  hello pips.. may nakapagcancel na ba sa inyo ng medical referral letter from my health declaration? nakapaggenerate na kame hapid and all, pero di pa kame makapag sched ng medical exam.
  Nilagay namen no sa question kung pregnant ba or not.., pero baka kasi preggy pala si wife..
  if ganito, pano ba, hindi na rin kasi mkakapag generate ng bagong referral/hapid..
  - sabihin nalang ba namen straight sa health exam na preggy?
  - or maglodge na kame ng visa, then take the health declaration from there eventually generating a new hapID?

  @eujin gumawa ka ng My Health Declaration? pwede mo idelete yung una tapos gawa ka na lang ng bago para magkaroon ng new HAP ID.

  Updating the tracker! Called the clinic and they confirmed that my medicals are clear na, after a few minutes, it was reflected on my IMMI account already. Lodged my visa application and attached all required documents I've collected.
  
  Question -- tama ba na yung attachments for "Health, Evidence of" ay if the CO will require any additional documents/tests lang? So if nakalagay naman sa "View Health assessment" ko ay: "Health clearance provided - no action required", no need na to attach anything? Tama po ba?

  May tanong lang po ako sa medical. May high BP kse ako and taking medication so controlled naman sya. Yun nga lng sa recent routine test ko with my doctor, may nakita na may slight blood ako sa urine (microscopic). I underwent ultrasound, CT scan ng heart and kidneys to rule out the cause, thank God kse normal naman. Yng blood daw ay possible due to high blood pressure. So pinalitan ang mga gamot ko at tinaasan ang dosage.
  
  Pero reason ba ito for rejection? Meron po ba dito or meron kyong kakilala na may same situation ko? Nakapag lodge na kme ng 190 visa pero wla pa kmeng medical and PCC. Advise kse ng agent na hintayin daw namin na mag request and case officer at ibigay ang HAP ID before proceeding.
  
  Medyo concerned kse ako. Thanks in advance.
