Hi just to recheck ,can I cancel my private medical care after getting my Medicare card ?

I talked with my MA they said yes I can cancel and I also talked with my colleagues who got pr from my company they said yes I can cancelso I cancelled it already . Is it alright?

Hmmm.. I would still keep an private health insurance in order to prevent excess medicare levy as recommended by health fund as you would pay excess medicare if you don't have private insurance but you don't have to take expensive health insurance basic hospital cover is 76$ per month with NIB.

Just to add to this. You would only need to pay excess medicare levy if you earn over a certain amount per year. Cant remember the exact amount but its worth looking up.

Anyone managed to get the NZ police certificate sped up ? 20 working days for a police check seems stupid to me. 

Hi, if you send them an email from MA saying you have to submit in certain time and also ring them explain when you need it, they will speed up

NZ Criminal record is free. You can do it electronically in 5 minutes just by sending and receiving emails. But it takes 20 working days to process. I suggest we just do it six monthly and upload to our application.

Hi guys, 

Finally the golden email has arrived... Visa granted today. We applied may 2017...marketing specialist... nomination approved june2018... after that... a nightmare started... the case  officer said that everything was ok and just the police checks were required...so we ended with 3 diferent case oficers asking for things with no sense, already uploaded. . I think the immigration department is a mess after all the visa changes.

thanks to everyone!!! be patient!!

Unfortunately, no one would be able to tell you this. 

If it was off a document request, it could be within 35 days - based off "initial assessment" applications that have received and uploaded requested documents. 

There are people here that are waiting in "Further Assessment" for well over a year now. Would be a waiting game I'm afraid.

Alright I got a response from MA and it lines up with my reading this arvo. 

Not great news really: 

I read up that even having kids/business etc is being rejected as 'compelling circumstances' and it's pretty hard to get past. 

She suggested I give it 2 weeks and then considering if i want to apply for partner visa if haven't heard about 186 (457 expires 2nd march). 😩
 

Ah right! Yeah that makes complete sense, thank you so much for the info, it's really helpful!!

Crazy that having a child isn't considered compassionate circumstances; my partner and I have been discussing having kids, but that will put a hold on things until its resolved I think 😔

Lots of positive thoughts though, including a fresh bottle of bubbly in the fridge @Bellabonkers
