trace1 Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 I have just lodged my 457 visa...am slightly confused as when checking progress of my visa it states Application received processing commenced Application fee received Health requirements outstanding and lists my medical checks xrays blood tests etc It has a heading which you can click on to complete a health form just for myself but not for dependants on visa I have filled out the form and it has given me a referral letter to take with me for my medical Ok...if it says medicals, xrays etc outstanding or required does that mean I can book them now or do I have to wait to be officially asked to do so? I assume that I also book appts for my dependants although there was no form to fill out for them...I am sure they only need the medical but it does not list what is needed...it does not state that I have been allocated a C/O yet...does it normally let you know or does processing commenced mean I have one already? It states that you have to take forms A160EH and 26EH with you and yet I do not seem able to locate them on my application...is this because I should only book medicals once properly requested and the forms will magically appear or am I being daft and just cant find them? soooooo confusing lol Oh and arent medicals just soooooo expensive :arghh: Any help greatly appreciated Trace Partners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieAussieAussie Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Hi Trace! Your right, the meds are not cheap! but Its a small price to pay to get you where you want to be! Keep that in mind, thats what we did otherwise you will drive yourself mental! :confused: Some people 'frontload' the Health requirements before the CO has even been assigned, we just waited for the Case Officer to be assigned and then he emailed us immediately (we have not used an agent), he attached the 160 & 26 documents along with a few other documents and clearly stated what we should do next. If you feel confused I would wait until your CO has been assigned, at least then you will be advised correctly on what to do. I would imagine that all applicants that are migrating have to be assessed so yes that would mean your dependants too. We recently had our meds and its very straightforward. We had ours in Manchester and our costs was £510 in total for the both of us (only me and OH) Nat x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
