Medical problem

[Gunn]

Hi everyone I applied for chef through direct entry 187 in October 2016.all the documents were submitted including medical. My husband got protein in urine at that time. I’m working with same company from last 6 and half years. Is this medical  problem can affect my visa. If yes what next we can do my IELTS was expired last year in August.any suggestions friends.

thanks in advance

Medicals generally last 12 months + a discretionary amount of time (up to 6 months further, if you meet certain criteria and that is up to the processing case officer). 

Generally if you aren't what we call "A grade" on your medical, you may be required to undertake further health examinations. Proteinuria can occur for a variety of reasons, some of which may be transient. What I would do is have my GP do another dipstick and see if the problem still exists. Being well hydrated can help with these problems. If your urine is dilute, this can potentially solve the problem, especially since the dipsticks are very crude and use a reagent based method of testing for protein. 

Were you referred to a nephrologist? (kidney specialist)

As always, if in doubt consult a migration agent for advice specific to your situation.  

Here is the advice the department gives medical officers:

Hi Friends,

As requested by immi we had gone through medical and me and my wife’s medical were cleared but my son’s has been deferred due to be further assessment. We received a reference letter from BVMS that i have to see a specialist who is a Paediatrics or clinical psycologist assesseing child’s “Cognitive development”. My son is 3 and half years old. The main issue they found is that my son is not speaking in full sentence while he is talking but in a broken words he responses. He is also able to understand the command, act and eye contact and emotions etc.

as a parents we don’t feel having any problem at all. 

Now my question is if we go through the nominated specialist, would we be able to over come the visa situation? Or will be hang around ? What could be the outcome?

please help !

Parents don't always realise if their child has a bit of a delay in their language development because they know them so well and they are used to the way their child speaks. I'm wondering if your son goes to nursery school, and if so, what they make of it? I'd be checking his hearing as well. Was he intimidated by the unfamiliar situation or did he respond in his usual way? Try not to worry too much, many kids have language delays of one kind and another and they can usually be sorted out with a bit of extra help.

You're really not going to know until you have the assessments done.  As Fisher1 has said, parents often dont realise that a child has a cognitive impairment because they grow with them and get used to what they say and do and you are probably helping him a lot.  

The assessment will be quite objective and will gauge your son against other children of the same age and the skills they should have achieved by that age.  Sometimes the delay may be remedied by intervention from special ed, therapists etc but sometimes the "delay" just continues and the child doesnt make progress at the same rate as other children. This will all be discussed with you at assessment.

The extent of any impairment and the need for intervention will only be revealed once you've had the assessments and, depending on the outcome, at that point you would be wise to discuss the matter with one of the agents who specialise in visas for people with medical conditions.  They will be able to tell you if your son's development is likely to cause concern with respect to the granting of a visa. The agents who are usually recommended are George Lombard, Peter Bollard and Richard Gregan - you can google them.  The issue will be what the specialist finds by way of need for intervention.  Immigration make judgments based on how much any intervention is likely to cost the Australian tax payer - if it is over a particular threshold then visas are declined.

For kids, there is a bit of a catch 22 situation - if a child gets a visa, the chances are that they will not be eligible for any disability support in schools.  Kids who qualify for disability support aren't likely to get visas because it is an expensive supplement to mainstream schooling.

Thanks for information.

yes my son going to 3 yrs kinda. He is doing good at school actully. He likes to be there. He responses in a way as he does to us at home. Teacher has no issue about him. My mom said to me that i even started my speak after 4. My brother as well. All after 4. I guess it could be genetical connection or consistency.

Good information. Thank you for spending your time to make a conment on it.

Tomorrow see the doctor, lets see what happens. Hope everything would be ok and normal

Hi Fisher 1,

I went to see a clinical psycologist about my son’s issue. With the initial assessment he understood that it is because of language delay. Also genetical matter exist as me also started talking after 4 as my mom said to me. 

So 1 Auguest i will recieve the final report from the clinical psycologist. In the mean time we have been training my son and he is getting better and better. My point of view is we did not pay enough attention to our child which leads to under development. It was my fault in deed.

Now finger cross for 1Auguest.

God help me !

All 3 of my children were late with talking and all 3 turned out perfectly normal. Some children are late starters. I’m surprised it was even referred with your child being such a young age. Good luck for the 1st August, please let us know how you go.

Hi, sorry only just seen this, Ive been off the net for a few days. I'm glad you're getting it sorted, sure it will be fine ... and I wouldn't be too hard on yourself ... some kids just take longer. I was an early years teacher for a long time and had lots of kids with language development issues - can't remember any that didnt  catch up with help.

My son has started talking now though he hasn’t been fluent yet but can communicate with us at his needs. He is doing what he never done this before. Overall it looks good progress for him. Now he is enrolled to a child care where he spends 10hours a day. 

For doctor assessment, still hasn’t received the final report which we have been waiting for.

as long as i receive it i will update here.

keep my son in your prayer dears all

Thank you so much everyone who help and support in my needs.

i have received the report for my son from the climical psycologist today. In his report he described son’s language delay with no other issue exist and need extensive speech therapy immediately. And i forward it to The MOC already.

Is there any significance delay in visa process to be happened.?

Regards,

If you have access to extensive speech therapy before you leave I’d take advantage of that because it’s not likely that your lad will get “extensive” support when he arrives - early intervention is very much state specific and often very patchy. You will probably be better paying for private ST services.

As you know Medicare allows you to have free up to 5 sessions with speech therapy in a year  and I have to pay the additional sessions from 6th session in a year. Though it depends on considering the fact that how my son goes with the language progress. And the therapist will monitor and assess based on my son’s condition. I will have to pay out of my pocket and I don’t bother for it.

Good things is my son’s progress look good. I was really worried for last 2 months.

Good luck with it all, but don't expect instant progress … these things take time. Hope it all goes well for you from here on.
