Guest NatsB Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Thanks Jaffas1. Have already replied to our CO and he confirmed he had enclosed attachments (although no mention of resending with the reply). He must be on his weekend now which is very frustrating! So either our CO messed up or it didn't get through to us, the reason I can only speculate on. We received blank med forms in pdf format from our CO before and they got through fine. Can you tell me if the docs you received were large? Were they zipped? Just trying to eliminate all possibilities, but probably down to our CO forgetting - but then why would he not resend, doesn't make sense! I have a yahoo email address and have no probs receiving stuff usually. Thanks We had 5 small PDF attachments on our email - literally just scanned copies of letters, vary from 100KB to 115KB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wanderdownunder Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 We had 5 small PDF attachments on our email - literally just scanned copies of letters, vary from 100KB to 115KB Nothing in size then, I can only assume our CO forgot to attach. He was probably already thinking of his sunny weekend! Don't think I will believe it until I see the actual letter confirming the grant... :wacko: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He never had problems with his x-ray's before. ( Contact the clinic that did your meds and ask if there was problem? It could be that they were not happy with the quality of the X-ray? I know from a friend of mine (she is a vet, so she should know what she is talking about) that sometimes TB vaccinations a can cause mild scarring on the lungs. Even if he had TB, it would be a case of treating it, not automatic rejection. Hope you can get it all resolved quickly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest keisha Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I'm going to the clinic tomorrow and ask them. When we did our medicals, they said they would call us if something was wrong. If not, they would send the results directly. They never called, so I assumed that everything was ok. Congrats NatsB on your visa grant :wink: Contact the clinic that did your meds and ask if there was problem? It could be that they were not happy with the quality of the X-ray?
