A question for those who have their visa.....

[Guest mossmac]

Hi there,

 

A question to ask people who have their visas. How long after your medicals were finalised did you get your visa? We have just received an email from Health Operations, Sydney informing us that our one last outstanding medical for our family will be finalised on Wednesday this coming week (after a lot of emails badgering them for news!). Any help/information would be really appreciated!

Hi Sarah,

We had our medicals done on 10th March 2008 and visa was granted 1st April 2008

 

Hope this helps

Hi Diane,

 

Thanks for your reply. Your visa was quite quick to be issued after your medicals so that gives us hope! I only ask as we have sold our house and are moving in with the inlaws tomorrow. Obviously don't want to outstay our welcome there so I'm hoping we will get our visa soon!

We had our medicals finalised on 30/3/08 and got our visas this week. I am sure you will get yours very soon.
