And the tale grows....!!! Have just been reading other forums for info and found this for anyone waiting:

 

Following a telephone conversation I had yesterday with someone quite senior in the Department I understand the LCU has been focussing on medicals for student visas in the last few weeks.

 

Meds for these visas should now be substantially dealt with, so expect the timeline for the processing of medicals for other visa categories to start shortening over the coming weeks.

 

Hopefully this a good news for a couple of us....hope so anyway!

Im just thawing through now.

hi,

both me and my partner were overweight (several stones)when we went for medicals and it wasn't a problem. High blood pressure can cost a fortune in cardiologist reports though!! so try not to worry!!
