Need advise please. Ours is visa subclass 496. Latest communication with CO was July31 saying "the outstanding requirement is the finalisation" of my son's medical evaluation. He had primary complex/PTB but therapy was done and condition managed early this year.
So any inputs please if any of you are in this same situation or have been. Mga how long pa kaya ang hintay? Thanks!

Hehe kami waaaay back August 2007 pa actually. My wife is the main applicant at wala talaga sa in demand list ang nominated occupation nya plus visa 496 pa (no points) kaya last sa processing priority. Sige tama, will compose email in that light and hope i-consider nila yun sa pagsagot. Salamat po ng marami!
San po ba kayo sa Aus at kelan ang ETD, if you don't mind? Kami Melbourne, hopefully soon!
