Re: how long for visas after medicals
we were really lucky.
our medicals were requested on 24.11.06
and where signed for in Sydney on 22.12.06.
we had our visa grant 03.01.07
less than two weeks and they had time off for christmas and new year in between
we still have not come down from the ceiling.
good luck to all of you waiting it will happen when you least expect it

Dunno bout fruit cake! I am a nut cake now! Go back to school on Monday, which is probably a really good thing - cos it might make the time pass more quickly? Pleeeeease DIMIA, make me sane again!

Re: how long for visas after medicals
We are in the same boat. Our meds were sent on the 15th December and we are just waiting now. I too am getting really impatient. We are also heading for Perth and hope to be going end of Feb. Where abouts in Stoke are you? We are in Newcastle. Good luck with the wait, lets hope it's not too long!!!

Re: how long for visas after medicals
May I ask you; who was your agent, how much did they charge and were they worth-while? Neil
We sent off our medicals and police checks in September and our agent said it would take approximately three months however we heard within seven weeks. From sending off passports for visas that took eight days. We are going to Brisbane - Gold Coast in Feb next year. Good luck and Happy New Year

Re: how long for visas after medicals
Our agents have been very slow, unresponsive and very expensive. They will get the job done eventually. In hindsight, we should have used a different agent - boy I wish I'd discovered this forum before embarking on this whole process. I hear that Go Matilda are excellent - 2 friends have used them and swear by them! Also, they get a lot of positive vibes on this forum. Good luck, but go with reccommendation.

Re: how long for visas after medicals
Good luck with the meds. Where are you having them done? We went up to Manchester to Dr Million, only cos they could get us in the following week and everything was done there.

we are having our medicals done in shrewsbury as they were the only ones with availability before the end of feb.
so at what stage did you sell your house? we are undecided whether to wait until everything has gone through just to be on the safe side. what do you think? everyone says that once you go for medicals, if everything is ok, you will definately get in, have you been told that too?
we were expecting it to be six months after the medicals to get our visas so hearing these replys we are made up.
we know clayton well, my cousin lives on ferndown.

Re: how long for visas after medicals
Thanx Bexie How much did your mates pay with Go Matilda, and is it double for a (married) couple, or the same?
