I need suggestion and inputs for those who apply for tourist VISA for parents/brother/sister for more than 3 months (require medical).
Process followed applying online using immi account.
Create Immi Account. applied my parens and sister using my account and make myself the point of contact.
Visa application submitted online
Pay the fee
Received immi acknowledgement of visa application via email and the status changed to "Application received" on the immi account
Next step shows to attached documents under " Supporting Documents"
took me a lot of time to figure out which is the right category the evidence should belong cause some category refers to same evidence/document.
I try to follow the recommended evidence but not all applies so skip that I think is not applicable and try to find a category that would is applicable.
I was having a hard time trying to add my personal evidence
Attached all evidences per category (as much as I could)
It is a bit confusing attaching the evidence one at a time as you need to identify the correct category
can only attached 30 docs. sO i need to merge document as much as possible specially the passport pages as proof of travels overseas.
Next step is health exam (since I am applying more than 3 months for my parents and sister)
I read on the website that if I already submitted the VISA application, you should wait for the case officer instruction on when to get the medical exam done as if I try to take the medical exam by myself, it may cause confusion and delay (as per website). It also states that the case officer will provide the health ID (HAP ID) that is required to book for medicla examination.
BUT,
When I look at the online immi account visa application after attaching the evidences...., I can see the link for eMedical under Health requirements and when I click the link it shows the HAP ID and the link to print the referral letter.
Did you wait for case officer response and their instruction for the medical exam or I can now proceed in scheduling my parents/sister medical exam since I can see the HAP ID and can print the referral letter which is the requirements to schedule for medical exam ?
Is the status of the application change once Case officer is assigned?
At the moment, the status is "Application Recieved".
