Hi Cathockey, Haven't you heard anything about your medicals whether the 'medicals are finalised' . I lodged my application on 30th August and completed my x-ray on 02nd September...but I don't see any update in the system apart from 'Application received - processing commenced'.

Shall appreciate your response..Thanks Hi Superman, On the date I lodged my application, "health requirements finalised" automatically appeared aswell. Therefore I've assumed that I will not be asked to do a medical, as from reading other peoples responses this is requested very soon after being lodged (UK passport/low-risk country). I have not received 1 email correspondence from DIAC yet. My sponsoring company has told me that the nomination hasn't yet been approved, although these can happen simultaneously. Hoping for progress next week which will be week 8.

Hi Pavy, mine went in on 11th July, just got case officer yesterday, you can ask your nomination company to chase for you, but it will be difficult for you until you get a case officer as you won't have a direct email. you can email immigration but you will probably get the standard reply back, but hey give it a go!!!!
