Guest LisaW Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 ...to cut a long story short: We lodged our 175 (CSL) visa on 01/02/10 (just ahead of the MODL announcement - phew!), and I duly sat back and waited, thinking it was going to take a while for anything to happen. We applied (via our agent) for WA State Sponsorship on 30/11/09 and I had a "funny feeling" on Monday that I'd get an email from her to say we'd got SS and could now got to a 176 and be pushed up the priority ladder - WRONG!!! Got an email (as predicted) from our agent saying we needed to provide some employment references, penal clearances and get medicals booked. We've got a Case Officer!!! :eek: I'm still in a state of shock! Has this happened to anyone else recently? Our agent thinks it's due to the the skills we've applied under (OH is a Computer Professional - Datawarehouse specialist). Our in-laws have just had their contributory parent visa granted so we wondered if the two had somehow been linked. Anyway, a question for anyone who's had medicals with existing conditions to take into consideration - how long does it typically take for a medical consultant to prepare a specialist report? We are having our medicals on 01/04 (booked yesterday) - I've just sent a letter to a hospital consultant asking for a specialist report and am hoping in can be turned around in less than 2 weeks :unsure: Lisa (Still in shock!)

Guest sunnyday Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Hi Lisa, congrats on CO!! It took us about 6 weeks to get sons report I think, I'd just phone and explain when you need it by and they should sort it for you!! I know if you have an existing medical condition they like to have seen you relatively recently and have there "findings" in the report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cartertucker Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Great news....Congrats on the case officer Wishing you good luck for a speedy grant....:yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cazhoney Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Hi Lisa, it looks like they don´t have too much cases falling into category 3...LOL I have seen a lot of Category 5 visas being issued, and deduced that they are finishing all the other categories. But since it´s priority, anyone who falls in categories 1-4 will have their visas processed very fast. Congratulations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ali Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 My sons consultant did it within a week (I did work at the hospital and picked it up myself), he was also still under the consultants care so I don't know if this made it easier administratively with the records being readily available. For myself, I contacted my GP and got copies of letters sent by my consultants to the GP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest juliemtaylor Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 I had this dilemma with meds, so I went to a private clinic and paid for a report from a specialist (£250) and it got sent with my meds to Oz and referred to MOC and passed 10 days after referral.
