misty_girl:

What do you mean by "have your papers scanned at the Medical commissions"???

How long do you have to wait to go back there for that??

Please let me know from your experience.

Thanks

Laurent

After the checking (Blood and Chest Scan) I came back. Then in one or two days (Cant remember) I went there with the documents and two officers who signed my documents after checking my result in the system. Then It will be automatically updated to the immigration. Once you get the signature from authorized officers of Medical Council, the sponsor will receive a SMS. Then you can go to immigration. (This is all about 2-3 day process)

I tell you, go back to Medical Commission and have your papers scanned. Don't wait forever! That happened to me few weeks back. I have been waiting in Immigration for them to have the result...only to find out that MC did not encode it in their system.

Medical Commission do not transmit the results immediately to the Immigration. Go back to Medical Commission and have your papers scanned...and there you go! The result will be in Immigration in a split of a second. Results are available in three days but they do not trasmit the results electronically. You have to go back to Medical Commission.

Try checking your medical result also in their website, so you would know that there will be no problems.

Depending on who has sponsored your visit visa. If your spouse then you can extend it upto a max of 5 months and then 2 weeks after that.

Yes medicals just take 3 to 4 days max to go to immigration. Try after a few more days.

medical does not take two weeks.. 3-4 days max.. you should've renewed your visit visa at least two weeks before expiration to be safe.
