Besides, the doctor doing the medical will ask you questions but will ask when the last time it had been used and maybe what triggers it. I think it may make a bigger difference to your application if you have been prescribed psychotic medication or have put others at risk with this illness. Also, they want to know for financial reasons and see if you may need state money to help you pay for it if things did turn. This is something that has NO affect on me now whatsoever, and I moved on extremely well by moving to a new town and am now in a good job, so all is good. I just want to be with the one I love :( Really struggling today, especially with this medical worry. EDIT - Is it worth me emailing Australia House and asking them about this? |

I would not worry about that at all to be honest. You have to mention it to the doctor when you have your medical as it is one of the questions there. But to be honest even though it is not a laughable matter, depression is likened to a cold by many doctors…or at least the ones I know in social circles. Everyone goes through it or knows someone who has.
It becomes more serious when you are seen as a danger to someone else or an extreme danger to yourself and are hospitalised. To have talking treatment is a positive thing – a lot of people do that for good mental health. I’m sure you’ll be ok :) |

Congrats on your visa Caz you lucky, lucky bugger :thumbsup:
Having a few worries about the medical side of things, especially as I have suffered from moderate depression with self harm back in 2002/2003. I really, REALLY hope this wont be a big issue and is the one big worry I have with my application :( I'm hoping to get my GP to write a letter stating I havent been on medication for the last 4 years or so and that I'm all well and good, will this help lots? Hi There, Thanks for your congrats! We sure feel lucky let me tell you!! Its a massive relief! As far as your medical goes I am sure the letter from your doctor will help loads! In my experience as long as you are honest about things they won't hold it against you. You can only put your case forward and hope for the best. I really hope it all goes well for you. Got everything crossed things go your way! Caz x :thumbsup: |

Hi,
Just wanted to introduce myself and get to know some people who can give me advice on a De-Facto Spouse visa and who are going through the same thing. The forms we have completed are: 47SP - me 40SP - OH 888 - OH's family in Oz plus her Dad, Sister, my Mum & Dad. I think i have got all the certification done, just checking that at the moment. Meds are booked for 30/5/8 Police check done. Can anyone see if im missing anything? Great site, has helped me so much with preperation and also the advice i have read of others doing it themselves has given me the confidence. S Hi Scott and Kaz Welcome!! Sounds like you have all the basic stuff under control. You need your evidence of your ongoing relationship stuff which can be tricky. Things I used were joint bank statements, tennacy agreement in joint names, a couple of old loan agreements and some utlity bills all in joint names. I did'nt send loads of stuff just a small selection going back over the years. Hope this helps! Good luck with it and keep us posted how your getting on!! Caz :thumbup: |

This all happened in a short space of time and I did have 2 spells in hospital and was on anti-depressants and receiving pshychiatric help.
This is something that has NO affect on me now whatsoever, and I moved on extremely well by moving to a new town and am now in a good job, so all is good.

Sorry to hear your having a down day.... I know exactly what you mean, if you read a couple of pages back on here I was saying the same thing! This visa stuff is so stressful! If you think it will make you feel better emailing them you should do it, but I think your medical will be fine. It was a period in your life and you have dealt with it in the appropriate way, your now fully recovered. I really can't see this being a problem. Why don't you email a migration agent that lets you ask a question for free? I did this before deciding to use an agent or not and they were really helpful. Hope this makes you feel a bit better, chin up!! :thumbup: Caz x |

Re: Spouse Visa Circle - join here!
thanks for the replies....
Had a mortgage for 3 years so have all of that and joint bank statements, council tax, photos and we both went Oz in 2003 so we have the stamps on our passports and photos etc etc etc. Form 80 i was told would be requested if needed and not to fil it in, is it better to do it anyway? Sleepless night going over and over this in my head and the fact that my OH is away just now puts more pressure on. All help greatly appreciated. |

We did not fill in a form 80 and were not requested to fill one in either. Guess you could send it but its not always required. Caz |

I’m sure you’ll be ok :) I'm probably worrying too much, but getting my application together is proving quite stressful at the moment, I cant wait for it all to be done! Thanks to everyone for their replies. :) |
