My meds have been referred and I don't even know why???

Don't worry. If you don't have a serious medical condition, it will get finalized in 3 working days.

Hi Natalie, thats torture. My doctor told me there was small mistake uploading, he said if meds get referred dont worrie they will soon get sorted. This never happened, but maybe its the reason yours are having problem. Good luck hun, when you get visa you will most definately will have earned it.

And to top it off my agent got an email this morning from my cass officer saying that Noah is now on the e-health system but his arrived in Sydney by courier on Monday. God knows when that'll get looked at. Maybe by the end of the year!!!!

 

Sorry for the depressing post. This is all starting to get me down now

Thanks everyone. I do sometimes need that kick in the bum to remind myself about how far we've got when at one point we didn't even know if we could get a visa.

 

Hopefully it won't be long now. On the plus side - at least they've looked at my medicals!

Hi Natalie, just before we found out this morning, I told my husband that I am gonna sit back and not worry about how long the medicals are going to take as it won't affect the time when we can go. We are planning to go around the end of the year so whether the meds and granting take 2 days or 2 months, it didn't matter. I felt a huge relieve after that and whallaaaaa, it's all through!. Concentrate on the getting there process, mate!

Hiya,

 

Did you declare anything at all on your medical? If you did then it's likely it'll just be referred for 2 or 3 days.

 

I know it's frustrating but hang in there xx

I'm just not sure what it could be. My BMI is over 30 but under 40. I don't have a blood pressure problem, diabetes or anything else associated with weight. When I was younger I had 8 ops for grommets (the last one in 1996 so haven't been under consultant care since then!). I was also diagnosed with endometriosis in 2004 but never had any treatment as there isn't really any except pain relief so haven't been under consultant care since.

I did declare all this on my form so all I can assume is that it's because of one of these issues.

 

Hopefully they won't keep me waiting too long.

 

Natalie

 

P.S. Have you heard from your CO or agent yet about your tax returns?

Hiya,

 

Did you declare those things on the form? The doctor that did our meds told me that if anything is declared on the form that isnt on a list they get given then it has to be referred. I only have a blood clotting disorder called factor v leiden, only found out as it's a test for recurrent miscarriage but never had any treatment for it or any probs. She said it just gets sent to a different office, I'm sure they will be finalised in 2 or 3 days like most people.

 

I nagged her several times & to be fair she did end up staying late to upload them in the end. I still dont get it though as I had to break one of the docs into 4 parts in the end as it wouldn't upload she said but the other uploaded ok even though it was the same amount of pages all in one doc. Oh well just got to hope it's all OK and we get our visa approved soon. I wonder how long it will take to either get approved or request more info! We want to book our validation flights in 2 weeks so really hope we get our visa's before then.

 

One day we'll look back on this and laugh with a glass of wine in our hands on the beach

I answer to most things so I don't mind what you call me!!! lol

 

I did declare them on the form so hopefully it won't be too much of a problem. Loads of people have had grommets so maybe it's the endometriosis that caused the red flag to be raised.

 

I hope you hear something soon. We will definitely deserve this when it eventually happens!
