Hi

Can anybody share its expierence with medical issue while filing the student visa.
My CO has written that there has been an abnormal finding in my medical report and that they have referred it to the Medical Assessor (MA) in Wellington. The timeframe for the MA to respond is around 6-8 weeks. Till then the decision will remain pending.
My session is starting this September and I am very scared if my case gets deffered.
Please suggest!

I'd contact your CO and explain about the course start date. Ask his advice about starting the course.

Hi I have applied for student visa however due to some medical reasons I havnt got my AIP.
My CO said that I will be hearing from the embassy very soon.
But It so happen that I am late for the college that I have applied for and the college is not able to give me extension.
So my question can I change the college which has October intake and go to NZ on the same AIP?Do I need to inform the CO before I get the approval or once I get the approval in hand?

Is there anything you can do about the abnormal test results? Is it something you can get treated and then submit some updated results. My hubby from SA was 3 1/2 months waiting for the medical assessment pass. They called for more tests and more tests. He had to lose some weight and get some of his tests back to normal before he passed.
