Hi just wondering about the timeline for everything. How soon after submitting an application for a visa do you get called for a medical or is it something you arrange completely seperately? I am in Manchester. How long did it take for you to get your visa all together?

Depending on your visa, you would normally wait until asked to get the medical and Police checks done by the case officer. The medicals and Police checks are only valid for 12 months and with some visas taking a long time they can expire before the visa is looked at and have to be redone. Also your time period to validate the visa by either visiting or moving to Australia is 12 months from the date of the Police checks or medicals whatever comes first. If you had the medicals done December 2011 and the visa took 10 months to process, that would only leave you around 8 weeks to validate the visa.

Now i have probably totally confused you.....:biggrin:
