nadini777 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Hi all, I submitted my partner visa in December. Thought it would be useful to open this thread so that we can see each other's progress. I've completed my medical but the site has not been updated yet. Please update this thread when you get an update, I will do the same. Cheers!

Hi, lodged ours 30th December, Can i ask why have you already done your meds so early? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nadini777 Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 Hi. I got a link on the immi account that requested me to do so. It appeared once I submitted the documents. Let me know if you need more information Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronyaur Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Hi, yes i got the same, but its always there, My sister moved to Australia last year and thought she had to do the same thing. However we are supposed to wait for our CO to request the meds and police check. The visa entry point starts from the meds and police check and is valud for 12 months and only. So if you do the meds too early it may mean you have to do them again if your visa isnt granted in time. Apparently doubg them early will not speed up the visa grant date. Waiting times are not guaranteed to the what is advertised. Im not trying to worry you, but am just speaking from experience. Usually the CO asks to have meds/ police check done 4 months after lodgement. Having said that im keen toget things moving. regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nadini777 Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 Hi. Thanks so much for letting me know, I didn't know that. I hope I don't have to do it again as it wasn't fun:( Fingers crossed - I get assigned a CO and don't need to redo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronyaur Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Its not your fault, The website should give us more info on what to do. Did you say you havent been contacted by a case officer yet? what date did you apply? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nadini777 Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 Hi. No - I haven't been assigned a CO yet. I submitted on the 31st of December so just few days only. Have you got your CO yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronyaur Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Same as us then, just before the price increase. No have had no email yet, but its over Christmas nothing will probably happen till Everyones back at work. How did you manage to go for meds so quick? You probably wont see anything onyour account just yet, need to give them time to upload results. keep in touch and lets share our progress.

nadini777 Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 Yeah, nothing updated on medical. My guess is it will take at least another 2 weeks before everyone's at work. Will definitely update once I'm assigned a CO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nadini777 Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 My medical had a blood test (definitely not fun), urine test, x-ray and physical examination. I don't particularly love getting my blood drawn. Not sure if the medical changes from country to country though (i.e where you submit from) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vickyplum Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Hi - I had the 309/100 medical late in 2013. The things that were covered are: pee in a bottle for blood sugar test my height measured my weight measure my eyes tested (reading the small letters etc) my eyes, mouth and ears looked into my BP taken my blood taken my chest and back listened to some general prodding around - nothing bad but I have no idea what it was for! reflexes tested chest x-ray done (this is to check for TB I believe). I also had something extra done - can't remember what - I think it was extra blood screening because I have got a couple of tattoos. It's natural to be worried about these things, but it's not a big deal. It's over and done with pretty quickly, and once they have relieved you of your hard earned cash, you can carry on with the rest of your day!

nadini777 Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 Hi all, Thought I will update on the status. Like I said before, I did my medical (prior to a CO being assigned) and the site has got updated that the medical is finalized. I do realize that I may need to do it again but just wanted to keep you all informed. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nadini777 Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 Any update anyone? I was asked to submit my original police clearance to the High Commission but didn't hear anything after that. Would anyone know where spouse visa is processed? In Australia or off-shore (where the applicant is residing)? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lebourvellec Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 http://www.pomsinoz.com/forum/migration-issues/58449-summary-spouse-visa-processing-times-offshore-uk-please-add-your-stats.html there is a thread running already for Partner visa applications. partner applications are now taking 10-14 months to process, with increased costs on 1 jan and rush to get application submitted I imagine it could be greater than 10 months. CO have been requesting people to go their medicals 3 months after lodging applications so they have not expired before granting, so people have time to make first entry to validate the visas, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nadini777 Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 I will post on that thread. Thank you lebourvellec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronyaur Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Hi, We did the 309 by ourselves, Once youve absorbed what needs to be done and with a little help from folk on here, the app went smoothly. We got everything together for scanning and had a CO in 3 weeks asking for us to book meds at end of May. It wasnt as daunting as we had thought and we saved a wad not using an agent.
