Hello, I will be applying (invitation pending of course!) for a 189 visa, I have my English test booked for this month, then skills assessment and APHRA registration. My question is when is the earliest that I could take the medicals? I'm a bit anxious as my husband has had a heart attack so quite keen if at all possible to get the medicals under way as soon as allowed, although am I right in thinking I have to wait until an application is lodged first?
