VERYSTORMY 3,397 Posted June 11, 2019 Where there kana medical complication to a visa, it is always worth running past a specialist migration agent such as George Lombard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Millielister 0 Posted June 12, 2019 Thanks for your advice just wanting to speak to someone if they have been accepted? Seems no one has so far from my research... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agents like George would be far better placed to know if anyone has been accepted as they have access to far more data than just the minute number of people on this forum.

GiveAGirlShoes 46 Posted June 12, 2019 My partner's consultant wants to start him on Infliximab, we were getting ready to apply for PR next year. It's an extremely expensive medication and the government subsidises it at a hefty price to them.It has the potential to cause huge problems with visa refusal so an agent is a must, as others have said. Travelled to Australia Holiday and WHV. Quit job to retrain at Uni as a Podiatrist 25/09/2013. On my journey to applying for 189 in 2016 (if they've not changed again by then lol) If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said that it'd be easy, they just promised it would be worth it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GiveAGirlShoes 46 Posted June 12, 2019 And to add to your other question, I've spoken to a chap who was refused a PR visa for Infliximab. He had an agent who could have tried for a medical waiver, but he chose not to pursue it due to cost and uncertainty... It was, for him, an option though. Travelled to Australia Holiday and WHV.
