The dreaded medicals!

We went for our medicals today at MedMigration, 11 St Johns Street, Manchester.

Before going I printed off the health forms (26 and 160) from the online visa application site, adding passport photos to each document. This would help speed up the medicals and reduce the amount of time the kids had to hang around.

I was a little anxious beforehand, wondering if some unknown medical condition would crop up and totally de-rail our migration plans. Thankfully, all the staff were very helpful and we were very relaxed throughout.

We were handed little 'sample' containers on arrival, thankfully with the kids only being 1yr and 3yrs they didn't have to provide urine samples. With this out of the way Amanda went off to the x-ray room to have a chest x-ray, leaving me to look after the kids.

Once Amanda finished having her chest x-ray, we then went upstairs to visit one of the doctors. He was very friendly and even made time for the little kids. He had a cabinet with several drawers of toys to keep them occupied. We all had a general check over, our height, weight and eyesight checked. Both myself and Amanda had blood samples taken.

After that, it was my turn for a chest x-ray before paying for the whole lot via visa card!

MedMigration send the completed application off to Sydney, Australia, so we now have to wait until they arrive with the Case Officer.
