Waseem,
your mode of correspondence will remain same. In all cases, besides updating your online status, they will contact you through email or whatever your communication mode is set with DIAC.

Thanks Abrahamin. the second qurestion wanted to know If I dont get any sort of communication in next few days about rejection due to health requirements failure, say about a week or so. is it right for me to assume that the visa has not been rejected due to health requirements failure?

Dorothy

No, it's not right for you to assume anything. It may take a day or it may take a year for the DIAC doctors to decide.

Well, the question was asked because they have updated the status as health requirements finalised in the immi website for my daughter and my status still shows outstanding. They had requested for additional tests for my daughter only, hence, I asked the question if it is ok to assume that the visa has not been rejected due to health requirements failure of my daughter? or it is still incorrect for to make that assumption?

Thank you all for your time and replies!!

As Dorothy said, you shouldn't assume anything.

The online status is no proof of anything - many people get their visas issued without their status being updated at all. A status of "finalised" implies that it has been finalised, although there is no guarantee, but it does not imply either a pass or a fail, only "finalised".
Also there is no set length of time in which they will contact you I'm afraid, you just have to wait.

Thanks again for correcting me. I wish there was a better status like pass or fail. which would be more confirmatory. Anyway, my wait and eagerness is just not stopping . Ill post the updates when I get any sort of confirmation for the people who might go through similar situations.

Pollyana

I guess the thing is that if they used "pass" or "fail" for the online status that people would jump to conclusions about the final decision, which might not actually be accurate. The case is still open so I suppose they can't put anything on there which would lead to an applicant assuming something thet could be wrong.

ahmedwaseem2000

Agree!! Just for my understanding doesnt a fail for health or Police clearance or IELTS would imply that the application would fail ?

Pollyana

I don't know about IELTS, not got enough knowledge about that, though I think it is more cut and dried than the other two. You either meet the score they want or not.

In the field of meds and pcc though, from what I've read over the years it doesn't seem to be that simple. Some people do have convictions on their pcc but can still get a visa in some circumstances, depending on how long ago/what the offence was/how they have rehabilitated etc. With medicals, some conditions are accepted for some visas but not for others - spouse visas sometimes are more lenient and allow for a waiver, for instance. On other occasions DIAC request a health undertaking so the person is monitored on arrival in Australia. That's why I personally feel having a "Pass/Fail" thing on the online status could be dangerous - there could be factors in play beyond the actual report itself.
