I did mine at the Rosebank Clinic. My plan was to do the x-rays first and then the medical, however on my way to the clinic the doctors rooms phoned and asked if i could come early and before the x-rays. Moving my appointment up by almost two hours. I had my documents, photos, passport everything with me and completed. I has also prior gone into the E Medical site on the internet, logged in with my HAP number and name and completed the information, which i noticed was a document the doctor had during the medical, so i guess this did help to speed things up. I was given three forms to sign when i arrived, just general information forms, then was directed to a room to do eye test. The nurse took my photo, took some blood and did the urine sample and then return to the waiting room. A few minutes later another the doctor called me. He ran through the document i recognised from the internet, basically my medical history. The whole examination was done in a few minutes, doctor was really nice, explaining what was needed and in the end he told me all was fine and that he'd given my an A+. Medical finished at 14:30. I went over the road to the x-ray department, was served immediately. Completed some forms, handed in my passport and pictures then waited a few minutes. Was called in, took my photos as well and then in a few minutes the x-rays were done, I was asked to wait for the doctor to check, almost immediately she returned and said the doctor says everything is fine. So i was done! Completed by 15:30! Even though i had completed the Form 26 Medical and Form 160 X-ray, no body asked or looked at either of the forms. I paid R900.00 for the Medical and R880.00 for the x-rays. The nurse put the HIV test onto my medical aid! I am so relieved it's all done, I had no idea how stressed I was until I got home that evening, then everything in me just collapsed! In one way it's nice i'm doing this alone because there is only one person stuff to do, however, it's emotionally draining because i'm so alone in the process, that is why when i found this forum i was so very happy!! I now have people to share my experience with and to advise me on my steps to take!! Thank you to each and everyone of you, just for being there, being part of the group!!! For making my journey lighter and easier!! Edited November 17, 2017 by Elza 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DGT Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 @Elza Well done. You did good. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elza Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 @DGT Please don't think me nosy or anything, but I see you submitted your AoS on the 13 October, and was wondering if you have heard anything from them yet? I was just trying to see what the average time is from Submission to approval, but it seems to be so all over the place, 11 days, 4 months and the other 1 month!! Hence my wondering about your submission..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onthemove Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 @Elza well done on the medicals and appreciate the feedback I believe we need 2 photos: 1 for the medical and 1 for the x-ray. Is that so? Fully understand how you felt after completing the medicals; the tension and anticipation is enormous. Though both my sons support me as far as possible, morally and otherwise (bless their hearts!) I too am alone running the "gauntlet" so to speak. Being told to chill and be patient and actually feeling that way, are two very different aspects. Only going forward for you now - bestest of luck @Elza. Shouldn't be long now before your visa is granted !! Happy dance all the way to Perth 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have heard nothing from Centrelink yet and according to those before us,there is nothing that we can do but wait.I am bargaining on 4 to 6 weeks......As @Dirkz says ,this is the one issue that can sometimes be a holdup. I shall advise the minute there is movement. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elna57 Posted November 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 Hey there Roomies. Sorry I have been a bad roomie lately. The move was ok. Kitty cat all happy. But we are still battling to get rid of house insurance etc. They are so quick to sign one up but when one needs to cancel they drag their feet. So much red tape. Had to go back to bank 3 times to get change of address right. Thank you all for wishing me this Friday. I am hoping Wednesday. Don't know why. But Friday would be good as well. You all have yourselves a great week and stay safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colgill Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 @JaneandGraham Also a voice from the past. We used Animal Travel (Shirley-Ann - Cape Town) to help get our dachshund across with us. They were very professional and efficient every step of the way. My dachshund had had major back surgery 2 months before she travelled and they were very accommodating. She has settled into life in Sydney as if she had been born here. Just an update to the remaining roomies, hang in there your turn will be next, let me assure you that the move is very stressful but once you arrive in this beautiful country, your stress fades away like a distant dream. I have to pinch myself when travelling on public transport and going over the Sydney Harbour Bridge thinking maybe it's a dream. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinaH Posted November 21, 2017 Report Share Posted November 21, 2017 Hello guys, I'm new to this group. Thank you Orphan and Elena for creating this fantastic group. I really enjoy reading it. I submitted my application for my parents in April 2015 and got the email from immi 4 weeks ago to prepare additional documents such as AOS, Police Clearance, Form 80 and Medical check. Police Check, Form 80 and Medical --> Done The most painful one is AOS. I submitted it on 6th November but still haven't heard anything from Centerlink. Do you guys know how long does it usually take? I read some comments from other roomies there are different time frame 4 weeks, 1 month, 2 months. So I guess it's between 4 weeks to 8 weeks? Thank you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinaH Posted November 21, 2017 Report Share Posted November 21, 2017 Also, will we get medical result or the center sends to immi directly? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
