jillabong Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Hi All Was just looking for some advice on medicals and pregnancy. We have come to the point were we are looking to get pregnant again, but obviously (being optimistic) don't want to delay our medicals and xrays. But on the other hand don't want to put off getting pregnant as we may then be waiting till 2012!!! -As we are only Cat 5 processing it might be quite a while before we are called to have medicals done. So was wondering if I should just go and get mine done now, and hope that they ask for them within the next year. Asked our agent but she just said obviously we might have to pay again, so no help. Was just wondering what others would do in our situation? What a dilemma!!!! Any opinions, advice or peeps in same boat? Many Thanks and Kind Regards __________________ Jill (30), Sam (34) and William (16mnths) Agent appointed: 23 March 2009 ACS Skills Assessment: 7 July 2009 Positive Skills Assessment: 7 August 2009 SA SS Applied: 15 September 2009 All paperwork received by SA: 28 September 2009 SA SS Granted: 9 November 2009 475 Visa Application Submitted: 24 November 2009 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could have had the baby by the time you are asked for medicals. Of course there is the chance that processing priorities will change before 2012, so if the finances are no concern you could have the medicals "just in case" (not what I would do). You should also bear in mind that it is possible to have xrays whilst pregnant by using a lead shield or if you don't want to do that and are asked for medicals you can just ask CO to put app on hold until the baby arrives.
