We are curently waiting for updates with the regards to the assesment on
your
medical results. Please be advised that your medical test
results were refered by the panel doctors to Global Health in Australia. As
such the processing of your visa application may take longer than
previously
advised.
As a medical examination has been undertaken as part of a visa application,
we are unable to finalise any pending visa application without the health
clearance. Rest assured your case officer will be in touch once updates are
received from them.
