Medicals
 
Hi all

need some advice please :(

Something came up on Carl's medicals - we don't know what! It has been passed on to the Medical Assessor and it will take up to 3 weeks to hear back. Will they still process his application and wait for the medical assessor's feedback or will they put everything on hold? His mum is a Type something Diabetic but he did regular tests using her prick-test thing and was always negative!

Please tell me this has happened to someone here and it turned out OK!

This has put a right bloody dampener on the whole process :(

Hi Michelle,
Sorry to say that Immigration will not even look any further at Carls application until the medical assessor has done their thing. The medical is the first thing checked until that is cleared his application goes nowhere.:(

I don't understand why no one will tell you WHAT!!!! :eek: At the very least it would give you the opportunity to gather future information if required.

We've got everything crossed for you that it gets sorted soon hun xxx

Type 2 diabetes is familial but generally would not give rise to a problem as long as levels are within 'normal' range. I presume that they have conducted a random glucose level during the medical. I know its easier said than done but my medical was referred 3 times and finally I got in!!!!

They may just want more tests (possibly glucose tolerance), They will let you know what they want but I know how you feel it takes an age and there is nothing you can do!!!:frown:

We had our medicals in March 06 and finally got PR after loads of queries in November. It tests your resolve but hang on in there and you will be fine I am sure, chin up!!!!:)

Its like getting information out of a stone!!!!!

The medical assessors (sort of consultants) will be looking at the bloods etc.. in light of the family history I would think.:)

Thanks everyone - we're a bit more optimistic tonight but that might have something to do with the wine I've been supping :rofl:

If they're going this indepth with the Diabetes history with MIL (:mad: nasty woman is even getting her claws in at other side of the world!) then jesus, they're going to throw me on the scrap heap! Pre-canceruos cells, abonormal bleeding, miscarriages, blood transfusions ... only to name a few!

:unsure:

Diabetes is a rapidly increasing health issue (keeping me in a specialist nurse post anyway!!!). If not controlled effectively it can lead to serious health issues in later life.
Your history is not such an on going concern as pre cancerous cells are generally treated successfully and the other gynae bits and bobs although awful at the time will not have implications for your long term health. So take another glass of wine, chill it will be fine, they are just doing their job:mad:

Aaaaaaagh!!!!

We are having main drains put in which we will have to pay another $1000 dollar per year on our rates even though we are on septic tank:mad:
If we switch onto mains it will cost £2000 to connect and goodness knows how much to get a drain layer to go all the way down the front garden, having a bad week all in all. Moan, moan!!!!!!:zzz:
