Re: AUGUST 2007 Applicants
Additional Medical Request Advice Please
We submitted our VISA application in August and got a case officer on 2nd Feb, the meds were done as requested for only Me, my wife and our 2 kids and sent off on 2nd Feb. I have a daughter from a previous relationship who is not migrating with us and included her on the application as required. The original request from my CO only stated that we need to get medicals done for the me, my wife and 2 kids with no mention of my non migrating daughter from my previous relationship.
Hooray I thought, it's cheaper now and less hastle as she lives a long way away and arranging meds would be a real pain.
Then, after I resent our Police Checks again because we had not received any information back I get an email today from aspc.region.2.immi.gov.au stating
.....'Our records indicate that the Medical assessment for <Daughters Name> is still outstanding!'...:curse:
The communication did not come from our Case Officer and so I am wondering if another DIMA official simply checked our records and saw that we did not have meds done for our non migrating dependant and quickly dispatched the email without checking the original request from our CO.
What do I do?
Do we now arrange meds for my non migrating daughter as stated by someone who is not our CO and accept our VISA will now be delayed by a couple of months?:curse:
Do we try and contact our CO for clarification and if so how as we have never been given her email address?
Can CO's simply change their mind and additionally request other meds to be done that were not originally asked for?
Has anyone else had this happen and what did they do?
HEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLP!

Those of you that are UK applicants and that have not yet lodged police clearance certificates and attended medical examinations may want to consider progressing them. My understanding is that allocations to case officers are taking place within a few weeks of file references being issued.
Discuss with your agent (if you have one).
Good luck to all!

Can you or anyone else answer the questions I have raised or know how I can contact my CO directly to get clarification of whether or not the additional medical is required?

Re: AUGUST 2007 Applicants
Alan, as you can see from my post on it's own thread I need some advice regarding how best to contact my CO when I don't have her email address or anything (We dont have a Migration Agent).
Can you or anyone else answer the questions I have raised or know how I can contact my CO directly to get clarification of whether or not the additional medical is required?
