Referred medical results

[jewoley]

Hi, I've been away for a while - thinking if I don't check on my status/forum, things may start moving...but it hasn't. My initial process from lodgement date to getting a case officer asking for pcc and medicals was really quick but ever since 13/4/11, my medical results still say referred.
I finally cracked and emailed HOC on Saturday and got a reply today saying they have finalised my results. My online status still says "outstanding" though - so what would that mean? Do I have to wait a while more for the status to be updated? Am frustrated with the silence. I dont mind the waiting but the inactivity/silence irritates me. :S

Thanks for the reply Dolly, I hope so but at the same time do not want to put my hopes up. As long as there is no grant letter, and no update on my tracker, I dare not assume :S

Can you share the reason as to why your medical results were "referred" in the first place. Was there any problem with your initial medical results?

Hi alfiat, I wasn't told or asked to provide more info in regards to my medical tests - so not too sure *shrugs*

I guess only DIAC knows why your meds are referred in the first place. Anyway, now that your meds are finalized....hopefully the wait won''t be too long for you.

Did the panel doctor mention anything adverse about your medicals when he did it?
Perhaps you have been given a 'B' rating for your meds. I believe if you have been given a 'B' rating, Health Operations Centre (HOC) will need to review the results.

Why don't you call the panel doctor to ask what rating you got? Hopefully he will reveal this info.

If he told you everything is OK... there is nothing to worry about.
Not too sure how long it will take to be finalized though.
