Re: Pregnant while getting Visa

OH found out she was pregnant just (about 4 to 6 weeks) after we submitted our visa application. If you've not submitted the forms yet then you could add that you wife's pregnant when you do. As we...

Re: Question about validation trip

We're off to validate our (136) visas this month and our son is 10 months old. If they're on the visa then they have to go with you. My OH didn't believe that we'd have to take him, but in...

Re: Anyone emigrated while pregnant

I've read other replies with interest. Our approach suited us and our particular circumstances. On balance, had we found out that OH was pregnant before we applied, we would still have applied for...

Yes, you get this done at the Post Office. There are different options for different countries, but you can get International Signed for to Australia.

Re: Courier Advice

Re: Anyone emigrated while pregnant

You can get your meds done while pregnant. My OH had the meds done at eight months, but we delayed the X-ray until after our son was born. Our doc was fine about it and it didn't cause our...

We applied for a 136 in May 2005 and we found out that OH was pregnant soon after. It took eight months for us to be asked for our meds/PCCs and we're now sorting out our bond and expect to get our...

Re: Do we apply now or later.......

Sue & Jason

Our X-rays were done at a different place to our meds. The X-ray people sent the stuff onto our panel doc themselves.

Re: Bond payment
