GaryandGillDublin Posted April 11, 2011 Author Share Posted April 11, 2011 Its been a waiting game for a long time for us. We applied back in 2009 then got stuck with all the changes. When we finally got CO we had a mad rush as i had just had another baby and had to add him to visa. He was added 5 days before medicals. So then i thought sit back relax we will have our visa in a week or two. How wrong could i be. Im thinking of taking a chance and ringing them tonight even though agent has said they wont tell me anything as he is the point of contact. But i think i will give it ago anyway as they dont seem to be responding to his emails. We are team 6 what teams is yours. Was gonna ring them myself this morning but thought I'd wait 'cos usually the CO has got back really quickly. Maybe she was off today :wink: Emailed who I think is the MOC but who knows ha ha. We are Team 4 .. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will happen but I know (I'm with you) that the waiting is hellish. Our Dr when we had our meds said she wouldn't send anything off if our results weren't right i.e. she'd tell us if there was something medically wrong with us before she told the DIAC. I'd take heart from that and not worry about the meds - I think your just stuck in a queue of paper with me and the others. My CO is Team 4 too. You know what I reckon? I reckon she's been on holiday! Back today and is working through her backlog of frustrated applicants! This week is our week GGD - I can feel it :smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a reply from a lovely lady in HOC / health strategies, to say they were looking into what's happening with our meds. Heard nothing from agent, CO or clinic where meds were done on 18.03.11. How about yourself, any news? x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried ringing last night but could not get through. Hey, On the 2nd page of the online tracker, where it says medicals requested, when you click on radiologist request or medicals (think it's in blue writing) another page appears and this email address comes up - health.strategies@immi.gov.au. Wasn't sure who or where I was emailing but thought it was worth a try. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wish they would reply and at least tell us if they have received them. My husband and 3 of the kids all say finalised and met. Mine and 1 child still say requested on front page and outstanding on other. Going to email using above see if i get any response. Thankyou.

When I click on it, another page appears like it's trying to access the results but then just gives a msg and that email address. I'm sick of it too. I don't know what will annoy me more, if there is something medically wrong with us or if the medicals have been lost and we're not been told about it. It's ridiculous. Keep me posted. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep me informed if you hear anything. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Gill, thanks very much. I checked online last night before going to bed and it hadn't changed since they finalised the meds. (24th or 25th of March) net was down this morning when i got up so i couldn't check. Once i read the mail, this evening, i checked online and the status was changed to 'e-mail sent to you' So it was nerve-racking, since then, we heard nothing and just tried to wait it out. Hopefully it won't long for you now. Harry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LucyOlly Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Well....Blimey! This thread is full of excitement, news and angst! Thank god I found it (thanks Ammosaph) as I have also been checking online status every few hours (and through the nght!) - even though we only did our meds last week! My blackberry has become my new sleeping partner....so to speak!!! Would it be possible, where people have given a time line in their signature, to include whether they did meds by eHealth or paper? It would be interesting to build a profile of the time difference between these methods. I thought we were up for eHealth until we got to the clinic! So we became paper and there seems to even be a lot of difference when they are finalised too. Congrats to those who have received your visas! Hope some of you with growing nervous twitches and sleep depravity get some news tomorrow! :hug: Lucy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why we're panicking :swoon: Hopefully, we hear soon. Will keep ya posted. Congrats again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest scubabud Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I've been like that since my meds were finalised in February checking at every opportunity and still the same ...... no change, our agent emailed CO last week also and still no reply. I feel as though my life has been on hold for the last few years, lets just hope that we all receive our visa very soon before we all go insane.

GaryandGillDublin Posted April 13, 2011 Author Share Posted April 13, 2011 Update as follows; :biggrin: Spoke with the Mater Clinic this afternoon - were we had the meds. There seems to have been some form of error in regard to the uploading of our bloods/results, causing concern with MOC. When the Mater tried to rectify the problem they could not access the system. They seemingly tried to contact Global Health who in turn tried to contact them and a delay in communication occured. Global Health eventually have made contact with the Mater requesting the assessing doctor to 'sign off' on the error in order for the meds to be finalised .. This is due to happen this evening (our time) and I was assured that medically everything was fine and that no other tests were required. So feel a little bit better and hopefully we will hear something soon :smile: x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better keep to the kalms again tonight then as no doubt you'll need 'em! Your telling me :mad: I'd convinced myself I had some strange illness that I knew nothing about - my agent refers to it as madness!!:cute: Ah well my persistence has hopefully paid off .. Yes the Kalms will be popped again tonight definitely. Think I'll slip the OH some too. He didn't sleep last night. One sleeps, the other doesn't. This VISA business certainly takes over :goofy: x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
