Hi folks, 

can anyone please share any experiences of outcomes of medicals if one has had a heart attack in the past. What are the likelihood of passing the medicals? Do you know of someone who has passed/failed health check with a heart attack history. Unfortunately, my mother (whom we have this applied 143 visa for) had a scary heart attack whilst on visitor visa last month. Whilst it stressed us all out, luckily she did not need any stents/by pass surgery and her heart function is not at a level of any concern which means we are hoping the long term prognosis is positive; however it has got me concerned re the outcome of medicals in due course. My mother has never had any other medical history, is still in her late 50’s so it all came as a shock to us and being the only child, I am really stressed at the prospects of the 143 visa. I understand the medical officer would test her condition against costings over 10 years. Would love to hear people’s experiences and if they can share anything relevant based on medical outcomes of similar heart conditions that they may be aware of? 

 Look forward to hearing from you all.

 Thanks very much.

My advice is don't stress, I personally have known two cases, one not 143 but PR visa was delayed due to surgery/pacemaker, and had a 10 year cost assessment done and the lawyer presented a very strong case, after multiple rejections before, I too helped out by providing an affidavit of some sort. Finally was granted. Second case was 143 and granted. My advise is think outside the box, if not 143, maybe the 3 year or 5 year visa? hope this helps, All the best.

Got comms from DHA to leave the country (not China) & visa will be granted  Just wanted to share:

Things To Do Tips after initial application (while waiting couple of years till you hear back from a case officer from my experience/things I may have done differently)

Apply for a visitor visa (& hope they grant min 3 years multiple entry or more)
Once visitor visa granted, fork out more money and pay for a year in advance in private health insurance  & do not let it lapse to cover for unforeseen waiting period problems (this could change in future)
Form 80 takes a long time, better start filling in and after every o/s visit, making a record every time
If you have overseas non english, national id card, relationship cert etc, get it translated via Naati 
Go to centrelink* and get a CRN, it just speeds things up when AOS is requested
Open A/c with CBA, just speeds up the AOS Bank Draft process
Last but not least, monitor this forum every ~5 months to be in the loop (read from current page -15)
*One could, like I did, apply for their parents, they literally have no idea lol. I just mentioned that its gonna be a long wait, leave everything to me and just get the documents ready when I ask
Thank you ALL!

Hi Lecher, Have you received Bank Guarantee request letter yet?  My case is similar to you  AoS completed and not received BG request letter. Awaiting your input plz..........

Hi Greece, yes, they didn't bother calling me even though the guy said that I was due for an interview But, the guarantee letter came in my mygov inbox - still haven't received the paper mail. Using that I opened up a bank guarantee and using Miley's guidance I attached the band guarantee + original bg request letter from centre link in one PDF file (used the merge pdfs feature in adobe acrobat). So currently I'm awaiting the final letter. In the meantime I've written twice to my case officer for extension w/o any reply.

Exciting times.  How do you know it was AOS that the missed call was from?

so I called them today, the guy said that he didn't have a direct no to Aos folks but read a note on my file that they had called me for an interview to request a bond. I think they meant a bank guarantee, so it seems i'm on a right track? I requested to be notified via sms (which he mentioned he'll put on my file notes) so I am ready for the call which sadly he mentioned could take another week.

Sorry can’t help but you can help the rest of us. Any chance of giving us the date you submitted original paperwork and Aos application. It helps us all to see how we are moving along.

sure, lodged 6th Jan 16, further doc request on 4th Nov, Aos submitted on 6th nov, 9th Jan missed call from AOS. I'm going to ring them today.

Hello all, I received a no caller ID phone call and my hunch it was the AOS folks. I logged into centrelink and says the AOS has been completed. But, I dont see any online request for bank guarantee and uploading further documents..? has anyone faced this before? Thank you

Does one receive a confirmation email once the supporting docs are sent? apart from AOS (which was due to be finalised on 19Dec), I have submitted everything and also requested an extension due to delay in AOS  but I haven't received any confirmation yet. My concern is that the original email stated that I needed to submit everything by 11th Jan...

Ok, I wrote to my accountant and she advised me that my ato refund is on 7th Nov. I had to link the ATO to MyGov as I did with centrelink and after navigating a bit was able to find where I could access all the previous years assessments, neat! and my return lodged on 31st Oct has assessment due on 7th. My accountant advised me to download a softcopy, so I'll be waiting till 7th Nov to lodge my AOS. Cheers

Thank you, its 143 lodged mid Jan 2016. 

I got the emails today for application submitted Jan 16. Rushed to centrelink to get the CRN, filled out the AOS form, but now stuck with the same predicament as HAN. So basically my accountant filed the returns on 31st Oct, so I dont have the fy18/19 tax assessment. I was wondering if I can submit it and when the assessment comes add in as an attachment OR, should i wait for assessment to come..which might take at least two weeks? Thanks
