If you are in London and applying for a spouse visa then I say front load, not heard of any problems but if you do it all before then you are fastracked.

I would like to front load but will the doctors let me have the completed forms.

That email from DIMIA inlcudes your case reference number. You can then put that on the forms when you go for your medicals. If you're applying for a BN 136 Skilled Independent visa, then a lot of people do their medicals 12-14 weeks after they've sent the visa application to DIMIA. The doctor will not let you have the completed forms. The doctor has to send them off to DIMIA. The medicals are only valid for 12 months. And you need to enter Australia within 12 months from the date of the medicals or the PCCs, whichever is the earlier. Therefore, you don't want to do your medicals or PCCs too soon, as this will otherwise limit the amount of time you have to get to Oz (and, if you do the meds without a case reference number they may get lost within DIMIA).

I don't want to wait for meds to be requested if I can help it. How do people manage to front load if the doctor will not let them have the completed forms? > I am planning to go at the end of november on a spouse visa so I want > everything wrapped up asap.

Our visa is a BN 136 Skilled Independent, which is a completely different porcess to the Spouse Visa. Maybe if you do a search on "spouse visa" you'll find the info here.

Hi Kev, The panel doctors are now required to send the completed meds forms directly to the relevant DIMIA processing centre. They are no longer permitted to give the forms to you. All the best, RT. Hi Kev, I just sent away my Spouse visa application and received a case number and request for medicals about 1 week later. I completed them this week and was phoned by the doctor to say they have been sent to London office.
