A question on unrequested meds and police checks
A question about having your medicals unrequested, we are applying for a Skilled – Independent (subclass 136) visa my fiance is coming with me as my de facto partner, and we will be having our meds unrequested, am i right in thinking that the forms needed are 26 for the meds, and 160 for the x rays and even though i am the main applicant my fiance will have to fill his own med and xray forms for himself. the reason for asking the last part of this question is that it asks for job to be undertaken in oz and it is i who has the job which is needed.
Also i have just received the police check forms, does anyone know which parts i tick when it asks for info held on the police national computer, eg manual info or computer information, and then there are a number of other categories underneath this which ones do we tick. Do we need to fill a form 1022 in as well, as some people have and others have not. We have only ever lived in the u.k. for more than a year.
thx for any advice. lisas

Re: A question on unrequested meds and police checks
May be better asking in the immigration section of this forum.
Also, sorry, but I don't know about this, as we are at same stage as you but are not sending medicals yet

Re: A question on unrequested meds and police checks
Hi
We are going for a different visa, but we also front-loaded meds and police checks. Both of you need to be assesed for them both, and bring copies of the forms for the medicals (and xrays), as well as FINDING OUT WHERE THEY SHOULD BE SENT TO. We had a bit of nightmare when our doctor sent them to London instead of Oz when we hadn't included an address.
I would give them everything upfront, as long as you have the application number, and it will get done quicker.
Good luck, and watch out for the medicals (especially if a wussy bloke is involved
)!

thx for the info, not sure where the medicals will be going to, we applied to adelaide, but it seems that sydney is the place to send them.

Somebody! Please explain!
I am applying for 136 NON-MODL.
I have asessment and police certificate. And ready do medicine checks.
I would like to frontload everything as much as possible. What are my options?
Which documents can I send with aplication; police certificate and medicine results?
I see peoples timelines look like this:
- xx.xx.xx Application received by DIMIA
- Meds frontloaded
- xx.xx.xx Acknowledgement by Email
- xx.xx.xx Meds, PCC, Form 1022 requested
- xx.xx.xx Documents received by DIMIA
- xx.xx.xx Visa granted
Why in timelines people get requests for medicine and police certificate if they frontloaded it already? Is it automated request or you need to send police and medicine once again?
(Is that true that medicine require DIMIA case number and doctor supposed to send it directly?)

If you have waited 7 months for a CO and say takes 10 months for the visa then you have 2 months to validate!!!!
There is a reason that immigration say not to do anything until asked..
Good luck all.

In case it expires I can re-do meds no problem.
Or there is something else I don't know of?

Your query about the "job to be undertaken in Aus" is because if you are working in health care, and sometimes with kids, they may have to do an extra blood test (for Hep, I think) . Its not related to whether you are the main applicant or not.
