What does 'medicals finalised' mean?

[Guest mossmac]

Hi all,

 

We keep reading the term 'medicals finalised' in people's 'timelines' of their visa application. What does this actually mean as I am a little confused? Does it mean you have had the medicals and they have been sent off to Australia or does it mean that Australia has received and processed them? If it means Australia has processed them, how do you know? Any help much appreciated!

 

Jan ’07 – Decided we wanted to go and live in Australia!

Feb ’07 – Teaching skills assessment sent off.

Apr ’07 – Teaching skills approved.

May 21st ’07 – Applied for South Australia sponsorship online.

July 12th ’07 – Received sponsorship from South Australia.

July 20th ’07 – Online visa application sent off.

Oct 30th ’07 – Case officer allocated.

Nov 20th ’07 – Medicals done and police checks sent.

Feb 18th ’08 – Medical done for our new baby.

Awaiting our visa ………………………………………………..

P.S. – We did not use an agent. Did everything ourselves!

Hi Sarah, with us it was when we had sent them off and then after checking the online application loads of times it aventually said finalised. basically it means your alright and unless they've requested anything else then you have'nt long to wait. stu.
