So we just had our interview on 02/10/12, and the lady told us our packet was "perfect"

except....

Anzac Medical in Brisbane DIDN'T FILL IN THE IMMUNIZATION BOXES! :( :( :(

They are even highlighted on the form. The doctor simply didn't fill them out. So we got a "refusal worksheet" and they contacted the doctor for the results.

Incredible that they could overlook something so important, seeing as though THAT'S ALL THEY DO at that medical office.

We called the doctor and had them fax over the records, but who knows how long that has delayed the process.

It has now been a week since the interview and we still don't have the visa in hand.

And there was no way we could have known about the error ahead of time because we're not allowed to open the sealed medical report!

Grrr....

I experienced something similar at anzac medical, but luckily was picked up before they handed me my sealed envelope. I got a call back for 'an immunization you're missing'. I got there and the doctor apologized as he'd forgotten to write down the Varicella vaccine he'd given me the week before.

I'm sorry this happened to you :(

True, but they ARE supposed to give you a copy of the immunisation report (DS-3025) as stated at the bottom of that form. Seeing you're in the middle of getting this fixd, ask for a copy of your ENTIRE medical because you may need it for AOS.

Oh no :( so sorry to hear. I'm sure it will get sorted quickly.

Didn't you get a copy of the vaccinations for your records? When I opened the big x-ray envelope they sent me back, there was a sealed envelope(with the medical results which I didn't open) the x-ray and a copy of the vaccination for my records.

Lucky enough last night when I was pulling all my paperwork together I decided to bring that too just in case....phew Interview is tomorrow :unsure: so nervous
