How long for medicals to be marked as finalised?

Recommended Posts

For a paperbase application, how do we know it's finalized?Other than talking to CO.

 

Hi AlexanderZ, just to share with you my case.

 

My meds were delivered to Sydney on Jan 21, 2011.

On 24/1/11(today), my status changed to

 

24/1/2011 Health requirements finalized

24/1/2011 Further medical results received.....

 

Finalized means everything is ok. Immediately after i've sent my Police Check (24/1) today & received by my CO, i got my 176 VISA! Everything (meds & Police & Visa Grant) received & approved within 1 day! (one afternoon, in fact!)

 

Hope my info helps. Cheers!

Same here... Just checked the online status and there is absolutely no change. It is almost 3 weeks now. Don't know what is taking that long. They are clearing the medicals that have reached them well after mine. Just hoping they do it quickly, waiting my visa !!!

 

Have you tried to contact HOC?

No I haven't. Does anyone tried calling them ? If anyone knows the number, it will be appreciated.

You can email them from here:

Health Operations Centre Feedback Form

 

I did it yesterday and today got response:

"Thank you for your email. Please be advised that your health assessment has

been finalised.

 

Please contact your allocated case officer for further information."

 

Looks like CO updates statuses in E-System manually because I still see status of my medical as "received".... Now I'm going to send a email to CO....

Thanks.. I too contacted them just today and received their response. They say that my medicals were referred way after 6th Jan although my online status shows 6th ! Anyway, the girl was kind enough to let me know that she moved my file up for priority processing. Hopefully, all will go well now.

Hi Macklon

 

I sent it to Health.Operations.Centre@immi.gov.au They reply quite quckly excepting that tomorrow is a holiday so you will have to wait for a day. I just wrote that my online status changed to referred on 6th Jan. However since then, there has been no change and I would like an update on the status of my medicals.

 

Good luck !!

Hi Macklon,

 

Since against the 1st and 3rd Applicant, it is mentioned finalized, it is completed. However, the 2nd Applicant is still showing outstanding. Write them a mail. IMO, if it is received by them it should be either referred or finalized or just received. Since you are writing a mail, ask the status of all applicants.

Hi Macklon,

 

My 'Health Requirements' has also just changed to 'Finalized' dated 26th Jan. All others are still showing referred. It means all is finalized as per the Health Requirements.

Yes, or they have a system where it updates during the night once the information is fed in because mine changed before 8.30 AM Aussie time (I checked the status around this time).

CONGRATULATIONS to Mackdmello and Born2learn wow what a great feeling... my OH has been finalised since 27th Jan (and that was only cos I sent an email to HOC as our meds were posted 12th Jan and we'd heard nothing) me well 'referred' so no idea how long we'll have to wait to be able to start celebrating.

 

Best Wishes to a great New Life Down Under

Hi

We had our medicals done in manchester on 14/01/2011(2 adults & 2 children.We had ours uploaded by the doctor.He sent the childrens the same day & showed as received on 15/01/2011 then finalised on 17/01/2011.Mine & the OH were referred on 20/01/2011 then finalised on 24/01/2011.We both had a slight health issue,but nothing serious so 10 days from start to finish wasn't bad.

Hope this helps,and good luck

Hi Paul

Thank you so much you've really put my mind at rest, fingers crossed won't be too much longer and hopefully you should get tour visa any day now if everything else is met and finalised.

 

Good Luck

Hi,

 

We did our Meds on 30.01.2011 and after all routine checking the Doctor told everything is ok for us (2 adults and 2 kids) except a "lipoma" ( not a problematic one) shown on under arm of my wife. Doctor told that usually "lipoma" is an insignificant one but he suggested better to remove it and send the meds. We decided to remove that next day my wife undergone a surgery to remove it. After waiting 1 more week, All our Meds were sent Sydney on 8th Feb.

 

When I contacted the Doctor for Tracking No. she told that there is a small comment made by Radiologist in my chest Xray which seems not an issue. I asked again, for double confirmation any further checking needs am ready, but she says it is not a significant issue. Very unlikely they will ask for additional checks.... She also said I do not have any symptoms of TB or other diseases....

 

Anyways..... fingers crossed!!

 

We sent our first Medicals during Sep 2009 which was finalised on 23.09.09. So my previous history is already there.... Hope everything will be fine...

 

Sat
