Dear friends!

Anybody who has applied for Partner Visa with Hepatitis B positive and was granted visa, please share experience. I’m in stage of providing further medical results to MOC for his/her opinion?

Thank you very much

Hi there,

 

We processed our application through a RMA and were advised not to take a health test until asked. Immi aksed for it 6 months into the application and after completing the initial test discovered the Hep B. Immi then requested further test by a specialist, including further Hep B blood tests and liver ultrasounds, which were all sent to Immigration after completion (those tests look around 2 months).

 

After Immigration recieved final test results they took a further 2-3 months to decide on the Visa. The Hep B specialists that we saw were recommended by our personal GP, and it was important that they knew our situation so they could write the final letter to Immigration the correct way. Immigration then send the findings to Medicare for a response from then they decide on the visa based on their comments.

 

Hope that helps.

Hi friend,

Please explain “Immigration send the findings to Medicare for response”. Why is Medicare involved here?

Thank you very much

Hi guys,

 

Just curious if anyone knows this. Myself and my girlfriend are 8 months into a strong partner visa application and during her medicals she tested positive to Hepatitis B.

 

Immigration requested liver and blood tests - liver tests came back 100% OK - however the blood tests have come back HBsAg positive with evidence of chronic Hep B - this is understandable, she contracted it as a child and was treated, never had complications since.

 

However more blood tests have returned and the doctor has advised us she needs to come back in for some sort of an injection.

 

We were wondering if anyone knows, considering this is a family visa - how bad Hep B needs to be before they refuse the visa? Advice muchly appreciated. :unsure:

Hi, friend!

i’m having similar issues with your girlfriend. I’m very worried & stressful. Can I have your email or number to have further question?

Please help me in this terrible time.

Thank you very much
