Hi Letmein,
Welcome to the forum.
1. I would always be upfront on the immigration forms. If you are not sure I would consult a professional migrant agent - we have a few of them on the forum occasionally (Alan Collett and Liana Allen).
2. They are usually only worried about illnesses that will drain the health service. So I would have thought arthritis was okay but if in doubt contact an agent.
3. If you read through the posts I think others have said how long 457 visa takes (I didn't use that visa type so don't know from personal experience).
4. Unabridged?
5. Have you checked the immigration websites for the health requirements?
The is a link in the "PLEASE READ...." sticky post.
Regards,
Karen
