that would be under Partner Visa (a new/separate application), because approved na ang visa mo eh.. you cannot add a new person after your visa has been granted.

Friends,

Question naman po o, pasensiya na po kung medyo very basic -

1. Na finalize na po ang medicals naming pamily - does that mean na pasado na kami sa health requirement? or does it simply mean na may decision na sila sa health requirement issue namin? In the latter's case, do we get an email from our CO saying na pasado kami, may kailangan pang exam or bagsak?

2. In case na approved na ang visa namin, do we get an email from our CO or do I simply have to keep checking dun sa e-visa status page to see if there's an update?

Thanks po in advance for any info.

1. Medicals Finalized - means may decision na sila sa health requirements.
2. CO will contact you on their decision. Normally they will send an email containing the visa application decision.


Question, naging "medicals referred" po ang status ng medical exam nyo?
Goodluck!

Many thanks for the reply, lock_code2004.

Yes, naging "medicals referred" yung sa wife ko for about 3 months before it got finalized. Not sure if it's because of the backlog or something with my wife's health results. I haven't received anything yet since the finalized status last 12 Dec pa. I'm not sure if I just need to wait or have to email our CO. I'm just hoping and praying for a positivie response.

@sticker - i think it has something to do with the medical exam... kasi hindi nman lahat na rereferred.. alam ko pag may issues lang..

na contact na ba kayo ng CO even before mag medicals referred/finalized?

sticker

@lock_code2004 - yes, I think it has. My wife has elevated blood sugar pero manageable naman. In our medicals in St. Luke's, we were asked to have additional lab tests and get certifications from her doctor to which we complied.

After almost 2 months that her medicals were still referred, so I emailed our assigned CO if we can follow-up. We were given an email address to which I sent a note just to ask for the status and if we need to provide more documents or undergo further tests. I found in another thread na maraming backlog daw on medicals. Pero on the 3rd month na wala pa ring response, I followed up again kaso wala pa rin reply, until on early December (4th month) it got finalized.

I'm still waiting for the CO to email me on the results of our application. I guess I'll just have to wait, be patient, pray and hope for the best.

Happy New Year!

@sticker - goodluck sir! It will be a visa grant once they return back to office...
complete na po ba lahat ng requirements nyo, PCCs at wala ng hininging iba ang CO?

@sticker .. how did they found out about the blood sugar? did you declare it to them during the medical history interview? from what i understand kasi they are not checking sugar level during blood test.. i might be wrong...

hotshot

@multitasking : oo nga pagkakaalam ko di chinecheck yung sugar sa blood test. yung glucose lang sa urine.

guys/gals.. just would like to ask what do you mean "frontloaded" in the medicals column..

it means kahit di pa nirerequest ng CO....they went on to get their medicals and uploaded it to the system.

Can you do this as soon as you get a TRN or an acknowledgement from Skillselect?

sticker

@lock_code2004 - many thanks for the support. yes, we've submitted all our documents already at walang namang hinigi ang CO namin. Hoping for the best.

Yes - we declared it during the medical interview.

you "frontload" documents after apply for a visa sa DIAC.

@hotshot sorry, I meant to say after getting an invite, lodging an application, paying for the fees and getting an acknowledgement then you can take the medicals, is that right?

basta nakuha nyo na po yung health request id, pwede na po magpa-medical. it usually comes with the diac acknowledgement. pag wala, yung iba dito they emailed health strategies directly and asked for their health request id.

@hotshot oh I see. Ok, thanks again!

Wala pa akong CO pero yung sa ecom page nakalagay na dun na puede mong iupload yung health requirements so you can say na nagfrontload kme. Dito sa SG, I ask yung clinic if they still need the Health ID kse nga I kept on hearing about it.. They said they dont need it just as long as I have the TRN number. Then binigay ko sa kanya and inaccess nya na and they know kung sino sino and ilan ang magpapamedical. After ng medicals namin sabi nila sila na daw maguupload. I'm not sure if yung health ID was before EOI kse walang binigay smen.

guys, for some reason, i cannot seem to download/fill out the e-health form of my father (dependent not migrating) in my e-visa page. i have successfully done so for myself and my de facto partner but when i click on "organize your health examinations" for my dad, the window that opens stays blank. has this happened to anyone? kindly advise. thanks!

hi.. baka naman po hindi na required mag medical ang father nyo (dependent not migrating).
please double check with your CO..

I know that has been a discussion here and some other forum...
but i've read somewhere (i cant remember anymore), may mga visa grant na hindi naman hiningian ng medicals ang mga dependent not migrating...

let us know kung ano ang replyng CO mo..
thanks!

@Aiwink thanks for sharing your experience. I'll try to check with the clinic here in PH if that's the same process. salamat po!

hi, can i apply for 189 visa in australia while holding 489 visa, so i dont have to wait for two years para maging permanent resident?

of course yes.. wala na pong distinction ngaun about on-shore and off-shore visa application..
sa EOI skillselect.. points ang basis.. as long as pasok pa rin sa 60pts pass mark..

mas advantage nga, dahil you can claim for both Au work experience and overseas work experience..

abc27

Ok, so I called NHS in Makati to check their requirements for medical and they said they just need the TRN number. They advised me to call them once I have that so they can check if they are able to access it from the system. Mukhang same process din siya from SG @Aiwink. Cool!

Hi @lock_code2004, when our CO emailed me the list of required docs, my dad's health and character requirements were not on the list. I clarified this with our CO but she said, since
i have added my father as a non migrating family member, he must therefore meet health and character requirements. I have already uploaded my dad's NBI clearance but I cannot download and accomplish his e-health form. I shall email my CO again about this. Update ko na lang din kayo kung ano sabi nya. Thanks!
