1. A 3 year bond contract? Are you kidding? Is this person's wife
some kind of slave or indentured labourer?

2. She should be noted as migrating anyway.

3. She can validate her visa with a holiday, and her visa then has a
5 year validity from visa grant. Once her 'contract' expires, or
sooner if she wishes, she can use the visa then to move to Australia
properly, without the need for you to re-sponsor her.

4. Even if a spouse is not planning to migrate, a medical must be
done, and his application could be rejected if there were problems
with it. There is no way for someone who is married to apply as a
single, unless legally and permanently separated (and divorced unless
good reason exists).

5. Don't assume DIMIA will make the correct interpretation of her
condition. You need to hire an experienced migration agent who is
familiar with the health criteria and can advise you and your wife
what supporting evidence you can provide to avoid refusal.

case: my friend applied for australia in March 2002. Got marrried in
June 2002 and added his wife's name. Got his medical papers. Now his
wife too got the medical papers. His wife suffers from scolosis.
Q1 Is scoliosis permanent disability? She has no pain and she is fit
and fine. Will His immigration be rejected on this basis?

Q2 His wife does not plan to join him after a 2 years of his
settlement in australia. So, her medical will be invalid(as its valid
only for a year). So, is there any chance that she does not do her
medical and then too his immigration process continues.

Q3 Can he remove her name from the application now and later on (after
his immigration) add her name?
Q4. If this is a case of rejection :Is there a way that he should do
to obtain the immigration only for himself and not for his wife?

Please advice as very days are left for his wife's medical timelimit

I am a little confused here - why would your friend be emigrating without
his wife? Are they separated? I think immigration would assume that they
would be emigrating together, if not, they will probably have to explain
why. The medicals are valid for one year. Once a visa has been granted, all
named persons on the application need to travel to Australia to validate
their visas by the date given by DIMIA (normally 1yr from either Police
checks or Medicals). Scoliosis is permanent but how it affects someone
varies enormously. If she has no pain, is able to carry out her normal
occupation & will have medical costs of no more than $16,000 per year, then
she should be OK. She needs to bring to the Medical a letter from her GP
stating how much the condition has affected her, if at all. The medical is
done on the information provided so if the panel doctor has no information
about how her condition has affected her, the health Panel in Sydney will
make a judgement on that.

Hi Siobhan hanrahan,
Thanks a lot for your information. She is leading a perfectly normal
life and has no complications. Its just that she went for one of her
xrays when she came to know about it. Uptill now she has no problem in
carrying out the daily duties whatsoever. No they are not seperated.
Its just that where she is working she had a bond contract of 3 years.
She wont be able to complete that contract before she would get the
immigration. That is why she would like to leave later on the
completion. The bond carries a heavy duty so she does not wnat to
leave the job and go to australia but would like to send her husband
to go and settle there first and she would follow.

How do we get the idea that how much cost would involve the government
if there is any problem in the future life with her medical problem.

Anyway thanks a lot for the input...for my friend

If it is a tiny deviation it is no problem at all. Cause scoliosis can be anything from unnoticeable unless you go to an orthopedist to a person that has impaired walking due to a severe case...

Siobhan Hanrahan

Hi,

I understand the work commitment. I would advise that she try & get a
certified copy of this commitment info in case DIMIA ask for it at a later
date (just to be on the safe side). You don't need to figure out the health
costs yourself. If she is currently on no medication, is in no need of an
operation at this time or in the near future, no ongoing physiotherapy so
she is unlikely to be an excessive burden on Medicare. She should be OK.
