Hi Everyone,

I had my medicals completed on 7th Dec and as per Fedex it was delivered to the Sydney office on 17th Dec. As per my CO (last week), they are waiting for medical clearance from some 3rd party which is responsible for validating the results.

Can anyone help me with how much time does it takes for them?
Any mail Id where in I can check what is the status of my medical reports.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
RK

we are also in the same board as taj2980. Hopefully it's clear soon! btw, can you still see your 'organise your medical examinations" link?

No Melbourne2012, I cant see that link , but I do remember I used to see the link sometime back. I am facing another problem though, my CO says she hasnt received half of my documents, which I had uploaded 2 months back. I can still see all the entries in the Attachments provided section with dates well before the cut off date of submission. Did you upload your docs or mailed them or sent them a scanned copy?

Hopefully all these resolves very soon.

i just received email from health strategies saying that our medical results are considered to be finalised by DIAC. Is it equivalent to be clear yet?

Cant say, but definetely you are not in the deferred list.

When did you send your results, was it e format or the paper/physical file format?

Mine was paper format from USA, delivered to them around 12/17.

Dont know how much more time they will take.

Hie Melbourne2012,

Which visa subclass are you applying for? When did you email health strategies? When did you get CO allocation?

Sorry for so many questions just trying to figure why your meds have been finalised relativel quickly. Perhaps they were not referred...

Their email ID is health.strategies@immi.gov.au.

But I'm not sure whether they have the updated info regarding this. When I emailed them, they said I have to send them the hard copy of my medicals (done at Medibank, Parramatta). But the same day I called up DIAC and they said that my medical results are in their system and has been finalized, so I can hold on to the paper results for now.
