We were in the process of emigrating to Australia in Feb when I got diagnosed with Breast cancer. I have had my ops done and they have successfully removed all of it. I have 4 weeks of Radiotherapy treatment to do as a preventative for the future. I will be on some medication for the next 5 years (tablet every day). Can someone pls advise if they know whether our 457 visa will be denied because I had Cancer even though I am in the clear. Any advice will be appreciated as I will be submitting my meds again in August.

Thanks

Hi there,

first, I am so sorry to hear about your cancer but I am glad it has been fixed.

second, welcome to the forum.

We are at the stage of waiting for our visa to be issued, we have the medicals completed and finalised,

5 years ago my wife was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and we were concerned that it might get in the way of the medicals, when we asked the visa bureau our agents they told us that once you have been given the all clear you have as much chance of getting cancer as the next person so it will not get in the way of your medicals but you will have to submit doctors notes from your case along with the meds

hope this helps

weelee
