    Dun po sa mga nagpamedical after mag lodge ng visa but before CO allocation. Ano po ginamit niyo to get your HAP ID. Yung 'My health declaration' or yung "organize your health exam" link sa immi account?

    Ano ba mas advisable:

    1. Submit 'my health declaration' , then print referral letter, then lodge visa application,
    then go for medicals after lodging visa application. Pwede ba ganito, if so ano answer
    niyo sa question "have you done medicals in the past 6-12 months'? did you answer yes
    eventhough wala pa nakapag actual medical?; kasi if you answer no then hindi hihingi
    ng HAP ID yung questionnaire, di ba? Pero dapat pag nag submit ka ng "my health
    declaration" ilagay sa visa application yung HAP ID galing sa my health declaration para
    ma link nila yung medical sa visa application?

    or

    2. Submit 'my health declaration' , then print referral letter,then go for medicals and
    lodge visa application only after medicals have been done

    or

    3. Lodge visa application, click on 'organize your health exam' link to print referral letter

    @apc I suggest going for option 2. That's what I did for my student visa application. That way you can already include your HAP ID in your app form and also makes for a faster processing I reckon.

    @apc Did it via "option 3". In my case gusto ko na kasi malodge yung visa asap. Since I have an idea of the processing time of my visa, I knew I had around 3 months to get a CO. I got my medical a month after lodging and I don't think naka affect siya sa processing time ko. Some people I know waited for the CO's advice para (not to be a pessimist) kung negative ang feedback, hindi sayang ang medical fee. I think normally they give you 28 days after they request additional docs to upload the files and sa case ng medical to have the institution provide the results.

    Depende sa situation talaga, hope this helps.
