the medicals and cross my fingers that all will be ok and that there won't be a delay somehow!

Oh, I'm sorry forgot to mention that! I am applying for the Prospective Marriage visa, subclass 300! Is't still like that, when you haven't done your medicals that your application is on hold? Or did't used to be like that and have they changed it?

Hi there! I've just received an email from Berlin and I have a CO now! She is asking for the medicals and I wanted to do it straight away. But then I read about the processing time being 6 to 9 months. I don't know what to do. Will I slow down the process by waiting with the medicals? Will I speed up the process by doing them asap? I can't afford to do them twice, for me and my two children....... What did others do? THANKS for any advice!
