Medicals Which processing centre Sender: lian and jon

Hi there,

We are sending ours early too and am pretty sure it is Sydney. We have two queries out on other threads asking for address and full SP for this. We intend to send meds and PCs before CO as 2 below. Will keep you posted if we get answers.

Have you actually sent your visa app yet? We did in August and had Ack in September with file reference (very important).

There seem to be three approaches available:

1. Send meds with application. With no file reference there is an increased risk they get lost. Also be aware that clock is ticking and if it takes 9 months for visa you will only have 3 months to validate visa! (even worse if you are B clbutt with only 6 months validity).

2. Wait for visa ack and file number. Then send meds off unrequested some time after (we are aiming for about 1 month before CO allocated (by following timelines). This will reduce risk of meds going adrift and keep (almost) maximum validity.

3. Wait for CO allocation and meds request. This is the safest but may delay visa grant by about 2 months (time to organise, have and send meds). Benefit is getting full details of what-where from CO.

ASPC is slow to respond, we took ages for an e-mail to be responded to but did talk to a very helpfull young lady when we rang ASPC at 1 am here.

Good luck and keep posting.

Jon
