Hi everyone

We applied online last week for the new 175 skilled independent visa. It seems to imply on the checklist that we should get our meds done yet on another part of the site it clearly states not to go for meds until requested. I know some people do front load their meds and x-rays but when and why?

Can any of those people that applied online (I think it was for one of the temporary visas you could do this, but correct me if I am wrong), tell me when they went for their meds, did they do it before being requested, after a certain amount of time or immediately? Is a week after applying too soon to make the appointments to go or not?

I know online applications may move a bit quicker but is it (or will it be) that much quicker?

I would appreciate all responses - please help me in my confusion!!!!!!

Hi

We are on 457 visa..we had our meds frontloaded on 24th July ...still not heard from LCU. I would do it sooner rather than later..but that is only my personal view,others may disagree.

Cheers

Hi platapus,

You would be very happy .. LCU is processing the medicals signed for 2oth July for permanent Visa and 24th August for Temporary Visa...

So... time is getting closer to dance with kangaroooo

We are still completing our 457 form and expect to get them submitted early next week, we were told to go for our chest xrays asap as there is a backlog so we went last Thursday.
