Thank you soo much for quick reply! Went on Humira almost a year ago  It's stable and amazing but I know the cost might be an issue. Have they told you guys specifically it wouldn't have been approved? My specialist have helped previous clients to overrule decisions so I hope it will be ok . Thank you soo much for sharing as I can't find any recent information reg MOC times or my condition inregards to aust visa. So 2-3 months from submitting to MOC until visa was approved?

Thank you heaps again!

Hi Lellor

your immigration officer only need an opinion of the MOC. once its positive, visa approved unless there are any other issues. The immigration officer will follow the clause under migration act. You can check online migration health requirement. Go through the clauses n you will have an idea what you need to do. Yes, you can challenge the MOC decision if it’s against you. There are some case studies online where people manage to get the visa approval under serious medical conditions. Even you can check the threads and post on this site regarding HUmira and how it effects visa processing.

Check this out too https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa/Heal/overview-of-the-health-requirement/significant-costs-and-services-in-short-supply

I did a lot of research because Australian immigration health requirements are very strict. I guess you know the rule if you have a family "one fail, all fail". The Australian immigration system has very strict health requirements for all people applying for permanent residence, designed to minimise costs to Australia’s health care and welfare system. More visa refused on medical grounds than any other scenario. So what I recommend is as you are on humira , don’t be scared n take migration advice from any reputed lawyer expert in these cases. Let me know if you need any information. cheers

Hi brets, could you pls tell me how your application has gone? I'm applying now and in same situation. Did you have to fill ou form 884 did you say? And see specialist again? How long did t take all in? Would be sooohappy for some guidance! Thank you!

hi there,

yes we received the information from MOC to get the form 884 filled out through our specialist. we had an appointment straight away after that. Our specialist provide the report that my partner's health was in stable condition n she had no problem to do daily tasks. we got our PR on 20 may 2016. if MOC asked you to do the form 884, you simply have to make an appointment with your specialist. your specialist should already have form 884 and he knows what to do. he need to provide the information of your RA to immigration like,

recent blood test report result

your joints condition

your RA stage

able to perform daily task like driving, cooking, taking shower, tie pony tail

your current medication with cost/year

you specialist appointment cost per year

possibility if you need to have a joint surgery or to put your treatment to next stage in the next 5 to 10 year

than the MOC will use this information to estimate the total cost of your treatment for the next 5 to 10 year and compare against the average Australian medical threshold. if its below that cost, you all good.

unless you are on an expensive treatment like Humira, you will be fine. Immgration only want to check if your treatment cost will put the burden on the free medicare services in future.

my partner is still on the same medication n only need i apointment per year.let me know if you need anymore help.

cheers

Many congratulations! Enjoy your future in Australia. Please don't forget to update the spreadsheet ☺️

thanks QLD1872015.

spreadsheet updated.

Hello there,

I am very delighted to share with you all out there that I am finally permanent resident of Australia from today onwards.. it was quite the ride for me as I have overcome so many hurdles , so here is my timeline.

Nomination and visa 186 TRT :- 3 march 2015

186 TRT nomination cancelled :- 4 June 2015

nomination and visa 187 Direct Entry :- 18 September 2015

medical and police check :- 1 march 2016

medical referral to MOC :- 2 march 2016

medical submitted to DIBP :- 25 March 2016

additional document request :- 11 April 2016

document submitted :- 17 May 2016

reason of taking to long to submit the requested document :- the account/ payroll manager quit from the company's head office

Nomination and Visa 187 Granted :- 20 may 2016.

I sincerely appreciate for all your advice and support on this forum. Best of luck

Wow it seems you have been through a lot! I am amazed by your determination and mindset!!! You will get it in the end! When did you apply your 186? And what's your occupation for your 187?

hi there,

I applied nomination and application last year 4 march for 186 TRT as a chef , and nomination canceled 4 June (exactly after 3 months). I had a plan B to go for 186 direct entry but like every other applicant, I choose 187 as the fastest processing visa under employer nomination. Now it seems like 186 DE could have been better option. Well, That time has gone anyway so still hope for the best this time.

waiting is not a problem however its delaying the other plans.

hi Sodhi and Basheer

the restaurant (franchisee) opened in late 2014. I am the only one sponsored here and with the same company from 2010. I made the decision when I finished 2 year on 457 in the city and moved to this franchisee for 186 TRT. that's why my nomination canceled because of different ABN. so I applied again through 187 and hopefully this time will be all good.

they did ask for the organisational chart and proof of advertisement that we provided during 186 nomination. the reason they are asking for the recent documents now is because of my MA use most of the documents from my old nomination (186 TRT). best of luck

hi everyone,

just to let you know that immigration requested the following additional documents last Monday.

1) visa application documents :- partners study documents as her IELTS expires last month and her countries of residence-character requirements. all submitted the same day.

2) employer nomination documents :-

a) BAS from the time of commencement of operations until the time of nomination lodged.

b) recent financial report.

c) nominee personal record (pay slips).

d) certification from accountant about that the business has the financial capacity to meet the employment obligations for the next 2 years.

we submitted that last year but immigration want the recent documents. Now today, the account officer from the head office back from her annual holidays. So hopefully she will arrange these documents ASAP. nom and visa lodge 18 september 2015.

at least happy to know that these are the last requirements from immigration. wish me luck guys..:yes:

Did anyone applied Bridging Visa B before?

hi there,

yes i did that before. so you need the bridging visa B to travel overseas but you have to come back within 3 months. the best thing about this visa is no body will stop you to get back into australia. i did that in 2012, not sure if somthing changed after that. check on the DIBP site.

cheers

Congrats mate...cheers

Hi brets, this is not big issue. Contact your doctor ask him to make report and them submit report to bupa.

Thanks Gurb,

how did you go with your Medical? And most important, how long it will take..? I guess through the e medical, it should be quick once we submit the report. I want to be 110% sure to clear the medical. It's DIBP condition" one fail, all fail" and at this time any negative result will be a big blow to our future plans. It's 168 days since we lodge the 187. Nothing from the immigration yet.....

and one last question, can we check online about the result of our medicals ....?

cheers

What will happen next is that you will get the report done by your medical practitioner. This will answer the questions required by the Medical Officer.

 

The information will be used to calculate cost of likely future treatment required.

thanks Suzukiscottie,

can you suggest me how much minimum cost we need to have to clear the medical? she is only having the blood test, specialist appointment and medication. as from our previous record, we estimate the annual expenses on her treatment is around $2000.

cheers

hi everyone,

I need an advice, suggestion or experience if anyone being through this situation before. I already created a separate thread but really appreciate for your replies.

I received a referral letter from the MOC (Medical Officer of the Commonwealth ) to have the further information and report (form 884) from the specialist after my partner had her medical done on 1 march 2016. she is diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. she is under prescription medication ( sulfasalazine and Methotrexate). she need to have blood test after every 3 months and specialist appointment twice in year. she is in stable condition now after we found the symptoms 1.5 years ago. MOC asked for report addressing history, diagnosis, treatment ( including the need for immunomodulating therapy/ surgery) and prognosis for the next 5-10 year. Can someone with the similar situation or medical referral by MOC tell me what will happen next? what MOC going to check from the specialist report? how long it will take to have the medical approved from MOC? please we need an advice if anyone of you or any known to you being through this before.

thanks

thanks...Brets

 

thing is i'm not happy with my MA...i'll c by next week

hi there,

i believe you have to make a quick decision as your student visa going to finish soon. I wish you will get your nomination approval next week. Like I mentioned before, if your are confident with your MA, go for the visa. If not, you need to take a professional advice from someone high profile MA.

What ever you do, do it fast. You can make lots of things hapening onshore rather than offshore.

best of luck.

hi any body can help me at this my situation( as a cook cert3 AND CERT4)

 

nomination applied on 18/9/2016 still waiting i don't want apply the visa until i'll get nomination approved

 

student visa getting expired in 16/3/2016 TR not eligible student visa i'm thinking anybody give me a good idea according to there experience

thanks to all have a goodnight

hi Rajdeep,

according to your current situation, I guess you should apply for the visa ASAP. there was few members on this forum who had the similar case and didn't got enough time to apply for the visa while waiting for the nomination approval. its better to wait here than offshore . if you are confident that you satisfied all the requirement for your nomination, go for visa straight away.

if you are going for another option ( extending your student visa) , why not use the same money and effort for 187 visa. At least you will be one step closer to your PR.

Hi Guys,

 

I am following this forum since July 2014. After more than one and half year of wait, finally today I woke up as a permanent resident of Australia.

2nd Nomination Approved: July 2015

Visa lodge: 3/08/2015

 

MRT open: Somewhere near Sep-Oct 2015, they were satisfied (written in result) but they refused it as the other nomination was already approved.

 

Visa Doc Requested: 18/02/2016 (Police certificate, it was already there) - VIC Centre

I wish you all the best and hope you get yours very soon, sooner then you are expecting. If you have any question please let me know.

 

You guys were a big support and motivation for me. I checked this forum almost every hour

A Great Joy 3rd August,

my case is pretty similar to you except I didn't apply for the MRT after my 186 TRT nomination refusal. I can understand the level of happiness you are feeling right now.

best wishes once again.

Hi S Raika

thanks to create the spreadsheet. I just entered my details. I am not sure if I have to save that or not, hopefully will update the new information soon as I am too on the last lap ( 5 - 6 month)

cheers

It's up to you. I did mine before applying because I wanted to avoid any delay by waiting for DIBP to ask for them. Keep in mind that some countries (e.g. Hong Kong) require a letter from DIBP requesting the police check, so it's not always possible to get them done before they contact you for them.

Thanks Maggie,

I just sent an email regarding the same query that you mentioned above. hopefully will get the green signal as my friend is from the same country and he already done his medical and police check before he applied. I also want to speed up with my visa processing.

I appreciate the time you take to reply..

cheers

I did my overseas and Australian police clearance before apply but i went overseas last years for 2 months and i did again my overseas police overseas last month in case CO ask again it is already upload.and my medical i just did without immi request.

As i don't want to wait another 28days if they request

Roger that,

Thanks mate. this seems like I have to talk to my MA to have these requirement done ASAP.

best of luck

Hey brets.it is all up to you about medical but police clearance should be done as soon as you can.

But remember this if immi as ur medical or some docs u have wait sometime 28days.but all depends also on luck how fast CO want to process.

Good luck [emoji4]

hi Ricky,

so according to you, i can go for police clearance (international and australian) now and wait for the immigration to ask me for the medical. Did immigration asked you about your medical as your medical was done last month?

cheers

hey guys,

congratulations to all who got there visa granted or nomination aproval in last 2 weeks.

i have a quick question. Is it possible to get your medicals and police check done before the immigration ask you to do ?

my MA said that i have to wait untill immigration ask. but my friend's MA (senior MA from gold coast ) ask him to get it done before applying for 187 RSMS.

any advice or suggestion?

my timeline

nomination and visa applied 18 november 2015

nothing from immigration.

Just received (delayed) notification from my employer that my nomination was approved on 29 January!

 

Still waiting for visa approval...

congratulations.....look like your nomination approved almost after 6 months, will get your visa soon for sure.

cheers
