Hi Andy,
Hope this ain't the case, going for meds on wednesday (22) at Gatwick.
Been a smoker for a while (2 bloody long) but given up for 1 1/2 yr, hoping this makes a difference.
Did you get a letter saying to have the medicals done?

The only reason they would ask you for another chest xray if there were any signs of TB - scarring on the lungs, which would show up on an xray. The xray could of been a bad one, or maybe damaged in transit. I reckon you will have to take another xray on arrival in Oz (Health Undertaking, Form 815). Never heard of anyone being rejected for a chest infection. So don't be scared!!

My other half got a chest ingection & pnemonia about 6 weeks befofe x_rays and scarring showed up which ended with a refferral to Sydney. 2 Weeks later got asked for more details from the consultant or GP asking their opinion on a re-occurence.

3 weeks later visa issued after having to sign an undertaking to book a medical examination within 4 weeks of arrival.

So nothin really to worry about other than a bit more delay

thanks everyone, ive been stressing over it!!!! im the fit one in the family, gym everyday never smoked etc, and it was my xray thats not clear, its not tb or anything serious the doc said, but i just wondered what they,ll do about it, the medicals i gather go to adelaide to be checked out, if theyre not happy then what? would they say have another xray here and then ide have to send them offagain to adelaide, im so worried they,ll just fail me!! what if they say have another medical on arrival and its still not clear, then what!!!!! i cant help worrying. :scared: :scared: i suppose its a case of wait and see, jackie.
