Gazbad Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Did my medical today at Spires Manchester. I know I'm early but I'm going on a long holiday with the future missus so I need it all in place. Slight complication with my heart murmur. They were absolutely fabulous! I managed an electrocardiogram and a echocardiogram and a consultation with a cardiologist all in the same day! Really can't recommend them enough. The office manager was amazing at organising it all and fitting me in to full schedules. And the girls on reception at radiology are nuts but funny. Made it so stress free I actually faked a heart attack as I was leaving just to see the shock then the smiles. Anyone who's got a choice near Manchester really can't go wrong. I just don't know how to say thanks enough!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't know how to say thanks enough!!! Hmmmm.....perhaps I should try them, what with my dodgy ticker too! Was going to go to Maidenhead. But having spent a few hours in A&E again last night I think I'm best leaving it for now (most expensive night out I've had for a long time - aren't taxi's dear!?!?)

MrsL Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Hi all, I've not been on here for a while. Have honestly found it much easier to just avoid seeing what is happening for the last 10 months and just have faith that it'll happen when it is meant to! I applied 16th August last year, have been away from my husband for a total of 7 months since then. Not exactly what we expected as we only got married in March last year, but I managed to have an adventure in New Zealand, and we got to spend our wedding anniversary together so it's not all doom and gloom. I contacted my CO in April to try to get a more accurate timeframe than the 10-14 months given initially as my father in law was diagnosed with cancer while I was away and that obviously made it much tougher being away from my husband and family over here. CO told me I would have my visa 'by July' so I've been back in Aus on a tourist visa waiting for my depart for grant notification... it seems like there have been a few August applications go through so hopefully mine comes through soon, though as it stands I'm still somewhere in line... that said it's still not July yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcml Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 What is the " evidence of family composition"? Says may include certified copies of your family register or family tree" Do u just upload birth certificates here or do they want me to draw a family tree??! We just ignored that one!

Nemesis Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Jen kids don't need Medicals I don't think unless they are over 18, I am taking mine to doctors and dentist before we make the move save costs on other side Sorry, but unless the children are Australian citizens they will need a medical; there are some differences like younger ones not needing an xray (unless its changed recently), but every child on the visa application will need a medical https://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/health-requirements/arranging-health-exam.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bound4Tassie Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Sorry Jen thought with being kids wouldn't have too, suppose aim thinking with mine as they are going under me, so would be classed as Aussies, as they aren't on the visa x We're waiting for our girls' citizenship by descent to come through. Feels like it is taking forever!! Thought it was quite straightforward. Dad Aussie ...check! Children entitled... Check....Here's your citizenship, have a nice day!

Jen NT Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Hi Bound4Tassie when we applied for citizenship by descent for the kids it took just over a month till we got the certificates so hopefully you will get yours soon. We've just applied for the passports last week all went well and had an email today saying they have been processed and should be with us soon... Now all we need is the visa to be granted board of waiting now..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussiegirl Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Thats good jen did you have to go for an interview for them, you probably have said Hi Bound4Tassie when we applied for citizenship by descent for the kids it took just over a month till we got the certificates so hopefully you will get yours soon.

Jen NT Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Hi Aussiegirl my husband went up to London as he is the aussie but said he just had to wait for his appointment and stood at the counter while they went through the forms and asked for various documents ie birth certificates, citizenship by descent certificates our marriage certificate etc.... and was done in half hour and that was for 3 kids passports and to renew his own... just make sure you have everything with you and you have filled out the forms all should be fine..... Hubby said there were others there while he was waiting who didnt have the forms signed or any photos done and were causing all sorts of probs and were still trying to get there passports after he left....

Aussiegirl Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Thanks Jen NT will do for sure, so the kids don't have to go with you , hope not as a long trip to London for me with them in tow lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussiegirl Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 The Aussies returning did you have to do a resident return form, or will my Aussie passport be just as good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen NT Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Hay Aussiegirl no you dont need to take the kids with you infact when we booked the appointment they requested not to bring them which was good as hubby went up on his motorbike and its a 3h journey for us and it made it easier for him on the motorway...
