Hi,

Has anyone been accepted for a visa with Rheumatoid arthritis? I am currently managing my disease with just anti inflammatories and pain killers however I have had very expensive treatment in the past which did not work so it is unlikely I will have to have that expensive treatment again.

My husband and I both have skills which are required in Aus, we are also both under 30 and have no other health problems other than my RA.

Do you know what the chances are of me being rejected?

Thanks in advance

i asked this question on here once before for a couple we knew who were thinking of migrating but the wife was concerned she wouldn't pass the medical and quite a few people replied and it didn't seem to be a problem.It certainly wasn't an outright no anyway.Try a search for the thread to find more info and failing that i would think a good agent would help you.Good luck,

Thank you I have had a look but can't find any success stories, we have decided to go to the expo in Leeds next weekend so will ask the immigration people then.

I have looked at the medical forms online and they seem more concerned with things like TB so I am praying it will be OK I am currently only taking ibuprofen and paracetamol so I am hardly going to cripple the health system.....

Hi - I'm new on here, are you able to let me know how you got on with your Rheumatoid Arthritis query please?

I doubt they will be in a position to give a specific answer and anything they say is worthless unless they put it in writing.

I found a website on DIMIA's view of various medical conditions if you would like a look - its certainly not an official immigration department website, but it may help give you an idea of what to expect.

Google "typical medical conditions iscah" and its the second result
(the 1st result is a pdf newsletter with a link to the same medical conditions page)

(ps for some reason I couldn't view the page in mozilla firefox's internet browser, but I could in Microsoft internet explorer)

Best of luck anyway
