Shreya10 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Hi Shreya10 I'm not surprised your a bit confused. I'm confused about the whole system. Like where is my grant?? Lol Global health are responsible for the processing of meds. In other words, when your panel clinic uploads the results, they are processed by global health. If you get an A grade by the doctor, that particular medical will (usually) be auto cleared by the system. However, if you are graded B, then this will trigger on the system causing it automatically being referred, to be cleared by a medical proffesional. Like i said, global health are responsible for processing meds and if referred they are placed in a queue to be double checked by medical experts (MOC). I emailed them to find out the statues. They were very quick to respond. The following day actually. Health.strategies@immi.gov.au Hope this helps. Let me know how you get on Hi Stevie , any idea how soon referred meds get cleared?any time frame ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syed21 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Hi Shreya 10 I am currently onshore in Sydney. I did my medicals for temporary residence. I have uploaded those medical reports for the time being. but I would still need to do blood test only. ( for TR you are not required to do blood test) I am waiting for CO advise to do so.

stevie129 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Hi Stevie ,any idea how soon referred meds get cleared?any time frame ? Hey Shreya10 I believe the current processing times is around 3 months. But I have seen them being quicker than that. I am wondering though, if the increase in the amount of applications lodged prior to 1st July to save the extra diac fees will result in a back log in referred meds. Hopefully not! My patience is really starting to run out! Did you email health strategies to find out about your meds? Have you got a co allocated yet? As far as I know, I don't!! 10 weeks since lodgement this Friday!!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Visa for me Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Received my police clearance from Ireland last week and they put in the wrong date of birth... Grrrr. New one received and uploaded. Form 80 front-loaded as well. Now just for the medical next monday... And to think I was considering paying an agent to do this. I hope I don't eat my words when I get a CO but it has been pretty straightforward so far. Albeit Form 80 is a gruelling one to chase up information for. Hope everyone is doing good today. Hopefully there's some good news for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marksman Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 My 189 application. finally got lodged yesterday, which is great as I miss the payment increase scheduled for 1st September Reading a few pages in this thread, seems like the fun is about to begin. I am applying to go to Perth as an Electronic equipment trades worker and my aim is to leave the uk January/February 2014. Fingers crossed.

Hi Shreya10 Thanks, I'm happy that the co has finally been allocated and that wonderful things will begin to happen lol. The lady told me on the phone that the co will get in touch if any other docs are required. So I'm thinking, as you say, we will possibly never here anything until our meds are finalised or even better, that golden ticket!! I never asked her how long it will take for meds to be cleared cause the last time i rang them i was told they didnt know. Are you using an agent? I am and wish I hadnt botherd in a way. Did you front load form 80? We haven't bothered, hoping they don't ask for it cause it seems to complex! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would really suggest you to fill it up and upload to the online system. so that there are less delays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirwais Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 We are expecting a baby and CO knows about it. Will it make any difference/convenience when applying for child visa after our VISAs have been granted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I hear of some case officers never asking for a form 80 for this 189 visa. Also its not on the documents checklist guide either. I wonder why?? Will start filling it up anyway.

Hi Mirwais, Have ur wife have done xray, as per my knowledge if you are expecting a baby, they recomend not to do Xray..... If your baby is born before the visa grant then you can contact CO and ur baby can get the grant along with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FP215 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Hi Debbio, I've seen people who have previously contacted HMRC and asked for a "yearly" tax statement which has shown all of the relevant information from that tax year, I'm not sure of the exact name of the form but someone there may be able to help.
