Don't have much time to check at the minute but off the top of my head....

I would hold fire on the medicals until invited to apply as they are only valid for so long...
no more than 3 months old at the time you submit your ITA I think but stand to be corrected.....

police clearance must be no more than 6 months old at the time you submit your ITA......

also as far as I am aware, applicants without a job offer are interviewed,
either by telephone or in person...Biddy knows about telephone interviews
and there is a thread about them on this forum too

hope this helps

(medicals are really expensive aren't they!! ?50 for an xray and I bet you're in and out in 5 minutes!!)

We need permanent residency before we go for daughter's university and my husband's work. They won't send application forms until we are permanent residents!! We got 125 points and I have a job on the skilled shortages list but we haven't got a job yet because we want to go in Spring 06 and its too early for me to get a job. After all the hard work I am beginning to worry that they won't give us a PR visa without a job to go to. Should I worry???
