On DIAC page I have somewhere read that the processing time for visa 189 is around two months only. Is this really the case? It is super fast then if it is.

I guess it should be under condition given that you have submitted all requied documents. Wish u all the best Kellie!!!

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.

I am also on the same boat. Have you heard anything back yet? But threads here say that Hep B is an issue for some specific fields only such as health care. For others, you basically do not need to undergo for Hep test.

In ASC applicants guidelines is stated that:

"If you are Unable to Obtain an Employment ReferenceIf you are unable to obtain an employment reference on a company letterhead from your employer, a third party official Statutory Declaration or Affidavit written by a work colleague may be considered.

A Statutory Declaration or Affidavit is a written statement declared to be true in the presence of an authorised witness."

 

So I think that with "certified" they mean that this declaration should be signed in front of authorised witness.

thanks. I finally managed to get it certified from my consulate. Now the waiting game of approx 12 weeks starts off. Though I cannot put up with such a long wait, but no choice.

Guys, am in dire need of help. Hate these ACS assessors...they are just too arrogant.

My employers do not provide details on my responsibilt other than a title in employment certs such as Software Engineer. But ACS needs these details...they later asked for statutory declarations from my colleagues but certified. How such documents on earth which are not official can be certified.

If you have been through this, please share your experience on how you put up with it....thnx!!!

As I remember I have read somewhere the processing of 189 visa after the app lodgement is 2 months only. Is it for real?

First post ever and responding based on my understanding after going through the medical section of DIAC, I do not think it should be a major concern as for visa.
