_shel Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 I was sponsored for PR after 18 months, some companies do it earlier, some dont. My PR took 6 months but 4 of that was waiting for a hospital appt as I have epilepsy. Good Luck xxx Glad it is all giong well! Sorry to completly go off topic but Jo I'm interested to hear what extra medical stuff you had to do for epilepsy? I have epilepsy, had brain surgery also and am going to apply for my Spouse Visa 309/100 soon. I know my medicals will be refered but was wondering if they will make me have more medical investigations etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_shel Posted July 25, 2009 Author Share Posted July 25, 2009 ohhh thank you. I have neuro pshycological reports I can give them done pre and post surgery. I was concerned they would want me to have bigger tests such as MMR etc which I assume would be very expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I can tell you for sure that the relevant Public Interest Criterion for a Spouse visa is PIC 4007, not PIC 4005. With PIC 4007 a waiver of the strict health requirement for migration is possible. Which makes an immense difference in a situation like yours. They might well ask for additional specialist information but the chances are high that your visa will be granted without difficulty.
