HARLEYDPHIL Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Hi congratulations Maisie, and hello to everyone else.I've recently joined, but been following you all since we lodged our 143 Application 03/05/15 still a long wait for us. Hi Lorraine, Welcome to "the madhouse" :ssign7: I'm certain that we all started out sound of mind, as far as I can remember. You'll get a lot of comfort sharing your frustrations and tribulations with others who are venturing through the same process and also lots of useful and helpful insight. It really is great know you can chat with people who understand what you are doing. Sit back and enjoy the ride for now because the frustration rises closer to your date of exit from the waiting room. As I'm sure all early 2014'ers will testify. Cheers Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeelsy Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 That was a morning and a half - rain caused accident in front of us on way so late arriving. Bupa staff at Parramatta were amazing. As booked as a family with my SOH and son we were photographed, dressed in our blue scrubs in no time - my son nicked his as useful for fancy dress - and moved seamlessly around and told at every stage result of tests including chest X-ray - only outstanding result now is HIV test which they said we will know within 48 hours. So came home on a high as all good so far - very impressed Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope we hear some good news from you soon. good luck evryone Hi there Harvi13 Waiting to hear about the AOS at the moment. I'm hoping they ask for the bond quickly then it can all move along. More waiting...... maisie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeelsy Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Good news, so what goes on in the medicals????? Started with one chest x-ray then moved to have height and weight, urine tested there and then, blood pressure - told well under threshold of being a problem, HIV blood test - 48 hours for that result, then moved on to see doc who listened to chest, checked throat, ears and eyes and asked to touch toes. Doc then looked at x-ray on screen and asked few questions about med history and said all good. Apparently if any prob with HIV test will hear by 48 hours or if not then no prob. I have just been on emedical where referral letter was downloaded from and it says medicals complete and other two waiting. Very relaxed and no where near as scary as I imagined Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve2 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Thanks for the update, both getting worried ahead of ours tomorrow. Morning Good luck tomorrow, are you going to Brentwood? If you have any existing conditions that are causing you worry take a look at that link I put on yesterday, it will prepare you. Let us know how they treat you and what happened.

Cheers Steve Hi Steve, no we are off to Birmingham, we didn't see a Brentwood option on the link our MA sent us. No, no conditions that we know off, just I guess its been such a long wait, and it's pretty much the final hurdle, the old grey matter kicks into 'what if mode' if you know what I mean! Cheers for the message. Steely Edited March 21, 2016 by AlanSteel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck again To be fair to our MA, it may be there, just I didn't see it, as was expecting Birmingham after speaking to others. so chose it, not too bad, only a couple of hours away, and a day out after!

Fisher1 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Not as scary as we thought when it came to it. We each have a little list of odd complaints that we were worried about but it was all fine. The doc raised a question about the summary of cancer treatment in 1985 - did we know it was probably the only copy in existence after all this time? No problems and we passed. Try not to worry too much and good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catlady2014 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 My daughter in Australia heard on the radio that border and immigration staff are striking over Easter. Didn't they strike same time last year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
