Yeah as far as I was concerned, just because that status page says being processed further, it does not mean that you have been given a CO. The day we were assigned a CO, our agent emailed us to say that we had one!

Am sure everything will be fine with your meds tomorrow....
Ours next week and i'm a nervous wreck about them already, so look out!!

and CONGRATULATIONS on making your 1000th post

So....

How do you go about getting medicals? I'm so dim I don't know how I ever got to this stage!

Anyone done meds in Scotland yet and have any recommendations?

Is it just a case of phoning to book an appointment and turning up? What do you need to take with you?

camacazi

just filling out the forms, just to confirm we do need forms for kids don't we?
do we need a visa or trn number or something?

JAK

The TRN number is already filled in for you. Yes you need them for the kids. Have you downloaded the forms from the page where you log on to track your visa application?

I downloaded all our forms from the document checklist online which has everything on it already,ie name, age, DOB, TRN number, Passport number...The only thing wrong with that was that they put my father-in-laws details on my 6yr old son's forms i just crossed his details out and filled in the right information...

You need forms for all of you and you need samples too!!

the agent just sent us an attachment with blank forms

How strange! The same thing happened on MY forms: my dads details were put on my 4-year-old daughters forms!! I assumed it's because they're both K Nicholsons!!!

memewest

Ahhhh, you could be right!

They both have the same initials, J R and the same surname, obviously!

Am thanking my lucky stars that we're not taking him with us!! mother in law, she's great, would take her!!
Keep telling father in law that if for some reason we don't get the visa, then we're gonna apply for assylum as he's a danger to our health!!!

D'you think that'll work??

melbert

No!!!

We had my father in laws details on for my son, (completely different initials) and my sons details on my daughters form (no, I didn't get them mixed up, they were downloaded straight from our documents checklist page!) We just changed the name, dob and gender on the one form and the doc got us to initial it and it was fine. It seems to be a common problem, there is another thread on this site about this!

Our agent was going to send us the downloaded forms but we had already done it. These forms have some of your details filled in and your TRN number.

Hey, you're OVER 1000! I missed it

camacazi

how do i do this?
or will i just get my agent to email it and write it on the form?

camacazi

i know!!!!

but i'm panicking to much about these bloody forms now to celebrate

tiger222

If you just have the blank forms, you'll have to write the information in yourself. It says on the form to fill in section A and the rest is done by the Doctor.

My daughter turned 11 over the summer - after we lodged but before she had the meds done. Because of that I thought it was best if she had the X-ray done. Since there was no X-ray form for her (she wasn't 11), I just downloaded one from the DIAC website and filled it in. Piece of cake!

The forms take some time to fill in, so don't put it off until the appointment. And remember to bring 2 passport photos for adults and 1 for kids. And your passports, of course.
