My husband's have been in "referred" status since 21 June (so will be 3 weeks this Thursday). UGH I sent a note to our agent asking her to send global health a note asking for an update.

Yeah, if he has no health issues then it shouldn't take that long for his meds to be finalised. Hopefully your agent can nudge them along!

does the status "Further medical Results reffered" means that medical results are reffered to CO for further processing or does it mean that Medical results are reffered to Medical Team for investigation.

It means medicals are referred to medicals team for further analysis/investigations. once they revert back, CO will check the status & take approp decision

Dear All
can anybody suggest the maximum time which may be taken by DIAC to finalize the medicals after the status "Further medical Results reffered"?

So my agent replied to my note telling me she is unable to contact the health department and to be patient. Hmmm. I went ahead and used the global health contact page myself. Just a simple enquiry asking them if there is anything else we need to provide, etc. I'm not sure why my agent couldn't have done that?

Hindsight - I would not have used an agent.

Hi all,

I today went for medicals at Vijaya diagnostics in Hyderabad. After finishing all the tests, a doctor checked my lung for 2-3 minutes he asked me whether Im a smoker, I told him that Im not a regular smoker but yeah once in a while, like on a weekend, I smoke. He said your left lung looks like a smoker's lung. I got shocked and asked if it can be because of anything else like passive smoking. He didn't say anything and replied that DIAC may raise a query. (His words sounded like it's a minor issue but he said "DIAC may raise a query and let's see"). I'm all upset and tensed about this whole scenario. Has anyone gone through a similar thing?
