clan mac Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Gaz, this must be it - no in fact it is, YOU will have a CO who will have emailed your agent. That's how we found out last Monday. Please contact your agent, we are all sitting on pins waiting to see your name go amber. Looking forward to your good news post! Good luck to all waiting Lola x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest snowy10 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 looked at our account on diac today. It says, 21/02/11 email sent. Trying not to get excited but wonder what they want It must mean that you have a case officer, unless it's Santa Claus e-mailing you. You probably had one when you phoned the other night but someone gave you "duff gen" You never know Gaz, you front loaded your meds and PCs so you may miss the amber phase altogether!!! On another note, I booked our medicals today and they asked if I wanted the medicals to be sent to Sydney or London? I thought they would have to go to Adelaide as that's who processing our visa. Can anyone shed any light on this?? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only know this because I have just completed our e health forms and it says somewhere (website maybe?) that the results will be sent to Sydney. Hope this helps Lulu x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LYNDAMUMFORD Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Hey Snowy We are destined for Adelaide, but meds need to be sent to Sydney - hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest snowy10 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Many thanks for the very quick reply, will phone them tomorrow to let them know Sydney is the destination. I applied on-line so assumed they could attach them direct to my application?? It came as a shock when they asked where do you want them sending!! Thanks again.

gaz n family Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 Snowy. Where are you having yours done? We have ours booked for 28th in London. We will be having them done by this e-health thing. I am told (someone on here has just done theirs last week, clan mac i think,:embarrassed: but i posted on there so if you search medical and Gaz and family is should be found easy) But basically, they turned up with the printed E26 and E160 of your DIAC account and the Dr does the rest, filling it in online. Not sure what happens with the bloods i assume they have to be sent away and the results posted a few days later, i guess they update the on line account as and when. OMG all the waiting and not being in control of our own destiny....:arghh: OMG, i think i am becoming a control freak :shocked: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The price seems very reasonable at £193 (including x-ray) for an adult and £85 for our little girl. Not heard much about this e-health thing so will just have to let the doctors do their thing. Police checks will go off tomorrow. I think I will e-mail Adelaide DIAC and let them know my stuff may be a little later than the 28 days they give you. Good luck Gaz and hope the knee holds up!!

OMG all the waiting and not being in control of our own destiny....:arghh: OMG, i think i am becoming a control freak :shocked: Gaz, tell me about it. We just want it done now. Have compiled all the "specific work experience" that they want.. not easy having to get organisation charts for an organisation that doesn't like doing them.. further work reference. If this is to prove skills points, doesn't the skills assessment do that.. Went for our meds. Couldn't do the e-health. Told it was because it was a 475 application "and you have to do what you're asked for". Whatever. Have to go to docs tomorrow to get a consultant letter from about 50 years ago. One day all of this will seem irrelevant and we'll all be enjoying the sunset somewhere. Anyway, Gaz, am sure it is good news and sorry you have such a pain with your agent. You have probably gone straight to visa grant.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jill Hi Jill Well...we were told by the Jobsworth (sorry the Receptionist) that "Were they the forms you were pointed to from the DIAC site?" She implied you have to use the forms you've been linked to - "something might go wrong otherwise". Frankly we were not impressed with the place in London. The actual medicals didn't take long but they were running very late - 45 minutes, with no explanations until we asked, the place was very scruffy, the water was empty. Not what you expect in Knightsbridge! We shared the waiting room with the loudest photocopier ever which was producing hundreds of copies of something. All this for £250 each.. Makes you wonder if they actually discourage e-health as I think they get more money for the manual ones. Still, at least it's done now. That's my conspiracy theory anyway. It could genuinely be that the 475s are different. I saw Snowy's post above and am sure we've been given longer than 28 days to upload the additional documents. Yes, we filed everything online. Let us know what they tell you in Birmingham tomorrow! TNR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
