wvoor Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Hello, I'm the secondary applicant of my wife's 175 visa. I've been diagnosed with ADPKD when I was 13. Blood tests since then have shown my condition has not progressed, which means there's little chance I will develop chronic kidney disease in the future. I'm in contact with my doctor to prepare a report stating the condition, current state and long-term prognosis. I've read a lot about health requirements and I'm aware that conditions like this can cause visa refusal, even if I may never need dialysis. Still, I would like to hear from people who have applied and had ADPKD (or similar conditions), and what was the outcome. I read other threads in this forum that mention polycystic kidney disease, but the outcome was not mentioned. I appreciate any information that may help us in increasing the chances our visa application will be accepted. Thanks in advance, Cheers, Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cal2 Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 vandeep, there's still a chance, some of us have passed with transplant, so the best we can ever have is 50% as we only have one functioning kidney, Cal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvoor Posted February 19, 2012 Author Share Posted February 19, 2012 Vandeep, I just recommend you talk to your doctor and work with him to prepare a report. I should contain your history, current condition and prognosis. That's what I'm doing. I'll keep you posted of the outcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caylin Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 wvoor, what happened to your application? i have similar problem and i am afraid i would be denied a visa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvoor Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 (edited) wvoor, what happened to your application? i have similar problem and i am afraid i would be denied a visa. Hi Caylin, I eventually got the visa, but the process of obtaining the clearance from a nephrologist, added at least 2 months to the process, after the case office had been assigned. So I suggest you start this process now. In the end, the doctor was very helpful and wrote an extensive and reassuring letter regarding my condition. But he did so only after requesting and getting the results of several lab tests (e.g. creatinine, ultrasounds, etc), on which he based his report. Note that I had not seen this doctor before, so he was not 'my doctor', hence the need for new tests. In the end, given all the tests were OK, he could write a good report with 'migration specific' wording, such as "I see no reason for not granting this man his visa". Also, he mentioned he does this "all the time", for various conditions, so you might ask beforehand if the doctor you go is familiar with writing reports for these sort of cases.

TheBee Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Hi Caylin I was just wondering how your visa application went with regards to the PKD? Have you been successful. My hubby has the same and we are exploring the best way forward. Any suggestions would be helpful - thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VERYSTORMY Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 The best advice is to get specialist advice from an agent that specialises in visas with medical conditions such as George Lombard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
