guys: i need your inputs about this one. I have lodged my application to aus embassy manila last feb 25, medicals done and now waiting for the visa grant. I followed them up thru email and they sent a reply:

Dear Ms,

This refers to your email message referring to your health examination.

Please be informed that the results of your medical examination were

referred to our Health Operations Centre in Australia. Once we receive

information from them, we will inform you of any further action required or

if a decision can be finalised. It normally takes around 3-4 weeks before

information from HOC is received. Please note as well that we are unable to

finalise an application without a medical clearance being issued to the

applicant.

Further, Should your case officer require any additional information, they

will contact you directly as soon as possible

- for everyone who has received their visa, were you guys also passed the same process? because it's already on my 3rd week after the medicals and still no visa ;(

Hi yourprincess. Don't worry because that is the normal process. I received my visa a month after I had my medicals. Some even longer than that.

Yes, you're right.. Some say they got theirs in two weeks.. Maybe 2 weeks after medical results are forwarded to Global Health Australia?

Its quite a long wait considering they said ib their website that 456 takes only 7 working days to process. Thanks annie_v2g

No dear. It is stated on the DIAC website that processing for this type of visa is 1 month. And it also depends on all other circumstances so it differs in each applicant.
