Done with the checks!
A week ago, the hubby presented me with the much awaited news… from our agent. Yeap… finally we are asked to go for our medical checks… the final step.
This morning we woke up early as the hubby made a 10am appointment in one of the private hospital. We arrived early but it was already filled with people doing various checks. We waited almost 2 hours for our turns as our case is different from the rest since the admin needs to get all the documentation ready.
Finally we get our blood, urine and eyes checked and tested. Then we took our X-rays too except for our boy… he only had his weight, height and ears checked.
The results were ready by 3pm and we were requested to return to let the medical officer to have another body and eyes check… and we are done!
So happy now as this will be the final hurdle we need to cross… once the reports are reviewed, we should be getting our confirmation!
Our fingers are all crossed!!!!
2nd Stage Cleared!
Ox year is looking good…
Hubby told me that our 2nd stage application has passed last night. It was a good news for us knowing that we did not waste our money for the process… since it cost us a bomb!
Now we will proceed to the next stage where we will be required to do medical check-up before they could grant us the full visa.
Keeping our fingers crossed again as this will be the most crucial part of the whole process… That reminded me to start my healthy lifestyle regime before we are to go for the medical! Urrgghh!
1st Stage - Cleared
We started our application for a better future down under sometime in April and submitted all the documentation in April. Then the hubby went for his IELTS in June and passed with flying colors which helps to add extra points to the application.
A month ago, the agent submitted hubby’s professional certificates for assessment and a few days ago, we got the news that he has passed that too. This means we have successfully cleared the 1st stage of our application.
Now, we have to make the 2nd payment so they can process the next stage… which is the Visa. If we pass this too means we will be granted a PR for 5 years.
Though this is not the best time to make any move, but it will be good when the economy turns around which could be in the next 2 or 3 years time. This will give us substantial time to get everything ready…
Keeping our fingers crossed!
