INTAKE: JULY 2016
Medical exam was last May 12. Primary applicant and dependent child got clearance but unfortunately, dependent spouse did not get any clearance but was advised for further examination. Visa application was acknowledged May 26.
We have not received any advise from IMMI so we do not know the next step. WE do not know if I need to go thru the sputum test etc...
Anyone with the same experience??
Please advise and share.
