barker Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 (edited) 7 hours ago, ManiJay said: Medical examination is valid for 6 months or 1 year ? Here is the policy statement guidance from the department about how long they will accept medical clearances. Technically it can be up to 18 months. There is some discretion by the decision maker that can be exercised. When can the validity of a health clearance be extended If the validity period of a health clearance can be extended, this can be done only for 6 months and only if: there were delays in processing the visa application for which the medical examinations were completed and these were not caused by the visa applicant, or there are compelling or compassionate reasons. Such extensions should not be given automatically. Note: The validity of a health clearance completed for a previous visa application which has already expired should not, unless compelling and compassionate circumstances exist, be extended to facilitate re-use of a previous health clearance. If an applicant has lodged a new visa application has HAP has already successfully ‘re-used’ a health clearance (completed for a previous visa), and this health clearance expires shortly after ‘re-use’ for the new pending application, officers should keep in mind that the delays in processing provision would not generally be in respect of the newly-lodged visa applications. These cases may fall under the ‘compelling or compassionate’ provision. Extensions beyond those above are not available in any circumstances and processing officers should manage this. If it appears that a health clearance is about to expire before visa grant, processing officers should organise for health examinations to be undertaken again. Where the applicant’s health clearance has expired, and no further extensions are available, applicants are required to complete medical examinations.

That’s what I thought @ManiJay, @Dons_30032017, @Dom Thanks for your response. I have checked with a friend she is immigrant agent, she told me that is for the main applicant, but for the secondary the IELTS must be valid when the CA will look at the application .... it's very strange ... but it's the rule. My partner took lot of medicine and she has been to the test last Saturday, so it should be ok. We need to do also the Health Check because we have done it too early (Aug 2016) .. it's bad because in immigration portal they request all documents asap. I have requested an extension but they answer was : Your previous health examinations have expired and you are required to undergo new health examinations. Extensions on health are assessed on a case by case basis and are only applicable in limited circumstances. no more details .... but they spend 16 months to look at our application so they are late and when we applied the expecting date was between 5 to 7 months ... Should I send an other email ? or just give up and go (btw BUPA increase by $50 the health check ...) I feel like I'm a wallet ... Thanks for your help ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For everyone who is asking me details about the massive approval rate - Coz, I know some of the ppl who applied for PR along with me and they got the approval as well. That is how - maybe I should re-pharse it and not to generalise it to everyone?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManiJay Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Another problem there is no visibility on company nomination application status. We can check the visa application but not company nomination application status. In most of the cases MA is provided by companies and they are employer focus not employee. So if the delay is from employer then we can not do anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Congratulations to you - what a great Christmas present! personally think it is encouraging to hear positive stories with all the (justified) frustration felt by so many here who have been waiting so long, so no need to delete! It is interesting though that others are being told that they are only processing until June 2017 when that clearly isnt' the case! Enjoy!

We're always happy for people to get approved but more so were happy to see some movement with approvals. The buck lies squarely with Immigrations allocation process, its a mystery to us who have been waiting so long but believe me we are all happy for you. The less people who have to go thorugh what we are going thorugh is a good thing, even if it makes no sence. Enjoy your PR, you deserve it as much as anyone does. We just hope were next. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
