Hi,
I applied as an independent 175 on 7th April 2012, its going to be 17 months since my application on the 12th of this month. The first part of the application was quite brisk and all formalities completed within the first 7-8 months that's since when status of all my submissions has been stated as 'met' in my online account except for the medical and PCC. Anyone else on the list with the same time frame and similar situation?
Thanks,

Obaid , stay put & just wait. Hope for the best. Many are like this . I applied on 176 which is supposed to be a bit faster than 175 . My case took 19 months & still waiting positively . My Medical call came after 17th month & after submision of medical still waiting . All the best to you . ![Sunglasses](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/sunglasses.gif)

If you have submitted PCC's I wouldn't worry - I think I still had medicals showing as referred when our visas were granted. If your CO needs anything they will ask - online status's rely on someone having the time (or not) to update them

Your online status really has no relevance. Its only updated when someone gets round to it and many people have their visas granted while their status still says "meds required" "further processing"and other outdated comments.
If you have a serious concern, contact your CO.

If you are from a high risk country DIBP may be carrying out security checks there. These are done directly with the country concerned, the timeline is out of the control of DIBP and you just have to wait.

Hi every one,
Update is requested from 176 visa applicants who applied in June 2012, particularly between 26 to 28 June. Has any one been asked for medical and PCC?
