Re: Medical problem with ITA
case officer filled out a form on my behalf
i had replied to letter that i was declined pr because of my bmi
had written a bit about the fact that i had recently had a baby and that i was loosing weight but doing it sensibly
also had a letter from my gp saying that i had no other medical issues and that the weight was coming off
the letter was sent to them in march and have just had to sit tight
kept the case officer updated on my progress
the form had to go to the manager's to be reviewed which has taken 3 weeks to get the response
funny thing is by the time we get our visas my bmi will be 35 so don't need the waiver
do you think you'll have to follow this route?
good luck

BMI 78.3?? That would mean you weigh 250kg!!
Have you asked the doctor to correct the certificate???
