Hi

We had CO appointed yesterday and meds requested. Chichester is near us. Did it take long to get appointment? How much do they charge for adult / child?

Does the Dr do the x ray as well?

Hope you don't mind me asking - keen to get them done as soon as.

Does anyone know what average time is to receive visa once meds received at DIMIA?

Hi Micnic,

Definitely recommend Chichester. Didn't take long to get an appointment at all. I rang them on the Thursday and got an appointment for the following Monday. The meds were £85 for adult, £50 for children. Blood tests are extra at £25 each.

X-rays need to be done at the hospital. We went to St Richards which is also in Chichester - it's only about a 10 minute walk between the two places.

We had them done in the morning, picked them up after 1pm then had our appointment at 3pm. You have to take your x-ray to the doctor - you aren't allowed to open the envelope!

It seems to be about 2-4 weeks for visa after meds have been received.

Anything else you want to know, give us a shout!

Hi Janine

Thanks, that is really helpful information. thought the fees were higher than that!

also thought the visa would take longer to get - really feels like it's happening now!

Think it's a bit more - I called Chichester a couple of weeks ago and they quoted me £180 total for an adult - £85 meds, £25 blood test, £60 x-ray and £10 postage to LCU (am guessing international signed for).

not bad thought I guess - better than the others I tried (Brighton and Gatwick).

Yes you do have to pay for £10 postage - forgot about that. The x-rays have to be done at the hospital and are paid for there so are not included in the doctors fees.

I would highly recommend Chichester - they were really helpful and the doctor was very good.

I have a feeling you will get the visa soon. There has been an awful lot of got its this week, I reckon all the student visa applications at ASPC have been cleared and now they can concentrate on more important visa app's ie - all ours!!!

I was in a rush this morning so left the house pretty quick but just got a text from Nic saying she tried to ring, but they were closed by 7.45! Just checked their website and they finish at 4pm (7.30 our time)!! They also have Wednesday afternoons off. Sod engineering - I want to work for Australian Immigration LOL

Will try again tomorrow (assuming we don't hear of course )

Hi

Graham - keep positive it will be here soon.

Had meds on Tuesday at Manchester (Dr Milliom). All went ok other than attractive bruising from the bloods!!
He was really nice and easy going. Cost us £55 each for x-rays and £175 for my meds (had to have Hep B & C) and OH £125. PCC already with GMP, just waiting for them to be returned and will know in a couple of weeks whether problem with meds.

Just want to close my eyes and someone say visa granted, house sold and packed and here's your tickets, Enjoy!!! Getting frustrated and just "want to go" also.

Northerner aka Grahame, I have a feeling in my waters - You will be hearing about your successful visa app soon, ooh I feel like Mystic Meg, its true, not just because I have just drank a bottle of Chinese finest wine, but because I just know it - hang on in there baby - its your turn next!! p.s We looked at your blog, just being nosey, and your house is very nice since the before photos, if we had been in Madchester in 2006 we would have bought it off you for sure!

northerner

LOL You SOUND drunk!! Hope the wine was nice!! Good to see you're getting stuck in nice and early!!!

Glad you like the pics, think we've made a bit of a difference since we've been there - the decoration when we got it was truly awful

We'll do the usual checking of emails first thing tomorrow - if there's nothing again we'll ring and try to find out if we've got a co at least....

Enjoy the night - Mmmmmmm - wine sounds like a good idea!!!!!!
