Guest 2AussieBoys Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Hi All, well mine and my kids medicals are finalised, my husbands isn't as the system didn't seem to log them eventhough they were signed off and all by the Doctor on Tuesday. So I've literally been back and forth with the medical centre and health strategies. My head is completely melted at this point and my moronic agent was telling me to be patient - so if I'd taken the patience route I'd be sitting here none the wiser that the medicals for my husband didn't go through. I tell ya she'll be getting a strongly worded email when all this is over with (if I haven't jumped off the nearest cliff by then!). Please tell me it will be all worth it in the end??!!! Hi vmayank - I think it takes a good few days for the "met" part - it certainly has with any of my documents so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebokke Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Our Police certificates came through yesterday, so have just uploaded them. I think that's it and we're all done - now for the final wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithinoz Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Hi AussieBoys, I am curious to know how the issue on medical center able to view only 3 out of 4 applicants was resolved. In my case, something simmilar has happened - the medical center can only see myself (primary) but not the secondary applicants (wifey and 2 kids). I send my CO an email on this and he wanted me to check with Health Strategies - emailed to them and also Immi IT and now awaiting a resolution. I wish your pending police clearances are all done fast and you get the grant ! Cheers Hey, I have the same issue with the kids not showing up - do you have the contact details for Immi IT and Health Strategies please? Pleased to see you are almost there! :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illuminati Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Had my medicals done on 24.05.2012. However the clinic was not an eHealth clinic, even though on the DIAC list of panel doctors it is listed as an eHealth clinic. So the medicals will be sent by the clinic through registered mail, will have to wait some more till they reach DIAC . Anyone knows how long does the manual method of medicals takes ?

Congrats and all the best with all the arrangements etc Thanks Jars, yes super stoked! Cue a big babalas tomorrow.....!! Good luck and hope yours all goes to plan. Ps - how long did your SA birth certificate take? Just found out I need a new one with an apostille stamp on it before I can get married in a few months time! SA High Commission website is saying 6 months which is a no-go. Found these guys who will do it in less than 3 weeks... http://www.safasttrack.com/, but they charge ££££'s for the privilege. Doesn't look like I have a choice though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They originally said 6 weeks, then after 3 weeks my folks contacted them and was told no, it takes 3 months. But oh, they couldn't find any record of my request either!! After lots of pleading a kind sole in Pretoria sorted it in 3 or 4 days. If i was you I would apply now! Not sure of the safasstrack - don't think they'll be able to do much more than you would but you never know. Do you still have any relatives in South Africa? Get them to join the looooong qeues in Home Affairs and do it for you. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends how you've applied, if online it's an e-visa and no need for a stamp in the passport. You can check it on the VEVO pages, although I've had a problem with the VEVO system despite being granted visas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GenSen Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Hi all, Today I uploaded the PCC & now is the most difficult time. Needs to wait untill I receive the grant message !!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subs Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Hi Satsblr, I went with Fortis as that was near my part of town. They have a standard process, please call their reception and ask for an appointment. Doctors are not fixed and it takes about 2-3 hours for all the tests. All the best.
