I need medical help!!!
This is the situation so far..........
Our Step-son is spending the summer with us. He is here from America for 6 weeks, and has already been here 3.
Our agent told us a few months ago that it would be no problem to get his medicals sorted out whilst he is here, even though they haven't been requested yet seeing as with not yet applied and are still sorting out work history etc.....
However, we got in touch today with agent to find out which doc's we can use and he said we need to get the right paperwork from Aus to give to the doctor!!!!
We are now in a tiz because that might take weeks to come through and we've only got 3. Why our agent couldn't have told us this months back I don't know.
So....... my question is. Is the paperwork a standard form which we could down load, photocopy someone elses, etc, or should it have our name on, so its all official like.
Does anyone have a blank copy they could photocopy and send us???
Can anyone give us some advice on how now to go about this? Especially those who front loaded their visa.
Cheers

Assume they mean the bog standard form everyone takes to the doctor. Go on AHC site and e-mail them asking for a copy. You should receive it within a couple of days. Unfortunately they don't have it as a download. Will he need x-rays as well. If so you will also need to request the radiologist report.

Medical Help
Tazzy
Not sure if this will help but give it a try....
I obtained my husbands (we were applying for a spouse visa) medical and x-ray forms from the Australian High Commission in London - tel: 020 7379 4334.... Try ringing them and asking for help
Also here is a link to the panel doctors you can use in the UK...

Good luck - Let me know how you get on!!

Re: medical forms
Well I just thought I'd let you all know that we are SORTED!!!
:
Had a hell of a time this morning with a snotty receptionist, who wouldn't help us one bit. I'll name and shame....... Dr Million, 11 St Johns Street , Manchester. Don't bother giving your money to them as they are well up their own backsides!!!
Anyway, after emailing the AHC to beg them to send out some forms asap and took another look at the DOC'S approved list and saw one in Wrexham, about an hours drive away from us.
I phoned and explained our situation and the receptionist their was more than helpful!!! She booked us in on the 19th July and also said she'd send out the forms today!!!!
Thank god for the Welsh!!!
Good luck to everyone else fighting the battle of red tape and snotty receptionists.
