Re: How old can medicals be?

From the 856 application form (which we've just gone through) - it states the supporting documents (including medicals) need to be enclosed with the application. Don't forget that the doctor doing...

Re: Editable form 47SP & Form 40SP ?

Oh how I wished for that in filling my PR forms! Hours of long-winded filling in forms by hand...

Re: Indian Curry

Blimey, that's a bit complex! I just coat onion in chick-pea flour, spices and a bit of water to make a thick batter, and deep-fry them.

Re: 457 visa approval?

Yeap, you're spot on :D
