Lauram1 Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Hi, Sorry if there are any other recent posts with a similar subject (I can only find ones from back in 2018). I am currently in Australia, going from a 482 to a 190 visa, and need to have a medical. As part of my medical, I need a chest x-ray. I'm aware as I'm pregnant I can postpone this part until after the baby is born, but my question is will this affect the processing of the visa? ie will immigration not look at our application until I have had the chest x-ray? I can't find any information online about if/how postponing affects processing? I am a radiographer so am fully aware the risks to my unborn child when having a chest x-ray are extremely low (as they will provide a lead skirt to wear around my abdomen), but if it doesn't change the processing time I, of course, would rather wait 5 months and have zero risk to my baby. Any help would be greatly appreicated. Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrussell Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 In the circumstances you have described, immigration will defer processing until your medical is completed. As a radiographer you should not need me to tell you that there is no safe dose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
