(1) Do we need to fast before the exams? Medicals will be done at 10 in the morning...
(2) Assuming everything is okey, how long will it take before they can finalize the medical report?
Thanks as always guys!

buhayin ko uli ang thread na ito.
tanong lang po.
1. Do i need to inform our CO after the health requirements finalized?
2. Bakit required pa rin ang status sa documents checklist even na upload ko na lahat?
475 visa in waiting mode pa rin.
salamat.

1. The CO will be the first one to know if your medicals have been finalized. In fact sometimes, they are the one who will decide if your medical results are okay or not.. So there is no need to inform them.
2. if you know that you have submitted all the required docs, then tinamad lang si CO na baguhin ang status.. some of us here have still "required" status of documents, even after ma grant na ang visa..
goodluck!

"Medicals finalized" means DIAC or AU ministry of health have checked your medical results and all are okay.. that is why my answer was like that..
goodluck!!

Here goes my story, I am married to an Australian citizen last July of 2012, but last Sep 2011, I went thru thyroidectomy for a Papillary Carcinoma (thyroid cancer), the pathology result stated that it didn't spread to other lymph nodes. I also have with me a statement from my doctor that I am under suppressed therapy (hormone pill intake) and no radiotherapy needed as of now. She also stated my MACIS is 2.38 thus survival of 20 yrs is 99%.
I am planning to lodge my application on mid June this year. Does anyone here the same case with mine? I would appreciate your thoughts Thanks!

Just received a mail from health strategies
Chest specialist (or chest clinic) investigation and report required for current status regarding
tuberculosis. A recent chest x-ray showed RLL infiltrates Please include the following
information:- Clinical examination findings;- Old chest x-rays for comparison (if available)-
Repeat PA image at the completion of cultures- Any previous reports regarding any treatment
of tuberculosis;- Results of 3 current smears and cultures (sputum samples taken on 3 different
mornings, or other appropriate specimens as clinically indicated) and cultures for Mycobacterium
tuberculosis ((plus DST where available if cultures are positive).Please exclude other pathology
that could cause the abnormal x-ray findings as described above.Note past istory of treatment
for TB. Old films are in transit, not yet received at 2/5/2013 but would be very useful.
Questions
1. Will I be required sputum test? As I know, sputum test will take two months.
2. We have sent the old films in courier also in the medical clinic around February 20,. I am not sure how MOC has not received it (in transit)... How can I check if it is lost?
3. Has anybody here had the same experience/situation? What tests has been done?
Tulong naman po.... Nalilito na po kami..
Salamat po
