Hi lani,

Have you tried calling the embassy? Does your case officer reply to your email? Also inform the school regarding your situation.

hi there annie,

i have been calling the embassy since last week. it was only last thursday that a request for urgent processing was sent by the embassy. my school is already aware of my situation and i was given only until wednesday to inform them if a visa is issued or not. if i will be moved to the next intake, my letter of eligibility will not reach the closing date. i will be lacking 4 days. my LOE has been extended already and AHPRA WA only gives one time extension. i am not sure if my AHPRA case officer will consider a 4-day extension..

Hi. If an applicant does not have any health declarations, will they still forward the medicals to GHA? Thanks! congrats on your visa grant sbeattrix. I hope my friend will receive hers too. She has done her medicals 2 days before you but she is still waiting for it.

Yes, the accredited clinics forward ALL the applicant's medical results to GHA.. (with or without declarations).

Hi! I'm posting for a friend..

He lodged his visa last may 3.

Up to this moment, he still hasn't received his notice for medical exam. It's already a week since it was lodged. Anyone else had the same experience?

Does bringing dependents incur additional costs? Or it will all be shouldered by the employer?Will parents be counted as dependents if you are single?Congratulations again ms annie.. Plz do update us of your progress. Godbless!

(Regarding your post on timeline for visa app and documents submitted.)

Thanks so much for the useful information sbeattrix.

I went to VIA Center the other day and they said it's okay to submit photocopied docs and a lot of their clients do this. I have been following this thread and most of the forumers here submitted either original or certified true copies for the processing of their visas. Do you think the processing time will be affected if we just submit photocopied docs instead of certified or original ones? Or do you know of somebody who still got their visas despite submitting photocopied docs?

I would greatly appreciate your thoughts on this matter. Thanks in advance and God bless.
