blossom Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Bloody Medicare! So after them trying to tell me that my rsms visa wasn't a perminant visa they seem to have decided that it still isn't as they have sent us 'interim' Medicare cards which last a year. By the sounds of it we are going to have to reapply in a year. I can't really find anything out about this interim card. Can anyone let me know if this is normal on a rsms visa?

Avvy Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 On my acknowledgment letter it said we could get interim medicare cards until we were granted PR, so I also have a one year expiry medicare card (Without a visa grant) but was definately under the impression that once I received grant letter they would be made permanent. Medicare staff don't seem to have proper training on visas etc, I've a lot of stories recently about them messing up things and telling people they're not eligible for treatments when they are, try calling their head office....

blossom Posted December 6, 2012 Author Share Posted December 6, 2012 Yep, I did speak to a supervisor when they were trying to tell me I didn't have pr! She was just as useless. I can hardly find anything out about it online, but it does appear it is for people waiting for pr. grrrr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blossom Posted December 12, 2012 Author Share Posted December 12, 2012 Maybe Medicare read this websites as I hadn't gotten around to hassling them yet but our proper Medicare cards turned up today. Yay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
