Hi All, I have submitted my PR application for visa subclass 190. I have met all the qualifications for the visa and was invited to apply. However, during the medical examination, they found that I am a hepatitis B carrier. I was referred to a liver specialist and he diagnosed that I inherited the condition from my mom. My liver function test is high, but I am not experiencing any damage to my liver at the moment. I have started treatment with Viread. My liver specialist has been in regular correspondence with the immigration. However, I am a bit worried that my application may be rejected on the basis of my health condition. I think I had the medical on October last year but haven’t heard anything back until now. Anyone has any experience about this? I wonder if my visa will be delayed for long due to this health issue.

Hi killerbee82, I have the same situation as you. May I know your current status of the visa 190 application? How long it takes for them to come to a decision?
