I don't know a thing about medicine but I got the impression that they have to culture the blood sample or something. It isn't the lab being slow that causes this delay but something to do with how to test blood for HIV. The Panel Doctor told us (my mother was the visa applicant) that he would send the application off once he had the HIV results back.

As a minor point, do you have anything against capital letters or spelling? The name of the city is "Adelaide". :-) I spent a few days there many years ago. In Australia, used to be known as the "City of Churches". At the time, a very friendly city. Probably still is. Can get a bit cold in winter, though. >perth sounds very appealing but in a cowardly way we are initially >going to stay close by our friends. I appreciate your honesty over the "cowardly way"! One of the reasons I am posting a reply. Australia is a very pleasant country for Americans, if you don't mind the low population density. A bit smaller than the continental US, but not that much. Low population density, especially once get a bit away from the coastal cities. Depends on what you want, of course. Currently, Australia has a total population of around 21 million, most of which are in the capital cities or within 70 km or roughly 40 miles of the coast. Un crowded, friendly, and fascinating country. From a "lifestyle" point of view, perhaps something like the US was in 1920 or so, but with current technology. If you move into a new city or neighborhood, you probably will not get a "welcome wagon" urging you to patronize the donor stores. On the other hand, it is very easy to make friends wherever you locate. Although, there is much more "privacy" than in the USA if that is what you want. The "Central Coast" of NSW seems to be a reasonable starting point. Put it this way, if my wife and I were going to the US, wouldn't choose a major city such as N.Y. or L.A. Still, moving to another country can be a major event. Personally, would advise you to spend a bit of time on the central coast, then explore Sydney and Brisbane, for a start. Australian states and cities are more "different" from one another than is the case is the USA. I came to Sydney from the USA decades ago. Consigned my "freight" of personal possessions to "American Express, Sydney" A hugely useful service, incidentally. Would highly recommend it for worldwide travel, for many reasons. Immigration to another country is always a bit of an "adventure", but IMHO, you could do far worse than the Central Coast of N.S.W. for a start. A lot of Americans migrate to Australia. Unfortunately, most don't post their initial impressions, let alone how they are getting along, to this group. I hope that you will be an exception. Suggest that you keep a diary, or record your impressions on tape, and take some photos from the time you leave. Writing in a diary can be a bit of a chore, so would suggest that you have a pocket recorder, even a tape recorder, so you can easily record each step of your journey and edit it later for publication, even some excerpts on this group. Should include your first impressions of leaving the US for a new life in a different country. Perhaps what, if any, problems you have encountered. What you are taking with you, or shipping ahead. Personally, I would be interested in earlier data, such as why you are interested in moving to another country. Any problems encountered, and so on. IMHO, a great adventure awaits both of you, and I do hope that you will keep the group informed on your progress! Cheers, Cheers, Kangaroo16@example.invalid Sydney, 1 12:23, AM Monday, 31 Dec. 2007 [GMT + 11 hrs] P.S. If some of you can access the New Year fireworks live on some cable or satellite channel, I would suggest you have a look at them Sydney does provide a major display. being one of the first major cities in the world to welcome in the New Year, as the first major city in Australia to welcome in the New Year.

So far it's all quiet - but we're hoping that we can get our PR by Jan/Feb 2008??? And move in April??? Very nervous as we've already got our house on the market and starting our dogs in quarantine next month (6 months SA/1 month Australia) Bernice  SignatureBM - South Africa Hi BM - All being well you've done your timing right. Still a big waiting game I'm afraid. Good move on putting the house on the Market now though. How is the Market in SA? Better than the UK I hope :) Cheers Mark SignatureMark Hi Mark - thanks, we're unfortunately struggling with the house ... hav had it on the market for 6 months already ... but not sold yet. We'v had 7 interest rate hikes in a row now, and they've just made borrowin harder by changing our Credit Agreement Act - but things will happen i due course (I hope) and at least we then might get to spend our las Christmas in our home. From what I can see - the websites are saying it takes 6 months to year to get your permanent residency (from submission date) are yo finding this to be accurate? Our agent still feels we could get a case officer in December/Januar and because our application is complete with medicals and polic clearance, etc it should be approved (hold thumbs) quite quickl thereafter. They feel we should be able to leave in March/April .. -- BM - South Afric Hi everyone, just thought id let you all know that I have had a reques for my medicals from my case officer! Im a bit worried about this as the medicals were front loaded in May o this year and when I called the LCU they said that they have no recor of my medicals?? Is it possible these have been sent to the ASP instead? If so is it a problem of do the two companies work i conjunction with each other? Bit of a panic now to be honest!! Anyone got any advice?

If not, go to Google, click on "advanced search" then cut and paste the the desired number in the space provided. The top one is the original question, followed by two replies. I don't know if Google advanced search will accept multiple message number enquires, in one search, as haven't tried it. Other than this, my usual general advice on submitting anything to any Government department by post. Postal items can get lost in the mail, documents can get misfiled, and so on. If submitting any important documents by post, it is worth the peace of mind and the extra cost to send them registered mail with a return receipt requested. At least you will know that they have arrived and have been signed for.

Alternatively you may be able to request for your med results to b resent best wishe Mar -- Mar Mark & Ouija: I can confirm that ASPC does in fact forward medicals to LCU when the are received there in error. That is the exact scenario that happene to me. My doctor sent them to ASPC for some reason, but it's all good because they were forwarded to LCU and I have since received my visa. The last I heard, LCU was running about an 8 week backlog in processin medical reports, so it may just be that you are in the queue. I would definately let your case officer know that medicals hav already been provided and let him/her know the circumstances unde which they were provided. You can also lodge a PLE with LCU. Unfortunately though, there is no guarantee you will get an answer. sent one back on October 6 and still haven't received a reply. Moo point now that I have that wonderful sticker in my passport :D Best of luck!! the waiting is the WORST part once you have it, life kicks into ULTRA HIGH gear!!!

My husband will be working in the Melbourne CBD and w want to get the work/life balance right by finding a block of land i the countryside that is still within a reasonable commuting time o 1hr. He will drive to the station and take the train to the center. Th area that we have picked has only a few homes and no shops - just how w like it. When we want some excitement we can drive to the city outsid the rush hour in 40mins. We like the idea of Bendigo and being able to live 15mins drive fro the center and still be able to afford acreage, but the job that m husband does would be difficult to find there -- Michel Posted via the forums at http://www.gettingdownunder.co ----------------------------------------------------------------------- A poll associated with this post was created, to vote and see th results, please visit http://www.gettingdownunder.com/immigration-advice/showthread.php?t=3177 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Question: Where are you heading / where did you end up and why - Western Australi - Northern territor - South Australi - Queenslan - New South Wale - Victori - Tasmani ----------------------------------------------------------------------- What line of work is he in?
