VISA 482 - Received Form 884: Opinion of MOC

[Laam]

I am in the process of getting a 4-year 482 visa and would like to see if anyone has similar experience and provide some guidance.

I have a congenital heart condition, which I do not require any medication, surgery (as I wouldn’t benefit from that), so what I have been doing is only visiting the doctor at a government hospital twice a year, and usually there isn’t much to check, in the past 10 years I might have only did 2 times echocardiography and 10 times resting ECG, 8 times 5 mins walking exercise to measure my SpO2 level. Other time is just updating the doctor if I think my condition has changed.  Which tbh nothing has changed really.

So, I went to medical checks about 2 weeks ago, provided the relevant Dr letters I have to the practitioner at the clinic, the letters were a bit old (latest one was 2006), the immigration department has come back 2 days later and ask for a recent report and additional information. So I went back to the same clinic, booked a cardiologist to provide more information.

At this stage, I have done whatever I can, and I was told by the agent (who helps me with this visa application) that usually this will takes 2-3 months for MOC to process...

From my perspective my case wouldn’t incur a lot of medical cost, but I dont know if the MOC would think the same way.  I just worry that after all the waiting I get a respond saying I do not meet the health requirement..... and whether I should start looking for a job locally...

 

Thanks

I have a heart condition controlled by a pacemaker but ive had it controlled for 9yrs now and stable for 8yrs, the key is that your condition is stable I believe and that it won't cost the government over a certain amount of $, there is a specific figure I'm not sure on the exact amount I think it's around $40k over 3 yrs or something.

Thanks for your reply - did you apply for a visa after you have a heart condition?

Yes 8yrs after diagnosis and pacemaker insertion, we got approved within 8mths

Hi Laam,

 

Is there any possibility you can forward me the Form 884, I got the same request but the case officer did not attach that form 884 with the request. I just want to fill this form and send back to the case officer, rather than asking again to send me.

 

Please let me know

Or if anybody else has this form, can anybody forward me

Please.

Hi Umair,

 

The form 884 is not a form for you to fill in and return, it is more like a letter on what you need to do. 

Here’s an example of this letter that I found on google, mine looks pretty similar to this and they asked for more infomation of my condition.  You should receive an email from Immigration Department with this letter attached.

It is requested for my 5 months old daughter, and BUPA is not doing any medicals for under 6 months olds. May be i contact with case officer if she can advise what to do.
